How to Maintain Artificial Grass

 Artificial grass will accumulate bacteria or mold over time, so it is a good idea to have a regular maintenance schedule to keep its appearance fresh. Fill a large spray bottle with a half-water, half-vinegar solution, then spray the area that needs to be cleaned. If you wish to clean the entire area, use a spray bottle attached to a garden hose. Each week, use a garden hose to spray the fake grass then brush off excess water; this also will remove small debris. If snow and ice build-up on your fake lawn during the winter, do not walk on it and resist the urge to remove it using salt or a snow shovel – which will damage it. Instead, wait for warmer weather for the ice or snow to melt naturally. Alternatively, a leaf blower could be used in the winter to blow the snow away, not to mention any small debris that has built up on the surface.
