Revitalize Your Outdoor Space: Tips for Using Artificial Grass Cleaner Effectively
If you’ve ever had a professional synthetic grass cleaning service from TurFresh, you know how remarkably it rejuvenates your lawn. Our comprehensive 10-point cleaning process goes beyond what the average homeowner can do and deep cleans your synthetic grass from root to tip.
However, as much as we’d like to be there for you every day, sometimes you may notice that your lawn starts looking a little worse for wear before you’re due for your next TurFresh service. If this is the case, using an artificial grass cleaner can help keep your synthetic grass looking fresh and vibrant between TurFresh cleanings. To use your synthetic grass cleaner most effectively, follow these simple tips during your next turf maintenance day.
Choose a Safe Synthetic Turf Cleaner
The first and most crucial step in keeping your artificial grass looking its best is choosing a safe and effective artificial grass cleaner. This is important because using harsh chemicals can damage the synthetic fibers and alter the color of your grass.
When choosing a turf cleaner, look for one that is specifically formulated for artificial grass, such as TurFresh BioS+ or TurFresh BioX. These products are designed to be gentle yet effective, neutralizing odors at their source without causing damage to the turf or putting your family’s health at risk. At TurFresh, not only are our turf deodorizer products safe for your lawn, but they are also all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for kids and pets.
Remove Pet Waste
If you have pets, it’s important to clean your synthetic grass lawn and remove any liquid or solid pet waste before applying your artificial grass cleaner. Pet waste can leave unpleasant odors and stains on your grass, which can be difficult to remove if left unattended for too long. Applying your deodorizer over stagnant pet waste will also lessen the cleaner’s effectiveness and result in odors after a short time.
Begin by removing any solid pet waste sitting on the surface of your turf. This can be easily done using a plastic bag or pooper scooper, just as you would with natural grass. Once you’ve removed the solid waste, rinse down the affected area with your garden hose to help flush away any remnants. Even if there is no solid pet waste, you should hose down the areas that your dog commonly uses as a bathroom to help flush away any remaining urine. You can also further clean the area using a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water.
Rinse Your Turf Thoroughly
Once your lawn has been cleared of any debris and pet waste, you’ll need to thoroughly saturate your synthetic grass. Using your garden hose, rinse down the entire surface of your turf, making sure to flush away any remaining dust or debris. The water will help activate your artificial grass cleaner, so this is a crucial step before applying the turf deodorizer.
Even if you aren’t applying a turf deodorizer, it’s always a good idea to rinse down your artificial grass at least once a week to keep away debris, pollen, dust, and pet waste buildup. This will help minimize odors so you don’t need to apply your synthetic turf cleaner as often.
Apply Your Synthetic Turf Cleaner
Once you have thoroughly rinsed your lawn, it’s time to apply the synthetic turf cleaner. Using the BioSiphon hose attachment, mix the artificial grass cleaner with water according to the instructions on the label. The siphon sprayer will allow you to evenly distribute the diluted solution on your lawn, ensuring that no spot is missed.
After applying the solution, use your hose to thoroughly rinse the area once again. This process removes any excess synthetic grass cleaner and prevents any potential residue from forming on your lawn. You can also then use a synthetic bristle brush to cross-brush your lawn and keep your turf looking lush and revitalized.
