Maintenance Options & Advice
Keep your artificial lawn fresh, safe, and looking new.
Explore our practical tips and professional maintenance services for your home turf.
Regular Maintenance Schedule
We recommend giving your turf a light clean every few weeks. Regular soft brushing, raking, or sweeping helps keep the fibres upright and stops debris from building up. A deeper clean every few months ensures long-term performance. Urban Turf Solutions can provide a custom artificial grass maintenance plan to suit your home and lifestyle.
Handling Spills & Stains
Accidents happen, but cleaning them up is easy. Most spills can be washed away with water and a mild detergent. For tougher marks like oil or food, use a soft cloth or sponge — avoid harsh chemicals. Routine spot cleaning prevents damage and keeps your turf looking new.
Pet Turf Cleaning
If you’ve got pets, keeping your turf clean is simple. Hose down the surface to remove odours and debris, then lightly brush the area to lift the fibres. Our lawn maintenance service includes pet-safe cleaning products that neutralise smells without harming your furry friends or the environment.
DIY Maintenance Tips
Homeowners can easily manage fake grass maintenance with the right tools. Use a plastic rake or brush to remove leaves, and rinse occasionally to wash away dust. DIY is ideal for general upkeep, but we recommend a professional refresh once or twice a year for the best results.
Moss & Algae Prevention
Shaded or damp areas can develop moss or algae over time. We offer professional spraying services to keep these under control. For DIY, use a mild moss treatment that’s turf-safe and apply as needed. Preventative care protects your lawn’s appearance and keeps it safe to walk on all year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I maintain my artificial grass?
We recommend light artificial grass maintenance every few weeks, including brushing and rinsing to remove dust and debris. Every few months, a deeper clean helps keep your turf looking fresh and performing well. Regular care prevents matting, improves drainage, and extends the lifespan of your lawn, keeping it lush year-round.
Can I handle fake grass maintenance myself?
Yes — DIY is great for general upkeep. You can remove leaves with a plastic rake, rinse the turf to wash away dirt, and brush the fibres upright. For stubborn stains or moss build-up, it’s best to call our professional team. We offer easy guidance for safe DIY lawn maintenance at home.
How do I clean up spills or stains on my turf?
Most spills can be cleaned using warm water and mild detergent. Simply blot the area with a soft cloth and rinse. Avoid strong chemicals or high-pressure hoses, which may damage fibres. Regular attention to small stains is an important part of fake grass maintenance, keeping your lawn spotless and safe.
What should I do about leaves and debris on my lawn?
Use a plastic rake, leaf blower, or broom to remove leaves, twigs, and debris. Regular sweeping or brushing prevents build-up, helping your turf stay clean and the fibres stand upright. This small effort goes a long way in keeping your artificial grass maintenance routine simple and effective.
How do you remove moss or algae from artificial grass?
If your lawn sits in a shaded or damp area, moss and algae can form over time. We recommend a gentle, turf-safe moss treatment or professional spraying service. Our artificial grass repair and cleaning team can treat the surface and restore your lawn’s appearance without damaging the fibres.
Is artificial grass maintenance safe for pets?
Yes — our turf and cleaning methods are completely pet-safe. For households with dogs, simply hose down the area regularly to remove odours and debris. We can also recommend pet-friendly cleaning products that won’t harm animals or the environment. Pet care is an important part of our lawn maintenance service.
When should I call a professional for turf maintenance?
You can handle light cleaning yourself, but professional servicing is best once or twice a year. Our experts provide deep cleaning, infill checks, and artificial grass repair to fix worn or compacted areas. It’s especially useful after heavy use or bad weather to keep your turf performing at its best.
What if my artificial grass gets damaged?
If your turf develops a tear, burn mark, or worn patch, don’t worry. Our artificial grass repair service can come and assess the damage and repair where we can, try and match if possible or replace if necessary.
Does artificial grass need watering?
Only for cleaning purposes. Artificial grass doesn’t need watering for growth, but a quick rinse now and then helps remove dust, pollen, or pet residues. In dry months, this light rinse keeps your lawn cooler and brighter — part of simple fake grass maintenance that makes it look freshly laid.
Can I use regular lawn care products on artificial grass?
No — standard lawn fertilisers and weed sprays are made for natural grass and can damage synthetic turf. Always use turf-safe cleaners or mild solutions. Our team can recommend the right products and guide you through proper artificial grass maintenance to protect your investment and keep it looking perfect.
