How can synthetic turf maintenance prevent degradation?  

Synthetic turf maintenance can prevent degradation by providing much-needed support to artificial grass fibers, backing, and infill. You would need to design a comprehensive maintenance schedule and stick to it. Otherwise, even the top-notch used turf can start showing signs of wear and tear quickly. 

Rinsing  

Contrary to a common misconception, natural lawns aren’t the only ones that need watering. Artificial grass does too. 

Washing your artificial lawn doesn’t just make it look clean and fresh. It can prevent degradation by rinsing away detritus and pet waste. Most pollutants, dust, leaves, and small debris go away after thorough rinsing. 

You can rinse your artificial lawn with a garden hose. While thoroughness is the key to effective rinsing, don’t go too hard on the lawn. Go from one end of the synthetic turf and walk toward another end while making circular motions with the hose. 

How often should you water a turf lawn?   

You should spray water on your turf lawn once a week. If you have pets, you may need to do it on an “as needed” basis. Removing pet waste as soon as possible is key to preventing pet-related turf degradation.
