How to Clean and Maintain Synthetic
Lawns
How often should you perform synthetic lawn maintenance will depend on your individual situation. For example, if you have pets, children, or trees and shrubs, you will definitely need to clean your synthetic lawn more frequently than those homeowners who do not have these issues at play. If you live in a highly dusty area, this may also require you to rinse your synthetic lawn down more often. Consequently, during rain season, you can let the rain clean your synthetic lawn and you may not need to wash it down as often.
· Weekly Synthetic Lawn Maintenance
In most cases you will need to lightly rinse down your synthetic lawn once per week. Lightly spraying down the grass fibers with water will remove dust and other small debris that has collected between washings.
· Monthly Synthetic Lawn Maintenance
A detailed cleaning of your synthetic lawn, implemented on a monthly basis, will assist in keeping your synthetic lawn green, clean and welcoming. To remove dust, dirt, leaves and other debris, all you need is a flexible rake, a stiff bristled broom or brush. If you choose to use a stiff brush or broom, make sure you do not use one with steel bristles, steel bristles can damage the synthetic lawn. Regular monthly cleaning your lawn is also an effective way to continue the upright position of each blade. It may be required that you perform this level of maintenance more often, if you have pets or during the seasons when trees and shrubs tend to lose their leaves or flowers. Once your synthetic lawn has been thoroughly cleaned, you may find it is not standing as tall and upright as you would like. You might also notice that your synthetic lawn is not as upright in certain areas after you, a family member or pet has been laying on it. This is an easy fix, by simply grooming the synthetic lawn by using a stiff broom or brush, brush against the natural grain to lift each blade of synthetic lawn and it will again stand up properly. Consistent grooming also prevents matting and keeps the infill of your synthetic lawn from compacting.
If you have moved into a home with a synthetic lawn that has not been correctly groomed or you are unable to keep up with the regular grooming required, we would recommended that you have your synthetic lawn professionally groomed to reestablish it to its former lushness and vitality.
