Brushing Your Grass
Remove debris (e.g. leaves) with a power-brusher, leaf flower or plasticrake.
Brush your grass upwards (against the pile) with a stiff brush or plastic raketo remove seeds dropped by seeds. This prevents seeds germinating andleading to weeds growing on the surface of the grass.
Straighten the fibres of your grass by brushing against the pile using a stiffbrush. Flattening of the fibres may occur in areas of high foot-traffic,especially if fibres have become soiled with dirt and other airbornepollutants.
Periodically ‘cross-brush’, meaning brushing against the grain of the turffibres to restore the aesthetic appearance of the turf.
Always use a brush with synthetic bristles & avoid using a brush with metalbristles.
2. Caring For Your Grass
Remove any weeds immediately to prevent dispersal of seeds.
Treat lightly-soiled areas with a 5% solution of household detergent in hotwater (not boiling), followed by a thorough rinsing with hot water.
Remove any solids or pastes with a spatula or table knife.
