ARTIFICIAL TURF MAINTENANCE: BRUSHING

You should brush your artificial turf surface as much as necessary (depending on the usage). It should be done in various directions. There are a few different benefits from doing so:

• It ensures pile remains upright: sometimes pile can become flattened
• It removes infill from the surface: sometimes infill can work its way to the surface of your turf, light brushing will return it to the turf structure
• It helps avoid compaction

ARTIFICIAL TURF MAINTENANCE: LEAF COLLECTION

Again, it’s a small task, but the neglect of it can lead to deterioration of the surface. Debris should be removed from the surface by hand and by brushing. This prevents organic matter from building up in the turf structure. If organic matter is allowed to accumulate, drainage will be affected and weed growth will become more likely. You may also wish to use a leaf blower to do this.

ARTIFICIAL TURF MAINTENANCE: WEED KILLING

Moss and weed killing should take place when needed. This is to ensure that there is no accumulation of vegetation on the synthetic surface.

Important to remember:

• The moss and weed killer agent you use must be a water based one (such as ‘Roundup’
• All dead matter must be removed / swept from the surface

NEVER TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH YOUR SYNTHETIC TURF SURFACE:

• Glass and sharp objects
• Cigarettes, fire, fireworks
• Chewing gum and adhesives
• Cars, motorbikes and heavy vehicles
• Barbecues

A FEW MORE THINGS TO NOTE:

• Animal waste should be removed manually and the area should be washed with warm water and soap
