Caring for Your New Artificial Turf
Thank you again for trusting Cornerstone Turf with your project! Your new lawn is built for beauty and durability, and with just a little regular care, it will stay fresh and functional for years to come.
Below are a few simple guidelines to help you keep it in top shape:
Routine Maintenance
-
Use a plastic rake or leaf blower to remove leaves and debris.
-
A stiff-bristled push broom works great to keep the turf blades standing tall.
-
Occasionally brush against the grain to maintain a natural look.
Pet Guidelines
-
Remove solid waste regularly.
-
Rinse liquid waste every 1–2 weeks with a hose.
-
For added freshness, try an enzyme-based deodorizer like this:

Weed Control
-
Pull weeds by hand at the base as soon as you spot them.
-
A light application of non-oil-based weed spray is safe for artificial grass.
Cleaning Tips
-
Most spills can be rinsed off with water.
-
For tough spots, use mild soap or a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar.
-
Avoid using oil-based or harsh chemical cleaners.
Odor Control
-
Your turf features antimicrobial infill (Envirofill) for long-term freshness.
-
For additional odor control, rinse with water or use an enzyme spray.
Fire Safety
-
Artificial turf isn’t flammable but it can melt. Please avoid:
-
Fire pits, grills, or fireworks
-
Cigarettes or sparklers
-
Glass tables or reflective objects that could magnify sunlight (especially near Low-E windows)
Furniture Tips
-
Avoid leaving heavy objects in one spot for extended periods.
-
If blades get flattened, brush them back against the grain to revive.
-
Keep reflective items off the turf to prevent heat damage.
