A benefit of synthetic grass for families with children is its reliability and decreased need of upkeep. This means less time spent on maintenance and more time for your children spent on playing. While synthetic turf requires less maintenance than a natural grass backyard, a little work is still needed. Here’s how to maintain your child’s artificial turf backyard playground so that their recreation time is uninterrupted. 

Removing Debris 

Clean and clear out any fallen branches, leaves, and other any other noticeable debris. You can accomplish this by using different tools like a rake or a leaf blower. Doing this will give your turf a clean look and will also keep your child out of harm’s way from accidentally stumbling on something. 

Occasionally Rinsing Your Artificial Turf

Lightly rinse your synthetic grass with a hose to rid it of dirt, dust, and pollen. This can be done periodically from time to time to maintain your turf’s cleanliness. 

Cleanup After Your Pets

For owners of pets, you’ll want to remove any of their waste as soon as you spot it. The process is simple and convenient and can be done with plastic bags or a scooper. After disposing of the waste, give the area a rinse down with your hose to eliminate any possible odors.

Cleaning Stains

With the amount of time your children will spend playing around on your artificial grass, there’s bound to be various spills and stains. Luckily, the cleaning process for your turf is easy. Vinegar or mild soap can get the job done for minor stains.

Weed Removal

You may on occasion encounter weed growth in the cracks or edges of your synthetic turf. Either manually remove it yourself or call a company to help you do so.
