How To Clean Artificial Grass In 2024?

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

Which solution is the one that smells like grass? I was having a little trouble locating on Amazon! Also, how do you keep the weeds out? Thank you! This is something we are needing to tackle this Summer, so even after two years this video is so so helpful! THANK YOU AGAIN!

[@KirbsideCleaning]

I. Think prokleen do a fresh cut grass scent but it isn’t true to life! The lavender one is lovely. Pull the weeds by hand and then mix a little industrial weed killer into your cleaning solution and apply every month or so to keep them at bay

[@deechaddah2557]

Really good job..I have a question..I have the same power brush but I have to pull it towards me and walk backwards to clean the grass but you are pushing it forwards...how?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Yeh I started off that way but a local chap was the other way, you just undo the transmission and turn it round and tighten it back up, super simple! Takes about 5 minutes and there’s a video on KZbin, manufacturers actually recommend certain direction for certain attachments

[@deechaddah2557]

Thats awesome, what way you think is easier...pushing it forwards or walking backwards?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

@@deechaddah2557 I recon pulling towards is easier on the arms

[@flashy158]

I have just bought one of these before seeing your video, hope they are a decent machine.

[@KirbsideCleaning]

If it’s the same one I have it’s great!

[@isaiahraymond2449]

Where did you get the machine brush at? And what is the company make?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Hey! The machine is a Stihl multi tool you’ll need to buy the wheels, brush and body separately 😊

Hello mate what ratio do you use when filling the packpack?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

I think it’s 4:1 whatever it advises on the bottle for this one 👍

[@garethpollard8555]

@@KirbsideCleaning Nice one mate. I'll have a look.

[@JoseRios-no1nq]

Clean job! 👍🏼 What is the typical price that would be charged for this type of service?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

We charge £20+£1 per square meter on most domestic grass - commercial is slightly different based on size

[@billmustafa6427]

Hi great video, im uk based, in your opinion what is better for 100 m² area to pick up Debris etc, a wet and dry vac or a electrical mower type machine? Great video by the way!!🇬🇧

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Never used the electric type mower style machine but they look good. I also offer gutter clearing so made sense to use the vac rather than buying another bit of kit.

[@davidlpeterson6275]

In the states, we use infill (1.5 to 2 pounds per square feet). Do they use infill in England? I would think you would vacuum it up if you used your wet/dry and the homeowner used infill. Great video.

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Hi David, I’m not 100% hot on how they lay artificial grass, but I know I have had some clients say can I do this for them. This particular client actually laid the grass himself and didn’t use any, it’s actually laid on MDF board 😅😂 but he’s having it replaced!

[@nathanschwartz5568]

Hi, awesome video! What is the name for the vacuum that you used?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

It’s a skyvac might atom that I use mainly for gutter vacuuming - i wouldn’t recommend one for at home grass cleaning as they are about £600 but any wet and dry vac will do 👌

[@nathanschwartz5568]

@@KirbsideCleaning thank you

[@jasonerickson7253]

Are customers typically fine with plugging into their outlet to run tools?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

100%. I do always mention it when I book them in but never had anyone disagree. You can get away with just collecting the debris without a hoover, obviously won’t be as good but can get the job done

[@coletroske108]

Are you using the field king backpack sprayer?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Not sure dude, got it from local hardware store - it’s long since broken and hasn’t been replaced 😩

[@Dragon-di1zg]

How do you get rid of moss growing the artificial grass?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Clean it and treat it. A bleach solution can also help with the initial removal, but you have to keep ontop of it. If you are getting moss it’s probably been laid incorrectly

[@27paczek]

good job!!!!! what do you use to clean it ??? and maybe add a nice smell to it ? thx

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Hey! If you look in the description there is a link for all the products I use. The one you want is the cleaning solution, it’s a sanitiser and deodoriser so it kills any bacteria and leave a nice smell once applied 😄 I hope this helps 🏡🏡🏡

[@sidmichael1158]

Is there a way to do this without that machine?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Hey Sid, yes you can do it just with a hard bristled broom but your arms will not thank you for it!

[@ashlynmckinley8055]

can you give a list of these products please

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Should be in the description for you dude. If you have any specific questions feel free to email me at [e-mail]

Is that a stihl powerbroom?

It is indeed broski

[@JoseAlonsoCardenas]

What is that brush machine called?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Hi Jose, it’s called a power broom or brush, my one is made by Stihl but there are a few different brands out there 🙂

[@JoseAlonsoCardenas]

@@KirbsideCleaning thank you for your quick response. Great work.

[@TheBoxsMan]

does this power broom work with dust, I mean heavy dusty grass ?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Hey, yes it does it’s a great bit of kit, I’m actually currently one a really dusty grass clean now and all I’d recommend is that you frequently stop to hoover the piles as any bit of wind and the go everywhere!!

[@Mandy_Songwriter95]

What is the best piece of equipment, for falling tree parts, small twigs etc, on artificial grass?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Hi Mandy, I’d defiantly recommend a power broom which is what I use in the video, mine is petrol powered but you can also get electric ones which are cheaper. You can also just use a standard hard bristled broom but you’ll l defiantly feel it the next day! Once you have piled your debris you can either hoover it up, on a dry day you house hoover will usually be just fine if you pick up the larger bits first, or just manually pick up the piles.

[@Mandy_Songwriter95]

@@KirbsideCleaning Yes - I've had enough of the standard bristled broom. And so has my back !!!! Lol Thank you very much for replying to me. I will definitely look into it. I was told the Vacmaster VOC1218PF-01 Artificial Grass Wet & Dry Vacuum Cleaner - 1200W would do the trick. Not sure what you think of that? Stay safe - Mandy

[@KirbsideCleaning]

@@Mandy_Songwriter95 I just looked and it looks like it’ll do the trick! You would get a slightly better result but brooding first as the vacuum won’t get any debris that’s stuck under the pile. But will 100% help massively!

[@curthems5169]

What’s the best way to get burns out of artificial grass? We had a party last year and a firework didn’t launch and has left a massive burnt area. Thanks

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Thanks for the comment Curt! I’d say that in my experience carefully trying to cut away the burnt sections without creating to much of an uneven spot would be your best bet. Unfortunately with artificial grass being a plastic once its burnt there isn’t a way to clean it off. Replacing the spot might alway be a viable option!

[@dieselmex1808]

Add some fertilizer and water

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

Does artificial grass have a pile like carpet? If not, check out a video of a zamboni cleaning the ice, on an ice rink.

[@KirbsideCleaning]

It does indeed, it’s basically outdoor carpet

[@danielcope7929]

Great job. How much roughly would you charge do clean an area that size? Many thanks

[@KirbsideCleaning]

Thank you! This particular job I charge £50 but I do it monthly. If they were on a 3 monthly cycle I’d charge a bit more more like £75

[@lica1598]

Of all the shades of green, why would you use illuminous? Looks sooo fake. Wouldn't real grass be cheaper also?

[@KirbsideCleaning]

The positives to artificial grass are generally they are low maintenance, no need to cut it, water it and it stays the same colour all year round. I have never paid to have fake grass but I don’t think it’s cheap, although over time it would work out cheaper than having real grass in respect to electricity/petrol cutting it and if you choose, water to water it to keep it green. We currently have a hose pipe ban in the UK and everyone’s real grass is brown
