Nowadays many outdoor areas install interlocking artificial grass which is easy to use and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. These can be used for various purposes such as landscaping, sports areas, or even for pets, and if they are kept clean, it helps in maintaining their condition and appearance. Today’s article focuses on providing you with effective steps to clean interlocking artificial grass tiles using day-to-day cleaning techniques.
1. The Tiles should be Frequently Rinsed.
Rinsing them in water is one of the most fail-safe methods for cleaning interlocking artificial grass tiles and eliminating some potential contaminants from them. Dedicating a few minutes to rinse the tiles improves rinsing by blasting them out with a water shower to remove dust particles, dirt, and blotted debris. Low water pressure should be used when attempting this to avoid damaging the tiles or the grass fibers. A hose can be helpful in this situation.
2. Use a Knife to remove the Silt that has caked around the edges of the tiles.
To remove silt from nooks and crannies, a soft-bristle toothbrush can be the best option as it can comfortably sweep the silt without applying much pressure. This helped in maintaining the ideal conditions of the surface and assisted in normal brushing and movement without snagging. The silt that fell to the floor is also removed by the movement of the soft bristles of the brush.
3. Clean Stubborn Stains with Soapy Water.
Tough stains, like those made by spills or mud, can be difficult to remove. Try applying a mixture of warm water and mild detergent to the spot where the stain is present. Use a brush or cloth to gently scrub the area in order to lift the stain. Do remember to wash the area well, this will ensure that soap is removed from the area, preventing dust from accumulating on it later.
4. Power Wash if Necessary (Optional)
For big areas or deep cleaning, alternating between washing and drying, a power washer set at low pressure can also be used. Be careful with the power washer as too much pressure can possibly ruin the artificial grass or may displace the tiles. Make sure to keep it on the low setting at all times and use the nozzle carefully.
5. Dry Interlocking Artificial Grass and Under Tiles, Regular Maintenance Required
After you are done cleaning the interlocking artificial grass, give it some time to air dry. Avoid having any water resting on the surface of the tiles as this can encourage the growth of either mold or mildew. Artificial grass that is well maintained is able to look and remain intact for long periods of time, retaining the vibrancy of the artificial grass.
With these useful cleaning techniques, your interlocking artificial grass will last longer while ensuring that your outdoor spaces appear aesthetic and undeterred through every season. Regular maintenance will also help eliminate any foul smells and dust from the grass so that it is safe and comfortable for use by families, pets, or sports purposes.
