Here are a few synthetic turf maintenance tips to help. Please continue reading.
Pet Stains and Pet Waste
Pets love pet friendly turf. 
The main thing to remember when maintaining your turf is to always keep it clean and free from pet waste that can stain your turf. Pet’s waste and urine can create odors as well as unsightly stains if left too long. The easiest way is too spray down your turf with a hose and rinsing it free from pet waste and urine as you notice it.
Havasu Turf Pros also offers a great way to manage pet smells and odors on synthetic turf. Its an amazing odor destroying, pet concentrate product called Pet Fresh. It is available locally at our store in Lake Havasu or you can call and order by phone.
Managing Weeds In Turf
Weeds are not a huge problem if your turf was installed correctly. But in some cases weeds can be prove to be problematic. If not managed and removed at the first signs of growth, stubborn weeds can grow into and through the turf backing and can clog it from draining properly.
The best way to prevent weeds from growing through your new turf is to keep dead leaves and plant waste from building up on it. For persistent weeds that keep coming back, HTP recommends using a water based weed killer that wont damage your new turf.
Broom It
Another great turf maintenance tip to keep it looking new is to periodically use a push broom to brush it. When brushed every couple of months, your synthetic lawn will retain its beauty year round and always look like it was just installed.
Some people like to use leaf rakes but we recommend not using metal rakes or aluminum landscape rakes because if you’re not careful you could damage or tear the blades on your turf. Another good option is to use a landscape rake that has nylon tines. Nylon tines are easier on turf and will not damage it.
