Washing And Cleaning
After brushing, it’s time to clean the turf. Using a garden hose, rinse the artificial grass to wash away dust, dirt, and small debris. For stubborn stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with water and gently scrub the area using a brush. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap residue is left behind.
Ensuring Proper Drainage
Check the drainage of your lawn by observing how quickly water drains after washing or rain. If water pools on the surface, you may need to address compacted infill or clogged drainage systems. Use a rake to break up compacted infill and ensure it is evenly distributed. For drainage issues, consider consulting a professional to assess and rectify the problem.
Replenishing Infill
Finally, replenish the infill material if needed. Over time, infill can compact and wear thin, affecting both the appearance and functionality of your lawn. Spread the infill evenly across the turf using a broadcast spreader or by hand. Brush the grass again to help the infill settle and support the grass fibers. This step is essential in the artificial turf refresh process.
Regularly refreshing your artificial grass ensures it remains beautiful and functional, providing a pleasant outdoor space for you and your family. By following these steps and staying vigilant with maintenance, you can enjoy a lush, green lawn year-round.
