Non-infill artificial turf is increasingly favored for sports fields and landscaping due to its filler-free design and low maintenance needs. However, scientific cleaning and proper upkeep are still essential to ensure long-term durability and optimal performance. This guide outlines practical cleaning and maintenance strategies tailored to VivaTurf’s advanced non-infill turf systems.
1. Routine Cleaning: The Foundation of Turf Longevity
(1) Debris Removal
Perform regular cleaning (daily or weekly) using soft-bristle brooms, vacuum cleaners, or blowers to remove leaves, dust, and litter from the surface. For larger debris such as branches or rocks, remove them manually using gloves to avoid damaging the fibers.
VivaTurf’s non-infill systems feature enhanced anti-stain surfaces, making cleaning easier than standard turf. Most surface debris can be cleared with minimal effort. Lightweight debris can be quickly removed with air blowers to improve efficiency on large fields.
(2) Stain Treatment
For water-soluble stains like juice, coffee, or mud, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water, then blot dry using absorbent cloths or vacuum systems.
For tougher stains—such as oil, tar, or paint—use VivaTurf’s specially formulated turf cleaner. This eco-friendly solution is safe for synthetic fibers while effectively breaking down stains.
Recommended steps:
Dilute the cleaner as instructed.
Apply directly to the stain.
Let sit for 5–10 minutes.
Gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
For large areas, pressure washers can be used, but water pressure should be controlled to avoid damaging the turf structure.
2. Deep Maintenance: Enhance Performance and Extend Life
(1) Fiber Brushing
Over time, turf fibers may lay flat due to usage. Use fiber grooming machines or soft brushes to realign the turf blades. This restores a natural upright look and improves surface consistency, especially after heavy use or sporting events.
VivaTurf’s Air-Dressing™ fiber structure ensures superior resilience and vertical recovery, but monthly brushing is still recommended to maintain peak appearance and performance.
(2) Disinfection and Deodorizing
In humid areas or zones frequented by pets, bacterial growth or odor may occur. Use VivaTurf’s eco-friendly disinfectant and deodorizer, designed to eliminate germs and neutralize odors without harming the turf.
Apply evenly across the turf and allow sunlight exposure when possible. A quarterly full-surface treatment is advised for optimal hygiene, especially for schools, playgrounds, and public-use fields.
(3) Inspection and Repairs
Every 6–12 months, inspect the field thoroughly:
Are seams secure?
Are turf edges lifting?
Is the backing intact?
For seam separation, reapply VivaTurf’s proprietary adhesive. For edge issues, re-secure or replace trimming strips. If backing damage is found, contact VivaTurf’s certified service team for professional repairs. VivaTurf provides expert post-installation support to ensure long-term field performance.
