Flattened pile
Foot traffic and pets press the fibres down until the lawn looks matted. We used a power brushing machine across the whole lawn to lift the pile back up so it looks and feels like new grass again.

Where we started
The brief
Joanna's garden in Putney has a long artificial lawn running between hedges and mature olive trees. After plenty of use by dogs, the pile had flattened, the lawn looked dull and patchy, and there was a lingering smell from dog urine and poo.
The lawn itself was sound, so it did not need replacing. It needed a proper deep clean: lifting the pile, washing out the dirt and treating the smell at the source. That is exactly what our artificial grass cleaning in Putney service is for.
The tricky parts
What a full refresh involves
Step by step
How we built it
Power brushing
A power brushing machine was run over the whole lawn to lift the flattened pile and loosen the debris caught in the fibres.
Jet washing
The lawn was jet washed from end to end to flush out dirt, dust and loosened debris and bring back the colour.
Odour treatment
Professional products were applied to remove the smell of dog urine and poo from the grass and backing.
The finished lawn
With the pile lifted, the dirt washed out and the smells treated, the lawn was handed back looking fresh and green from end to end.

Questions
About artificial grass cleaning
Thinking about something similar? These are the questions we hear most.
How much does artificial grass cleaning cost in Putney?
Joanna's full refresh of a long artificial lawn in Putney SW15 cost £450 including VAT and took one day, with power brushing, jet washing and professional pet odour treatment. Smaller lawns or a clean without odour treatment cost less.
Can you get rid of dog urine smell from artificial grass?
Yes. The smell soaks into the fibres and backing, so we use professional products designed to break down pet urine and poo odours, after jet washing to flush the lawn. Regular rinsing between cleans helps keep it fresh.
What does power brushing do?
It lifts flattened fibres so the lawn stands up evenly again, and loosens dirt and debris trapped in the pile so it can be washed out. It is the step that makes a tired lawn look new.
How often should artificial grass be cleaned?
Most lawns benefit from a deep clean once or twice a year, and more often with dogs. Brushing and rinsing between cleans keeps the pile up and reduces smells.
Do you clean artificial grass elsewhere near Putney?
Yes, including Fulham, Earlsfield, Wimbledon and Wandsworth. See all our landscaping in Putney.
