- 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.
- Allow any pet waste to dry before removing it. This makes it easier.
- 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.
- Ash from cigarettes, fires, or BBQs could all melt your artificial grass so make sure to keep these things away from your lawn.
- Rotate your garden furniture now and then to allow the artificial grass to spring back into shape and prevent it from being permanently flattened.
- Consider trimming back hedges and overhanging trees to minimize the number of leaves that fall on your artificial grass.
- Keep motorized garden tools away from your fake grass as they can also damage it.
- 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.
- While wheelbarrows, bikes, and wheelchairs are fine to use on artificial grass, motor vehicles should be kept off your lawn.
- Mirrors, magnifying glasses, and other reflective surfaces can pose a danger to artificial lawns as they can cause burning.
- If painting in the garden, put a sheet down to prevent any spillage on your artificial lawn.
- 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.
- Don’t pressure wash your artificial lawn as this could remove the infill, causing your lawn to look saggy.
