Artificial turf is low-maintenance, but not immune to stains. The faster you react, the easier a stain is to remove.
Typical Stains and How to Treat Them
- Drinks, fruit, ice cream: wash out with water and mild dish soap, then rinse.
- Grease and oil: dab off excess grease, then treat with warm water and dish soap.
- Chewing gum: freeze with ice and carefully lift off.
- Pet urine: rinse thoroughly; if necessary, use an enzymatic cleaner – see Artificial Turf and Dogs.
What You Should Avoid
Solvents, chlorine, and acids can damage the fibers and backing. Test cleaners first on an inconspicuous area and brush the blades back up afterwards. Further tips can be found in the guide Cleaning Artificial Turf.
