Getting artificial grass installed on your lawn is just the first part. What comes next is knowing how to maintain it. Desert Artificial Lawn can help guide both residential and commercial clients in La Quinta, California towards maintenance and care for their artificial grass lawns, and the owners themselves can do it on their own. Artificial grass lawns require very little care or maintenance, which is why they are sought after by many property owners.
If you want to care for your artificial lawn in La Quinta, here are the things you need to do:
Clean up Debris
Like conventional grass lawns, artificial grass lawns will also have to deal with fallen leaves and branches. You can take care of these easily with a blower or a rake. Make sure you do it lightly, because you don’t want to disturb the infill when you are removing debris from the surface.
Clean up After Your Pets
Artificial grass is great for dogs, but like any normal lawn, you have to make sure you practice due diligence when cleaning up pet stains and mess. Fortunately, it shouldn’t be difficult compared to conventional grass lawns. Cleaning a synthetic lawn is pretty much the same as cleaning a traditional grass lawn.
Take Care of Stains
Artificial grass stains are another common problem for homeowners who own artificial grass. You can clean up liquids, including soda, alcohol, coffee and tea, urine, and even blood, by blotting them using a towel or a piece of absorbent material. Mix water and household soap to wash the area. You can use up a 3% solution of ammonium hydroxide in water to get rid of tough stains. Grease, oil, ink, and crayon stains can be removed from using mineral spirits.
Use the Right Equipment
When it comes to caring for your artificial lawn, there are two types of equipment that you’ll need: a vacuum cleaner and a broom. The vacuum cleaner should have a soft brush attachment and should be able to reach all areas of the artificial turf.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for keeping your artificial lawn healthy. As mentioned earlier, you don’t need any extensive maintenance, so you don’t need to expend too much effort. However, you should still take some time out to check on the condition of your lawn every few months. This way, you can spot problems early before they become big issues.
