How do you maintain artificial turf?
Nanaimo homeowners prefer artificial turf for its ability to remain healthy, presentable and has low maintenance needs.
With that said, you still need to keep an eye on your lawn to ensure it lasts for the full length of its lifespan. Today, we’d like to take a closer look at the care involved with owning an artificial turf lawn in Nanaimo.
If you’re one of those Nanaimo homeowners who has exchanged high water costs, allergens, and hours spent sweating away the warmer months grooming real lawn for the ease, convenience, and consistent beauty of synthetic turf, the reality is that now the artificial turf installation is finished, you still need to provide some regular care to keep it looking fresh.
Let’s take a look.
Artificial Turf doesn’t face the same obstacles that real grass does — nor does it require the same regular upkeep procedures. An synthetic turf lawn won’t be susceptible to weeds or diseases/fungi, but it risks other wear and tear in high traffic areas, and battering from the elements. Just because it’s artificial doesn’t mean it won’t require time and attention once the installation is complete.
Artificial turf management in Nanaimo
Caring for artificial turf involves the day-to-day management of what happens to your lawn. Between children, pets, and the elements, even synthetic grass will need some sort of stain management. Unlike real residential turf, where food, pet, or oil would eventually grow out or be mown away, spills and stains need to be resolved in order to keep the quality look and feel of your lawn.

1. For Mild Stains
Life happens, and it often happens outside. Sooner or later, a plate will go tumbling to the ground at a backyard barbeque, an alcoholic beverage will be knocked over, or a pet will leave his mark somewhere in the yard. For stains including cola, alcohol, urine, blood, coffee, tea, and other simple everyday substances, cleaning and care are relatively simple.
You will need to:
- Be prompt. Cleaning up a spill quickly is the best way to ensure it won’t leave a long-lasting, stubborn stain.
- Blot up the spilled liquid with a towel or with a dry absorbent like kitty litter.
- Rinse the area with a mixture of water and a mild residential household detergent. This will not harm the fibers.
- If you need a stronger removal aid, use a 3% solution of ammonia in water instead of the household detergent.
- Thoroughly rinse out the cleaning product using clean, cool water.
2. For Stubborn Stains
Substances like motor oil, grease, pen ink, cooking oil, suntan oil, and crayon can end up on your turf, and they often prove to be a bit more stubborn than the everyday substances mentioned above. If a stain doesn’t respond to mild household detergents or an ammonia mixture, try using mineral spirits to draw out the stain. The cleaning process is similar with mineral spirits: gently rinse the area, and blot up the excess liquid.
3. For the Really Sticky Stuff
Tree sap and chewing gum can also end up stuck in, but luckily they’re relatively easy to remove. Dry ice or aerosol refrigerants can be used to freeze the sap or gum off, and it can then be scraped off the grass.
4. Removing Pet Waste
Having pets doesn’t mean you must constantly clean and rinse your artificial grass — clean up of pet waste is quite simple. Simply:
Allow solid waste to dry before you remove it.
Residential and commercial artificial turf products will drain almost any type of liquid. So, if desired, to avoid a stench, douse the area in cool water from a hose on urine spots.
Most things that fall upon your lawn are removable — still, it’s better to avoid them to prevent damage to it in the first place. For example, in addition to keeping liquids that could potentially damage the grass far away or secured, keep cigarettes and fireworks off, and do not use strong chemicals near the grass, either.
5. Maintaining Your Lawn for the Future
In addition to the everyday wear, tear, and accidents, synthetic lawn owners should follow a few routine steps to maintain the quality and longevity of the artificial turf. Most residential and commercial artificial turf products will last anywhere between 15 to 25 years, depending on its use.
