Maintaining a regular cleaning routine for your artificial turf helps prevent unwanted issues and ensures you and your family can enjoy your outdoor space without concerns. Over time, the infill material and turf blades can break down into dust, which can be harmful if inhaled by children, pets, or even adults. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your turf can prevent this from happening. Here are some of the advantages of professional turf cleaning:
Artificial turf can harbor germs, and kids love running barefoot on it because it feels great. However, if the turf is excessively dirty, they risk exposure to issues like ringworm, pinworms, or black mold—bringing those contaminants into your home. Pets can also introduce fleas, ticks, and worms, further increasing the potential for harmful bacteria and parasites to thrive on your turf. If your dog frequently relieves itself on the grass, the risk of viruses and bacteria lingering increases, which children could pick up and track indoors.
To maintain the quality and longevity of your artificial turf, proper drainage is essential. Whether it’s a lawn, tennis court, or football field, artificial grass is designed to allow liquids like water and pet urine to pass through its perforated backing and into the ground, similar to natural grass. However, excessive dirt and debris can clog the backing, leading to drainage issues. When drainage is poor, you may experience:
Stepping outside on a sunny day to take a deep breath of fresh air—only to be met with the unpleasant scent of pet urine? Dogs tend to pick a favorite spot and repeatedly mark their territory, which isn’t usually an issue with natural grass. However, without regular cleaning and maintenance, artificial turf can start to hold onto odors.
So, what does regular cleaning involve? If your pets use the lawn as a bathroom, hose down the area immediately after they go. To prevent bacteria buildup between deep cleanings, consider applying an antimicrobial coating. Additionally, schedule periodic deep cleans using an eco-friendly, pet- and child-safe cleaner.
