Maintenance
Artificial turf systems must be properly maintained in order to keep the surface in good playing condition. Maintenance helps to avoid degradation of heavily used areas, infill compaction and is generally required per a manufacturer's warranty. Neglecting maintenance or minor repairs can lead to more serious problems with continued use. Keeping the surface clean of debris is best. Also, the most common method of maintenance is using a nylon or polyolefin brush. The amount of periodic maintenance, brushing methods and solutions for specific issues such as snow/ice removal, oil spillage, etc. can be provided by the artificial turf manufacturer. It is important to keep a maintenance log to track the performed maintenance.

“... in the fierce competition of modern society the only class left in the country possessing leisure is that of women supported in easy circumstances by husband or father, and it is to this class we must look for the maintenance of cultivated and refined tastes, for that value and pursuit of knowledge and of art for their own sakes which can alone save society from degenerating into a huge machine for making money, and gratifying the love of sensual luxury.”
