HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR TURF IN THE SUMMER

 

As the summer heat keeps things sizzling, it's time to ensure your turf is ready for all the fun and festivities ahead. Let's dive into some cool tips to keep your turf in tip-top shape for your friends and family all summer long!

1. Banish Odors: Freshen Up Your Turf

Summer heat can intensify odors in artificial turf, but don't worry - we've got you covered:

  • Beat "heat stink": Spot-apply cleaners and deodorizers specifically designed for synthetic turf, like OxyTurf, to eliminate odor-causing bacteria - the usual culprits behind those foul smells.
  • Say "No" to enzymes: Traditional enzyme-based cleaners aren't your best bet for artificial turf - they only mask odors. 
  • Go for a truly clean machine: Products like OxyTurf eliminate the stinky bacteria at the source. The result? A fresh and hygienic turf that's ready for action.

2. Wage War on Weeds: Keep It Green & Clean

Don't let unwanted guests crash your turf party. Here's how to keep your lawn weed-free:

  • Choose safe herbicide heroes: Use turf-friendly herbicides like the all-new OxyTurf X to show weeds the exit. These all-natural weed control solutions maintain both the aesthetic and functional integrity of your synthetic turf.
  • Engage in hand-to-hand combat: Regularly remove any sprouts by hand to prevent them from establishing roots and taking over.
  • Go au naturel: Natural herbicides provide a safe alternative for the environment and your loved ones. They also reduce the risk of damaging your turf!

3. Debris Be Gone: No Leaf Left Behind

Keep your turf clean and clear with these simple steps:

  • Blow it away: Regularly remove leaves, twigs, and other debris with a leaf blower.
  • Brush it off: Alternatively, a gentle, plastic-bristled broom is great for removing debris without damaging the turf fibers.
  • Prevent mold: Keeping your turf clean is like giving mold and drainage issues the cold shoulder - they won't be able to damage the integrity of your beautiful lawn!

4. Deep Clean Dream: "Me Day" for Your Turf

Every now and then, your turf deserves some extra TLC:

  • Monthly makeover: Treat your turf to a deep clean once a month. Think of it as a facial, but for your lawn! Perform a thorough cleaning using OxyTurf.
  • Bristle power: Finish off your cleaning with a nice brushing to agitate fibers and lift any compacted debris. This can rejuvenate the appearance of your turf and ensure even wear.
  • Turf longevity: Regular deep cleans keep your turf looking young and fabulous for years to come.

Remember, a happy turf means endless summer fun! By following these simple steps, you'll ensure your artificial lawn stays fresh, clean, and ready for all your summer activities.
