The Complete Guide to Cleaning Synthetic Turf
Synthetic turf has become the surface of choice for sports fields, schools, golf courses, and commercial facilities across New Zealand. It delivers durability, consistent playability, and lower long-term maintenance compared to natural grass.
But “low maintenance” doesn’t mean “no maintenance.” Regular cleaning is vital to keep synthetic turf safe, hygienic, and looking its best. In this guide, we’ll cover why turf cleaning matters, the essentials of top cleaning, and the importance of deep cleaning.Why Turf Cleaning is Important
Safety & Hygiene
Synthetic turf collects dust, debris, pet waste, food spills, and bacteria over time. Without cleaning, this can create health risks for players and users.
Appearance & Play Quality
Dirt and compaction flatten turf fibers, making surfaces look worn and uneven. Regular brushing restores the “stand-up” look of turf and ensures a true playing surface.
Drainage & Longevity
Blocked infill and compacted debris prevent water from draining, leading to puddling and premature wear. Proper cleaning extends the life of the turf and protects your investment.
Protecting Your Warranty
Many turf suppliers recommend (or even require) routine cleaning as part of their warranty terms.
