Follow these recommendations if you want this material to look like new
There are many who use artificial grass in their garden. The high temperatures that mark summer can affect the survival of your lawn. For this reason, in areas where the climate is extremely dry and it is difficult to keep natural grass in good condition, many resort to artificial grass as a solution. This type of material allows the garden, patio or terrace to always be green and, in addition, you can combine it with outdoor floors that are installed without works.
With this type of lawn you won’t have to worry about watering or drying out. The only problem with this type of material is that being outside it gets dirty easily. To prevent your lawn from losing its characteristic green tone, you can follow a series of tips that will help keep it in good condition.
Tips for maintaining your artificial grass
– In addition to the usual maintenance to remove fallen leaves or branches, you must comb this material well. When stepping on the artificial grass, it remains crushed. To leave it as new, you must comb it with a hard bristle brush or with a special sweeper for artificial grass. Remember that you should always comb the grass in the opposite direction of the fibers.
– Water the lawn from time to time. Although it does not need water to survive, watering it from time to time will remove traces of dirt and dust that accumulates from being outdoors. By watering it you will be able to give a sensation of freshness on hot summer nights. You don’t have to water it very often, once a month or a couple of times in spring and summer (especially if there are children playing on the lawn or if you live in a haze area) is enough.
– Avoid watering the lawn if the temperature is very low, since the ice can damage the base of the carpet.
– If the artificial grass was installed with silica sand, it will be necessary to check the filling of this sand, to replace it and distribute it if necessary. The goal is to re-level the lawn. In addition, this sand helps retain moisture.
– Carry out a pathogenic disinfection of the lawn. You must bear in mind that being an artificial coating, bacteria move freely. Disinfection is very important if there are pets at home. To proceed with it, you can use a solution of soapy water or a neutral antibacterial detergent. These types of products are also useful for removing stains. There are also sanitizing sprays for artificial grass.
– If you want your artificial grass to smell like natural grass, you can use a specific air freshener.
