Our Turf Cleaning Process
Step-by-Step Care to Refresh, Sanitize, and Revitalize Your Artificial Lawn
1.
Debris, Leaf, and Pet Refuse Removal
Process: Our cleaning begins with a thorough surface removal of leaves, twigs, pet refuse, and any unwanted debris. We also check for and remove items that could block drainage or create odors, such as hair buildup, dirt clumps, or small litter.
Benefits:
-
Keeps your turf safe and comfortable for pets to play on.
-
Prevents bacteria and mold growth caused by trapped organic materials.
-
Improves drainage and air circulation beneath the turf layer.
2.
Enzyme Cleaning and Deodorizer
Process: We apply a professional-grade, pet-safe enzyme spray designed to naturally break down organic waste such as urine, sweat, and bacteria. The enzymes digest these residues at the molecular level.
Benefits:
-
Kills bacteria, germs, and allergens for a cleaner environment.
-
Completely safe for pets and kids—non-toxic, biodegradable, and residue-free.
3.
Wash + Rake
Process: A gentle pressure wash is used to flush out loosened dirt and activate the enzyme cleaner deep within the turf fibers. We use a specific hose for high volume and low pressure so we don't damage the turf. After rinsing, a fine rake is used to stand turf blades upright.
Benefits:
-
Refreshes turf color and texture by removing surface grime.
-
Helps enzymes penetrate deeper into the backing layer for full sanitation.
-
Reduces bacteria growth in warm weather.
4.
Deep Enzyme Sanitizing with Infill
Process: We apply a second enzyme layer, followed by a deep mechanical scrub that agitates built up dirt in the the turf bristles and backing. Additionally, we apply a fresh infill topper treated with antimicrobial protection that will prevent future bacteria growth. The infill will stop urine smell upon contact.
​
Benefits:
-
Removes any deep-set bacteria, dander, or odor.
-
Restores infill balance for proper drainage and odor control.
-
Prevents bacterial regrowth and acidic urine buildup from pet urine.
-
Reinforces turf fibers, helping them resist matting and extend their life span.
5.
Power Brooming + Power Brushing to Revitalize Turf
Process: Two professional-grade machines are used in this stage. The power broom lifts matted turf blades, while the power brush realigns fibers and spreads infill evenly. The combination mimics how the turf looked right after installation.
Benefits:
-
Extends the overall lifespan and appearance of the turf.
-
Restores a soft, plush feel and natural standing position of turf blades.
-
Improves infill distribution for balanced drainage and shock absorption.
-
Reduces wear patterns in high-traffic or pet play areas.
6.
New Scent Placement
Process: To complete the refresh, we apply Turf Buff’s Pet-Friendly Re-Scent Formula—available in four calming natural scents like Jasmine, Rose, Lavender, or Fresh Cut Grass. These are gentle, plant-based aromas that bond to the turf fibers without leaving residue.
Benefits:
-
Leaves your outdoor space smelling clean, fresh, and inviting.
-
Naturally deters pests and insects with botanical oils.
-
Completes the cleaning process with a rejuvenated, “like-new” experience.
