How to maintain artificial grass for the rainy season

Is your artificial grass ready for the rainy season? No worries! We’ll ensure your lawn will remain perfect amidst the upcoming rain that is soon to hit Perth. Read these tips below.

Benefits of Artificial Grass for the Rainy Season

If you think that artificial grass is only good for the summer season, then you are wrong. Artificial grass is perfect even for the rainy season as it displays the following features:

Water permeable

It is designed so rainwater will safely seep through the perforated grass flooring. This ensures that you don’t have to worry about potholes that destroy the aesthetics

No standing water

Mosquito born diseases have always been a problem for Western Australia. This includes dengue and malaria with symptoms such as:

  • skin rashes
  • painful or swollen joints
  • sore muscles
  • flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, headache)
  • tiredness or weakness

With synthetic grass, you don’t have to worry about this as the permeability of the artificial grass design allows water to effectively seep through the drainage. You just need to ensure your drainage system is working perfectly.

Not slippery when wet

Your kids can play under the rain without you worrying about them getting hurt because this grass is not slippery even when wet. Now you and your family can dance and enjoy the rainy season anytime you want to.

How about mud?

No mud will enter your home with artificial lawns. So do enjoy the rainy season and have fun with your kids.

How to maintain artificial grass during the rainy season

Let the rain do the washing

Take advantage of this opportunity for the rain to do the cleaning for you. Let it wash the impurities and run the dirt off naturally. In this manner, you’ll have big water savings with zero maintenance. Isn’t that lovely?

Brush it up as needed

You’ll need to brush up your grass every now and then so it looks real. Otherwise, your grass will look flat because of the constant rain. Just gently brush it up to make it stand up on its own and it will come perfectly again.

Get rid of soggy things

Amidst the power of rain to clean, there is still some stuff that can make your artificial lawn soggy. This includes:

  • bits of food
  • cardboard
  • other things

You can get rid of these by lifting it up off your the lawn then dispose of it. However, for some items, you’ll need to use a blunt knife or similar tool so you can get rid of the object completely.

Items such as chewing gum could get stuck to your lawn. To get rid of these, use soap with warm water or a mixture of water or vinegar to loosen it effectively. Nevertheless, the perfect time is after the rain stops so you can immediately spot it.
