Artificial grass has become a popular trend for homeowners, and its popularity is driven by its versatility and low-maintenance appeal. While the garden is the first place you’ll spot the benefits of artificial turf, indoor applications are quickly gaining momentum too.
Apartments, offices, retail stores, and pet-friendly homes are just a few places indoor artificial grass thrives. Along with being comfortable underfoot for play areas and pet zones, it also creates a natural look indoor area that’s easy to clean.
However, while a quick brush and rinse with the hose pipe is all you need to freshen up the synthetic turf installed in your garden, you may be wondering whether the same applies for artificial grass installed indoors?
We’re sharing a few maintenance tips to ensure your indoor artificial grass remains in tip-top shape for years to come!
Regular Vacuum or Sweeping
Similar to debris and dust building up on your outdoor artificial lawn, your indoor lawn will have a similar problem. While it might sound strange, sweeping or vacuuming artificial grass indoors can help lift dust, crumbs and other debris that accumulate surprisingly quickly. However, it’s important to note that you may need to top up the silica sand infill over time, as vacuuming can remove some of the sand that helps weigh down the grass and keep the fibres upright.
Brush Fibres Occasionally
Giving your artificial turf a quick brush helps prevent your artificial grass blades from matting and becoming flat. Use a soft-bristled brush and make sure you brush in the opposite direction to help your turf maintain its thickness, traction, and natural look.
Use a Mild Cleaning Solution
Whether you’ve spilled a glass of wine or the kids have been making a mess, a simple way to get your artificial grass looking and smelling good again is to soak up any excess liquid and then clean it with water and mild dish soap. Mild dish soap can help lift away and break down various types of stains such as food, beverages and other organic matter. Use a soft-bristled broom and a mixture of water and mild dish soap to gently scrub away any dirt and grime.
Dealing with Pet Waste
Your pets will love artificial grass, but may love a little too much, especially when it comes to potty breaks. Easi-pet is one of the best pet-friendly artificial grass solutions, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t roll it up and take it outside to give it a good rinse every once in a while. The introduction of our bio enzyme spray is a great way to help with pet decomposition and aid in minimising smells that come with their favourite bathroom spots. Use Easi-pong at least once a month and top it up as often as you like with our Easi-Fresh spray to ensure your indoor artificial grass smells fresh.
Avoid Heavy Furniture
While artificial grass is incredibly resilient, it’s still best to avoid placing heavy furniture on your turf for long periods of time as it may flatten fibres. If you really want to add furniture to spruce up your space, it’s best to move items occasionally or use protective pads where necessary.
Transform Your Space With Artificial Grass
Whether you’re looking to transform your balcony into a mini oasis or indoor space into a pet paradise, artificial grass provides the perfect, low-maintenance solution. With regular brushing, occasional cleaning, and a little upkeep, your indoor artificial grass can continue to look its best for years to come.
