How Do Professionals Clean Artificial Grass?

Artificial grass is a fantastic low-maintenance alternative to natural lawns, but like anything exposed to the elements, it still needs regular cleaning to stay fresh and hygienic. Over time, dirt, debris, and even moss or algae can build up, affecting both its appearance and drainage. That’s where professional cleaning comes in.

Here’s how experts ensure your artificial lawn stays in top condition:

1. Power Brushing to Lift Debris and Refresh the Pile

A key piece of equipment used by professionals is a mechanical brush, also known as a power broom or power brush. This motorised tool has rotating bristles that dig deep into the turf, lifting the pile while loosening trapped dirt, leaves, pet hair, and other debris. Not only does this remove compacted grime, but it also restores the grass to a more natural, upright position.

2. Specialist Vacuuming for a Thorough Clean

Once the power brushing process has brought debris to the surface, a specialist sweeper vacuum designed for artificial grass is used to collect and remove everything, ensuring no loose dirt is left behind. Unlike a regular garden vacuum, these machines are built to handle artificial grass without damaging the fibres or affecting the infill.

3. Deep Cleaning with a Solution-Fed Rotary Machine

For a more intensive clean, professionals use a solution-fed rotary machine with soft bristles. This advanced equipment applies a specially formulated cleaning solution while gently scrubbing each individual blade of grass. It’s highly effective at removing stubborn grime, neutralising pet odours, and eliminating bacteria—leaving your artificial lawn looking and smelling fresh.

Why Professional Cleaning is Essential

Even in the UK, where artificial grass doesn’t face extreme weather like scorching sun or heavy snow, it still requires proper upkeep. Regular professional cleaning helps to:
✅ Restore the natural look of your lawn
✅ Remove dirt, dust, and pet waste residues
✅ Prevent moss, algae, and bacteria build-up
✅ Maintain proper drainage and longevity

Whether it’s a garden, a commercial space, or a sports pitch, keeping your artificial grass professionally cleaned ensures it stays safe, hygienic, and looking its best all year round—rain or shine.
