MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Cleaning

– dust/dirt: rain will take care of most of such contamination as it will be taken through the perforations into the ground. In case of indoor applications, vacuum cleaner comes in as a good option

– leaves, weeds, cigarretes butts, food rests other debris: are to be manually removed from grass

– light stains: if water rinsing is not enough, warm water with soap comes in as a good solution to clean dirty spots (with help of a rug or mop)

– animal excrements: it is recommended to remove it and rinse it with water or water with soap

– chewing gum: best way is to freeze it with ice cube and than remove leftovers

Brushing, refresing and quartz sand replenishing

– depending on how intensively the grass is to be used, it will need brushing so that its yarn are refreshed and put back into an upright position. In order to achieve this, use a brush with stiff, short and non-metallic bristle. Artificial grass is brushed against the yarn. Typically, high foot traffic is located along the communication routes, commercial applications, public playgrounds.

– in order to refresh the grass it is recommended to brush it after intensive activities, rain storms or snowmelt took place

– water sprinkling on hot days will allow to get rid of dust excess and will contribute to decreasing grass temperature what will, as a consequence, make using grass more comfortable

– if, due to intensive activities or atmospheric conditions (rain, wind), quartz sand that has been brushed in dislocates, it would have to be replenished according to recommendations

What to avoid?

– lit cigarettes, open fire, grill, fireworks

– furniture or objects with sharp edges which could damage the grass

– aggressive chemicals which could lead to negative effects such as yarn discoloration

– intensive activities on the grass at temperatures below -15st.C

– mechanical ice removal

– sunshine exposure through glass or metal objects which may lead to discoloration due to extreme temperatures (magnifying glass effect)
