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.
