The first step in cleaning artificial grass is to remove any debris or mud from the surface. This is best done with either a tough-bristled brush, a garden rake (as long as it’s plastic, not metal), or a leaf blower.

This will remove any dry leaves, twigs, dust, dirt, pet hair, and other garden collateral. If you don’t do this, any debris could start to decompose and encourage the growth of moss or weeds as well as stop your lawn from draining effectively. In the long term, this could damage your artificial lawn.

This can be done on a weekly basis or whenever your fake grass looks like it could do with a tidy-up.

If anything heavy has been left lying on your lawn, you may notice it looks a bit flat. Simply rake or brush against the grain to spruce it up.
