How to Properly Care for Artificial Lawn: Practical Tools and Advice for a Long Life
What Is the Artificial Grass Cleaner?
The Artificial Grass Cleaner is a cartridge that can be easily used with Swardman lawnmowers. It is compatible with both Edwin and Electra models. This cartridge features springs that gently remove debris from the lawn and help keep it in top condition.
Proper Installation of the Cartridge
Installing the cartridge is easy – just remove the reel, put the new cartridge in and you are ready to go! This video will demonstrate how to do it. The working height should be set so that the springs do not touch the ground. There should be a few millimeters of space between the ground and the spring. This will ensure that the springs do not break, that they last a long time and that the whole cleaning process is very gentle on the lawn.How does the Artificial Grass Cleaner Work?
The cartridge is equipped with long metal springs that are designed to gently but effectively remove dirt from the surface of the artificial lawn. These springs also help to keep the turf in optimal condition by ensuring that the individual fibers of the artificial grass remain upright. Compared to a standard tool (scarifier) for natural grass, this cartridge contains more springs, which are also longer and made of a different material.
Regular Maintenance of Artificial Grass
1. Regular cleaning
Artificial lawns can be prone to dirt build-up, such as leaves, needles, stones, and dust. This debris can adversely affect the appearance of the lawn and shorten its lifespan. Regular cleaning is key to keeping your lawn in perfect condition. Swardman's Artificial Grass Cleaner is the ideal tool to quickly and effectively remove different types of dirt and help maintain your lawn in optimal condition.
2. Fibre maintenance
One of the main aspects of caring for artificial lawns is keeping the fibers upright. If the fibers flatten or start to tangle, this can adversely affect the appearance, functionality, and lifespan of the artificial turf. However, the gentle brushing springs of the Artificial Grass Cleaner gently straighten the individual fibers of the lawn, effectively preventing these problems.
3. Inspection and repairs
Check the lawn on a regular basis for signs of damage or wear. If any problem areas are found, it is important to repair them as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
4. Snow and ice removal
Remove snow and ice carefully during the winter months to avoid damage to the lawn. Use plastic rakes instead of metal tools.5. Prevention and protection
Minimize long-term exposure of the lawn to extreme sun and heavy loads. Even artificial grass needs time to "regenerate".Key Advantages of the Artificial Grass Cleaner
