How to Clean Artificial Grass

 Artificial grass may not need water, fertilizer, or other care to grow, but it does need to be cleaned from time to time.

1. The clean synthetic turf at regular intervals. Depending on where the fake turf is installed, it will accumulate its share of leaves, dirt, small branches, and other debris. For smaller items, use a leaf blower to blow the items into one corner of your property for easy collection. You also may spray the artificial grass with a regular garden hose – do not pressure-wash fake grass. A broom or plastic rake also can be used regularly to keep the plastic blades standing upright, giving it a more natural look. Brush or rake in the same direction; always against the natural grain.
2. If your fake turf has been victimized by stains or spills, they can be removed by blotting the area with a paper towel, using water and mild soap or detergent, or a knife or other sharp object to scrape off sticky substances. Tougher stains or spills can be removed with mineral spirits, but you will need to spray the area with water afterward.
