How to Maintenance Indoor Synthetic Grass to Keep It Long Lasting

Education

November 8, 2024

Artificial turf is now increasingly popular for indoor use, whether for sports purposes, office decoration, or at home. Having synthetic grass indoors gives a fresh, green, and natural impression that is more practical because it does not require sunlight or trimming.

However, like other decor elements, artificial turf also requires special care to keep it looking fresh and lasting. Here are some ways to take good care of indoor artificial turf.

Clean Regularly from Dust and Dirt

Indoor artificial turf can still accumulate dust and dirt, especially when installed in areas where people often walk. Cleaning it regularly is the first step to maintaining its appearance.
You can use a vacuum cleaner with soft bristle tips to clean the surface layer. Vacuum slowly, making sure that every corner is well swept.

Alternatively, you can also use a leaf blower (electric leaf blower) which is commonly used to clear the garden of dry leaf litter. This tool can help dislodge any debris that may be caught in the grass fibers.
If there are any stains, such as spilled drinks or other debris, then wipe them off immediately with a damp cloth. But it should be noted, that the use of water or wet cloth cannot be applied to some types of synthetic grass.

If you are installing artificial turf with Datra products & services, you should consult Datra for maintenance details or other concerns that may occur on your field.

Special Comb or Brush Synthetic Grass to Keep it Upright

After some time of use, the fibers in synthetic grass can start to bend and lose their original shape. To keep the grass looking upright, you need to comb it with a special soft-bristled synthetic grass brush. Comb gently in the opposite direction of the grass folds so that the fibers stand upright again.
Using a soft-bristled brush is key to avoiding damage to the fibers. To make it easier, use a special brush for artificial turf. Comb regularly, especially in areas that are frequently used or stepped on.

Avoid Heavy Loads at One Point

Indoor artificial turf is generally not designed to withstand too much weight over a long period of time. If possible, then avoid placing heavy objects, such as large furniture or sports equipment, in one particular spot.

However, if you must place it on the artificial turf, consider moving it periodically so that the grass fibers are not damaged in one spot.

Also, place a guard under the machine's feet to prevent the pressure from hitting the grass directly. This can help extend the life of the artificial turf and prevent the fibers from deflating.

Use Special Fragrances to Counteract Odors

Indoor synthetic grass that is often used, especially for sports purposes or play areas, may be at risk of causing unpleasant odors. To overcome this, you can use a special synthetic grass fragrance to be safe. These fragrances usually contain ingredients that can kill odor-causing bacteria.
Make sure the product you use is a special synthetic grass fragrance so as not to damage the texture and color.

Pay Attention to Light Source and Room Temperature

Synthetic grass does not need sunlight. In fact, exposure to too strong light from lamps or too hot a room temperature can cause the color of the grass to fade. Make sure the room has good ventilation and controlled temperature.

If the indoor artificial turf is installed close to a strong light source, then consider installing shades or curtains to reduce excessive direct exposure. Also, keep the room temperature cool and air circulation maintained to keep the artificial turf durable.

Conduct Regular Checkups and Replace Damaged Parts

Regular inspection is an important part of artificial turf maintenance. Check periodically if there are torn parts or damaged fibers. If you find a damaged part, then immediately repair it or replace it with a new part. Early repairs can prevent further damage and keep the grass looking its best.
This check is also useful to ensure that all elements of synthetic grass are functioning properly. Especially when used in play or sports areas, excellent grass conditions will provide more comfort and safety for its users.

Indoor artificial turf offers many advantages, especially in terms of practicality, but it still requires proper maintenance to keep it looking like new. By following some of the tips above, you can extend the life of synthetic grass and keep it looking beautiful.
