ARTIFICIAL GRASS DO’S AND DON’TS

  1. If you spill something on your artificial grass, quickly soak up any spillage with a clean cloth, absorbing as much as possible. Then use soap and warm water with a clean cloth or sponge to remove whatever’s left before rinsing with the garden hose.
  2. Allow any pet waste to dry before removing it. This makes it easier.
  3. If any ice forms on your fake lawn during the winter months, let it melt naturally rather than trying to remove it which could damage the blades.
  4. Ash from cigarettes, fires, or BBQs could all melt your artificial grass so make sure to keep these things away from your lawn.
  5. Rotate your garden furniture now and then to allow the artificial grass to spring back into shape and prevent it from being permanently flattened.
  6. Consider trimming back hedges and overhanging trees to minimize the number of leaves that fall on your artificial grass.
  7. Keep motorized garden tools away from your fake grass as they can also damage it.
  8. The same goes for sharp or pointy objects, including stiletto heels or football boots with studs—as well as chewing gum which is a nightmare to remove from artificial grass.
  9. While wheelbarrows, bikes, and wheelchairs are fine to use on artificial grass, motor vehicles should be kept off your lawn.
  10. Mirrors, magnifying glasses, and other reflective surfaces can pose a danger to artificial lawns as they can cause burning.
  11. If painting in the garden, put a sheet down to prevent any spillage on your artificial lawn.
  12. It’s worth trying to train your dog or cat to do their business in a specific area of your garden away from your grass. This will minimise the amount of cleaning up you have to do.
  13. Don’t pressure wash your artificial lawn as this could remove the infill, causing your lawn to look saggy.
