The high water consumption and the maintenance requirements for conventional grass are pushing many homeowners to opt for artificial grass instead. This means no hassle of mowing or watering your lawn for it to look appealing and presentable. However, just because artificial grass might appear pristine at all times, that does not mean they are not subject to stains and spills. Therefore, if your artificial lawn Adelaide has some kind of stains or spills, here are ways you can get rid of some of the most common ones.  

Wine Stain:

  1. Wine stain is a widespread stain in artificial grass lawns. Spilling red wine at any place can leave a tough stain very hard to get rid of, and artificial grass is no exception. However, as long as you use the proper method, cleaning the stain should not be much of a hassle. Experts recommend using a clean rag and soaking the stain in cold water. After that, you must apply some diluted white vinegar and remove any remaining coloration from the surface of the artificial grass. You can then simply rinse the stained area and leave it to dry appropriately, and voila, your artificial grass will appear as good as new. 

Cooking Oil. Or Grease:

  1. BBQ parties are something you should have indoors, especially if you have a beautiful artificial lawn Adelaide. However, this also means there are significant chances of a spill occurring during the party. In such cases, you first need to absorb as much grease as possible using a rag or paper towels. However, make sure not to scrub over the spill as it will only push the oil further. Then you can use detergent with warm water and spray the mixture on the area. Let it soak for about five minutes and start bloating again to get rid of all the residue.           

Dog Urine:

  1. Dogs are generally in love with outdoor artificial grass. However, you cannot always prevent your dog from peeing or pooping on the lawn. Thus, in case of any such mess, make sure to act fast and clean up the mess at the earliest. You can hose down the urine and spray some enzyme cleaners to break down the pee further. In the case of solid waste, you can simply pick the waste and throw it elsewhere. However, make sure to use the hose after cleaning the solid waste as well. As a general rule of thumb when buying an artificial grass lawn as a dog owner, make sure that the variety you’re going with is pet-friendly, and safe for them to play on. Companies like Grass Warehouse offer specific pet-friendly varieties, and this will also make them easier to clean in the long-term.

Chewing Gum:

  1. Saving the worst for the last brings us to chewing gums. However, cleaning chewing gum off your artificial grass is not as tricky as it might appear. You can simply place some ice cubes on the spot and let them sit for about ten minutes. This will harden the gum and make it easier to pick off. Once you are done with that, you can use any object like a butter knife and scrape gently until all the chewing gum residue is out of the grass fibers. 

Final Thoughts

As you can see, cleaning your artificial grass is not as complex as you might have imagined. Therefore, leverage this information and ensure your artificial lawn remains clean at all times. In addition, feel free to reach The Turf Farm in case you need any assistance with your artificial lawn.
