Non-infill artificial turf has become increasingly popular in home gardens, community spaces, and kindergartens—especially where hygiene and easy maintenance are top priorities. Unlike traditional infill systems that trap dirt and bacteria between rubber granules, non-infill turf combines advanced materials with straightforward cleaning practices to deliver a cleaner, safer, and more user-friendly experience. Its hygiene protection system can be understood across three key dimensions: anti-soiling material properties, effortless daily cleaning, and effective deep-cleaning strategies.
1. Material Advantages: Built-in Resistance to Dirt and Stains
The hygiene benefits of non-infill turf start with its structure and material composition, which minimize dirt accumulation at the source.
No loose granules, no hidden dirt pockets
Traditional infill turf uses rubber granules and sand, creating gaps where dust, food residue, and pet waste can lodge and breed bacteria. Non-infill turf, by contrast, adopts a high-density fiber + integrated shock pad design, with up to 18,000–22,000 tufts per ㎡. This eliminates “dead zones” for dirt, ensuring contaminants stay on the surface and are easy to remove.Stain-resistant fibers
Most non-infill systems use modified PE (polyethylene) or PP (polypropylene) fibers, often enhanced with anti-soiling coatings. These materials are smooth, hydrophobic, and resistant to adhesion. Rainwater and spills slide off quickly without penetrating the fibers. Mud, dust, and pet hair detach easily with wind or light sweeping. Even sticky substances like gum or oil stains can be removed with mild cleaning agents, leaving no residue.
2. Daily Cleaning: Simple Routines, No Special Equipment
Maintaining a clean surface requires only basic tools and minimal effort—perfect for families, schools, and community settings.
Dry debris: Sweep leaves, dust, and pet hair once or twice a week using a soft-bristle broom (to avoid scratching fibers). For larger areas, a small vacuum with adjustable suction works well to lift fine particles lodged between tufts.
Wet spills: Clear water dries naturally, but colored drinks or pet urine should be rinsed within one hour. Use a garden hose or pressure washer set to 0.3–0.5 MPa, directing water along the fiber direction toward drains. For light stains, a diluted neutral detergent can be applied and rinsed away without damaging the fibers.
Special messes: For gum or adhesives, apply ice until hardened, then lift with a plastic scraper. Pet waste should be scooped with a shovel, followed by rinsing and, if necessary, spraying a pet-safe disinfectant. Such spot treatments only need to be performed occasionally.
3. Deep Cleaning: Extending Turf Lifespan and Safety
Every 3–6 months, a deeper cleaning ensures long-term hygiene and durability.
Disinfection: Particularly in humid seasons or high-traffic areas, apply a neutral disinfectant (e.g., diluted sodium hypochlorite ≤500 mg/L), leave for 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This effectively eliminates E. coli, staphylococcus, and other common bacteria.
Drainage checks: The turf system typically includes a drainage layer beneath the shock pad. Ensure drains remain unclogged and flush with water if needed. Poor drainage can cause standing water, leading to mold, mosquito breeding, and reduced turf performance.
Vivaturf: Raising the Bar for Hygiene and Maintenance
As a trusted leader in non-infill turf, Vivaturf enhances hygiene from both material design and user support:
Advanced stain resistance + superior drainage
Vivaturf fibers use a triple-layer PE composite with 30% smoother surfaces for easier cleaning. Its TPE shock pad achieves a drainage rate of up to 20 L/(㎡·min), ensuring rapid runoff of rainwater and cleaning water. Even juice spills or snack crumbs from children can be cleaned in minutes with a simple rinse.Practical cleaning guides + after-sales support
Each Vivaturf installation comes with a maintenance manual detailing cleaning procedures, recommended tools, and care tips (e.g., avoiding harsh chemicals). For unique cases, users can consult Vivaturf’s service team for tailored advice. By May 2024, Vivaturf had already supported over 500 schools and communities nationwide, consistently earning feedback for “easy cleaning and dependable hygiene.”
Choosing Vivaturf non-infill turf means more than year-round greenery—it guarantees a cleaner, safer, and worry-free green space for families and communities alike.
