I had artificial turf installed one year ago and love it every single day. I had lots of questions abut care and maintenance of my artificial turf and Global Syn Turf gave me all the information I needed. You can blow, rake or hose debris off of your artificial turf with no harm. Be careful when someone uses an edging tool around the synthetic grass. Do not set blowers down on the artificial turf as the heat from the mower can melt the turf. Keep oil, petroleum and gas away from artificial turf surfaces. If for any reason you ever get static electricity in your artificial turf you can putt fabric softer and water and spray it on the turf. If the artificial grass blades start to lay over feel free to add more infill and most importantly brush the turf up with a push broom, carpet rake or gas powered broom. After having artificial turf in my yard for one year I sure have learned a lot about owning and maintaining synthetic grass. Thank you Global Syn Turf for the education in maintenance and upkeep.
