Frequently Asked Questions - Maintenance

A common mistake is to assume that synthetic turf does not require maintenance. It does. However, this is minimal compared to the amount of work required to sustain a natural turf pitch.  Weekly maintenance would include brushing the fibre up, clearing the area of leaves and litter. Depending upon the type of surface and the amount of use, more vigorous work is required, normally from specialists in maintenance, to remove contamination and de-compact the infill on a regular basis. Details on maintenance are available from manufacturers.

Contact your installer or maintenance company who can carry out a repair. The longer time the seam is split, the harder it will become to make an invisible repair.

During installation of the surface, additional playing lines can be cut into the surface. For temporary lines, a paint recommended by the surface supplier may be used. However, paints do not stay permanently on polypropylene or polyethylene surfaces.
