About this deal

Artificial turf can and does get really hot when it gets hot outdoors. It probably won’t catch fire no matter how hot it gets. But window glare from your home or your neighbor’s house can cause burns to the turf. Height adjustability is a great-to-have feature when it comes to buying a turf cleaner. If you choose a unit with a telescopic handle, short and tall members of the household can use the tool. Artificial grass is generally very easy to keep clean, with rainfall doing a lot of the work for us. However, during a dry period, hosing down artificial turf lawn is a good option and can help remove stubborn dirt, dust and debris. The weekly cleaning schedule recommended for light-use fake turf may not be enough. Experts recommend deep cleaning artificial turf at least once every 3-4 months. And if it’s a heavy-use lawn, the recommendation changes to roughly once each month. How Do You Remove Dog Urine Smell from Artificial Turf? Also, some playfield maintenance crews use ultra-powerful magnets to remove metal debris from the field. That ensures that players unleash their A game without getting cuts and injuries.

Once you install the right grass or turf in your yard, start showing it some tender loving care. With proper maintenance, your grass will always look good. And there’s a decent chance it’ll last years. However, it’s vital to apply a vacuum cleanser particularly designed for artificial grass, as normal vacuum cleaners can damage the fibers and shorten the lifespan of the turf. I must say this again, though: vacuuming fake grass that has pet infill isn’t highly recommended. But if it’s infill-free (because you don’t have any furry friends around), you may safely use a fake grass-specific vacuum for the outdoor clean. Make sure that the personal-use lawn vacuum or commercial turf vacuum you’re looking at isn’t too heavy. If it’s a wheeled vacuum, then weight may not be such a big selection factor. To be clear, though, both types of grass will last long if you give them proper care and maintenance.Artificial grass is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional turf. However, artificial grass needs regular cleaning and maintenance, so it looks its best. You can vacuum artificial grass with a low-powered handheld, or cordless model and pressure wash artificial grass, but be careful with the settings and use a mild artificial turf cleaner for deep cleaning. Signs of severe wear and tear, artificial blade loss, fading in colour or increased brittleness may indicate it’s time to replace artificial grass. It lifts the vast majority of debris in its way, runs it through the power brush and shoots it straight into the collection bag behind it. It’s really quite impressive and satisfying to use! Another thing to be aware of is whether the brush lifts the pile of the artificial grass (which can dramatically improve the lawn’s appearance), whilst also removing debris. Look for options that specifically mention lifting the pile ; this style of brush can even be used to create stripes! Using a cordless leaf blower, an artificial grass rake or an artificial grass broom can all help rid your lawn of leaves and debris. Ideal for freshly laid artificial turf, this artificial lawn brush can also lift the grass strands from their compacted state, fluffing them up and making them look more realistic. It’s suitable for both regular maintenance jobs and new installs, making it better value for money than a lot of other brooms on the market.

The speed of the brush can be adjusted from 2000 to 4000 rpm for additional cleaning power depending on the durability and condition of your grass. If you have a second home and don’t want lawn service entering the property in your absence, go with Pro tip: avoid leaving the blower’s lithium battery plugged in for too long. One reviewer had their battery bursting into a fireball! I suspect it’s because they left the battery recharging for too long. Pros

A good option is to use a vacuum you already have in the house or look for a secondhand one that you don’t mind getting damaged, as there is a chance that the lawn debris could harm your hoover. Also, you might not be covered under a guarantee for your new vacuum if it’s used on lawns.

Don’t use a vacuum with high suction power as this will remove any infill and damage the fibres. Look for a vacuum that has adjustable suction power. Battery-operated garden vacuums are the most hassle-free option as they require neither fuel nor a cord. However, they are only good for cleaning small areas and light jobs due to the limited power and runtime. That is why most homeowners prefer corded electric models because of their efficiency, and greater convenience. Best corded electric garden vacuum I haven’t marked my scoring down for either of these points, because I think they’re both pretty fair and normal limitations. I just wanted to make you aware of them, so you’re in the know. Safety – 4.5/5 Visually, it looks the part too. The vibrant blue that’s synonymous with Hyundai and the big logo on the front and on the 45 litre collection bag is reassuring. You feel like you’ve got a well built machine in your hands.

Thanks to the long length of the brush’s bristles, it can clean to the ‘roots’ of artificial grass and remove leaves, stones and garden debris. However, if you have a lot of moss growing on your artificial turf, you may need a more heavy-duty tool. Overall, this brush is a good choice for regular garden maintenance. Artificial-lawn brushes look similar to a standard household broom. They have bristles that are compatible with artificial grass and won’t cause damage to grass fibres. Compared to rakes, brushes have a lot of bristles and are useful for removing smaller pieces of dirt and debris from the lawn, as well as larger leaves. Hosing down stuff works best when you do it immediately after the incident. If you wait too long the spillage will dry up and become a tad harder to remove. Removal may require you to brush the dirt off using mild soap and water. Pro tips: Run this power broom against the grain of your turf. Also, avoid power brooming areas with loose turf blades to avoid further damage. And definitely don’t over-brush/over-defibrillate your grass. Here’s a video on how to correctly power-brush artificial turf. Pros
