Though you can hold sports games during this period, however, we strongly recommend you keep any heavy machine or vehicle away from the pitch, and make the cleaning time as less as possible, especially never clear the turf in hot weather. Additionally, varying from natural grass, artificial grass usually needs several weeks using and weathering for its best sports performance. During this period, you need not only keep fiber stable, but proper granule infilling in order to keep a long term for comfort and superiority application.

Rain is the best cleaner, it can easily remove the dust, farina or other pollutant from fiber. However, cleaning in time is necessary for artificial turf pitch. You should always avoid problems bellow:

1. Place enough trash cans lest the garbage spillover.

The cleaner would work well when the brush is just meet the top of fibers. Never set brush too long, as it can get in the infilling and damage fibers and rubber granule. We never recommend any client sweeping soil with brush cleaner.
