Artificial Grass Brooms

An artificial grass broom should be in the arsenal of anyone that wants to keep their synthetic lawn looking good all season long. Any home owner that cares about how their yards looks, knows that leaves and other debris inevitably end up on the lawn. It's no different with artificial grass and in addition to impressing the neighbours year round, you'll be reducing the likelihood of weeds and other organics taking hold and growing in your artificial grass. We are going to go over the best artificial grass brooms on the market today and explain why they shouldn't be overlooked as part of your synthetic grass maintenance equipment toolbox. 

With the steady growth of artificial grass lawns in Canada and the United States its leading to a transition in how homeowners think about lawn maintenance. With a traditional and dated natural grass lawn you typically need to carry out a number of mundane tasks just to keep it looking reasonably attractive, lush and green. With artificial grass you should only need to clean with a broom or lawn rake occasionally especially if you have pets. If you don't have pets an artificial grass broom should do the trick throughout the summer months either as a spot cleaner or to bloom the grass up so it looks its best.

What Broom to Use on Artificial Grass?

Are you are wondering what broom to use on artificial grass? If you've read through our list of the best artificial grass brooms and still have questions, hopefully this next bit of information helps. There are a few variables that you need to keep in mind when choosing a broom for synthetic grass which are even more important if you are going to be doing your own artificial grass maintenance every year. 

• No metal. A quality artificial grass can handle a lot of wear including brushing with stiff plastic bristles. An artificial grass broom should never have metal parts either in the form of tongs or spikes because they could damage the backing of the grass.

• Grass blade length. Often overlooked, are the varying lengths of grass. While a putting green can be effectively cleaned with a short nylon broom, nylon isn't ideal for cleaning or brooming long artificial grass with blades over 1 1/2 in. Try to find a synthetic grass push broom with bristles or teeth that matches or exceed the length of the grass.

• Light weight. A light weight artificial grass broom is perfect for spot cleaning by anyone in the household and it also makes it practical for blooming larger areas without getting fatigued. 
  

• Pets or no pets. A yard with pets will inevitably end up with more debris including organics on the grass that can cause problems down the road, namely; odours and bacteria. It's recommended that you use an enzyme cleaner and power broom at least once a year to kill organisms and keep the grass clean.
