Easily Maintaining Your Turf

June 30, 2022

Okay, so now you have the installed turf in your lovely yard and it becomes dirty or gets soiled, what do you do? Let’s think of the rainy days when it gets dirty, stained, or stuck with any unsolicited blemishes, you might have no clue how to fix it. As it’s not real grass, a quick spray with a water hose might not work up to your expectation therefore, a different approach is required. We will guide you through common scenarios that can crop up so you can fix and do the cleaning on your own without having to call for your artificial grass supplier.

Stains

The idea is to roll up the sleeves and remove the stain asap before it becomes dry and hard to remove. For waterborne stains (latex paint, glue, dye, etc.), a paper towel, cleaning cloth, or fluid absorbents such as kitten litter or fuller’s earth works wonders in removing the stain. Follow up with a combination of granular household detergent and one teaspoon to one pint of water would suffice for odour removal.

For more stubborn stains, kindly resist the urge to take bleaches or heavy-duty cleaning products since they might destroy your lovely turf. Instead, use our specially formulated Oxyturf Cleaner & Disinfectant which is specially formulated to clean the artificial turf and will get the job done quickly, easily, and without harming the environment or your pet’s health. It is 100% biodegradable and contains no acid.

Animal Waste

Try to remove any animal waste at first sight. It is smart to hose down the area habitually to promote the drainage of urine as well as to maintain surface hygiene. To control odours, simply neutralize distilled vinegar with an equal amount of water and remember to hose the area thoroughly after applying. Follow up with the Oxyturf Cleaner & Disinfectant cleanser for optimal clean and sanitization of your turf.
