surface clean. Consider use of products such as Simple Green or Nature’s Miracle that are pet
safe. Depending on the amount of usage and number of dogs, enzyme neutralizers may also
be helpful to control odors. Neutralize with mixture of white distilled vinegar in an equal
amount of water. Flush thoroughly with water after application.
D. Mineral Deposits
Apply a mixture of white distilled vinegar in an equal amount of water to grass and lightly
brush. Flush thoroughly with water after application.
E. Chewing gum or Tree Sap
In addition to dry cleaning fluid, chewing gum and tree sap can be removed by freezing.
Aerosol packs of refrigerant are available from most carpet cleaning suppliers for this
purpose, or dry ice can be used. After freezing, scrape with a knife.
F. Fungus or mold spots
A one (1) percent solution of hydrogen peroxide in water can be sponged on to the affected
area. Flush thoroughly with clean water after application.
G. Oil paints and more difficult stains
Please consult your Home Depot associate as these may require a commercial carpet cleaner.
Caution! Do not use high-pressure water spray with stream force in excess of 300 psi as
this can severely damage the turf.
Brushing
II. PERIODIC BRUSHING
The frequency for suggested brushing is directly related to the amount of foot traffic you have in
your turf area. Matting of fibers may occur in areas of high foot traffic, especially if fibers have
become soiled with dirt and other airborne pollutants.
Periodic “cross brushing” of the turf with a Grandi Groomer rake can help restore the aesthetic
appearance of the turf. “Cross brushing” means all brushing activity takes place against the grain,
nap, or sweep of the turf fibers. By brushing against the turf, the fibers are “fluffed up”. A brush
with synthetic bristles should be used. The use of a Grandi Groomer is highly recommended.
Caution! Never use a brush with metal or wire bristles as these will change the turf
fibers.
Take note to heavier trafficked areas for matting of fibers that might appear different than other
areas that do not see heavy traffic. Brushing these areas is highly recommended, as it will ensure
the full life of your AstroLawn

. Brushing with a carpet rake or nylon bristle broom cannot hurt
the turf, so brush as often as needed, again keeping in mind that the more traffic, the more
frequent the brushing.
