Artificial grass is a great way to add greenery to a balcony without the hassle of real plants. However, artificial turf still requires occasional cleaning to look its best and prevent buildup of dirt, debris and stains over time. Follow these steps to properly clean your balcony’s artificial grass:
Cleaning Frequency
Inspect and clean the artificial grass every 2-4 weeks. Clean immediately after spills or shedding season to prevent staining. More frequent light cleaning is better than infrequent deep cleaning.
Supplies
Gather a soft broom, hose or pressure washer if accessible, mild soap and scrub brush, and clean towels. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage or discolor the grass fibers.
Cleaning Steps
1. Use a soft broom to lightly brush the entire area, removing surface dust and debris. Sweep over the grain to dislodge particles.
2. Rinse the artificial grass with a gentle stream of water from a hose or pressure washer if available. This clears away dirt from deep in the grass pile.
3. For stubborn stains, make a mild soap solution and use a scrub brush to gently clean the area, then rinse.
4. Blot excess water with clean, dry towels so the grass dries quickly. Air dry completely.
5. Fluff the grass fibers with a broom once dry to restore a lush look.
Tips
– Immediately clean food, drink and pet stains before they set.
– Rotate areas of high foot traffic to evenly distribute wear.
– Deep clean annually with a pressure washer to revitalize the entire area.
With light, frequent cleaning, artificial grass on a balcony stays fresh and vibrant, maintaining its beauty without requiring replacement.
