How to Clean Artificial Turf

Key takeaways

  • Clear leaves and debris with a blower or a rake
  • Brush against the grain to lift the pile
  • Rinse with a hose to wash away dust and residue
  • Use a pet-safe cleaner for odors

Turf needs far less work than a lawn, but it does need some.

Clear debris

Use a blower or a plastic rake to remove leaves, needles and dirt.

Brush the pile

A stiff broom or a power brush lifts the blades and spreads infill evenly.

Rinse

A hose washes away dust and pollen. Rinsing also cools the surface on warm days.

Treat odors

For pet areas, use an enzyme cleaner made for turf and follow the label.
