Deep Cleaning Astroturf Sports Surfacing Maintenance

Deep Cleaning Astroturf Sports Surfacing Maintenance is an annually ongoing maintenance schedule set up with schools, leisure centres, colleges and universities. The deep cleaning is carried out once a year or twice a year preferably which basically will help keep the sports pitch keep its playing performance and lifespan of the carpet. This deep cleaning of the infill will prolong the life expectancy of the pitch and the amount of time before a refurbishment, restoration, revitalisation or sports pitch rejuvenation is needed.

The maintenance visit includes sweeping the surfacing, removing any surface debris from the area prior to the deep cleaning process. The deep cleaning machine decompacts the silica sand infill to a depth of 5-7mm, lifts and opens the carpet fibres and as it sucks up the sand infill it cleans the silica sand trapping any moss, algae and algal squidge and redistributes the new cleaned sand which is normally Garside 2ew or Chelford 30. While on-site during this maintenance process we will test and check on seams and joints repairing any damaged lines but this may be at an extra cost if it is failing in several places.

The deep cleaning is carried out throughout the UK on full-sized hockey pitches to smaller multi-use games area ball court MUGAs. This process is carried out mainly to the sand-filled synthetic turf which is normally a 22-24mm artificial grass carpet ideal for sports like football, hockey, basketball, tennis and multi-use.
