How often does turf need a deep cleaning? 

While regular rinsing and brushing can keep the artificial turf clean and well-maintained, every once in a while, it requires a more thorough cleaning. Deep cleaning separates the fibers while lifting and loosening the infill. 

For deep cleaning, you use a power brush with stiff bristles to arrange intensity brushing energy. During the process, you can easily remove dirt and debris. It’s also possible to lift the infill and remove the dirt and contamination before redistributing it between the blades. 

You need to arrange deep cleaning of your turf once every one or two years. 

Infill Top Up  

As time passes, infill can compact in between the fibers or be moved away by heavy traffic or adverse weather. When this happens, your synthetic grass becomes less resistant to wear and tear. Hardened infill or its absence causes fibers to bend, weaken, and look unnatural. Meanwhile, more infill in one section of the grass and less infill in another area could create a tripping hazard. 

That’s why infill top-up is an essential part of synthetic grass maintenance. During the process, you should restore the infill to the recommended levels and use a spreading machine to distribute it across the artificial grass surface. 

Before topping up, you may need to perform a slight decompaction to loosen the existing infill.
