Yes, when you’re dealing with artificial grass, cleaning up after your pets is simple. It is possible to collect and dispose of solid trash. The residual particles and liquid waste should be cleaned up afterward by hosing them down. You will, however, thoroughly wet down the synthetic grass to remove any waste from the blades, backing, filler, and base materials. Avoid using strong cleaning chemicals such as acids or alcohol-based solutions. Any other techniques of cleaning that might remove the glue and adhesives keeping the seams together should be avoided as well.
What Is Artificial Grass Made From?
According to the Synthetic Turf Council, synthetic grass has been developed and evolved through years of research and development into what is now known as “third generation” synthetic grass. Synthetic grass has evolved into the high-quality material we know today for most landscape projects as a result of this ongoing innovation.
The green blades of synthetic grass are made of polyethylene, a popular type of plastic used in bottles and plastic bags. Polyethylene is delivered as a solid pellet, which is heated together with any color tones and UV-resistant additives. Polypropylene, polyethylene, or nylon are used to make the thatch layer of synthetic grass. The thatch layer gives additional support and blade recovery to the lawn.
A tufting machine, which is essentially a large sewing machine with hundreds of needles, is used to insert synthetic grass blades into the backing in rows. This machine provides a more firm grip for the grass blades and thatch, extending the turf’s life and durability.
