I contacted Turf Clean about cleaning my artificial lawn due to an odor from my dog and general dirtiness. They came in and did their pet package and it worked wonders. The odour was gone and the lawn looks new.

Our turf was covered in pine needles and sap but after a visit from Turf Clean it looked brand new. They also re-rolled the putting green and sanitized the grass for our dog! Morgan was super friendly and did a great job, we will definitely bring them back next time we need a cleaning done.

Thanks to the team at Turf Clean for coming in to deep clean and sanitize my grass. I feel much better knowing that my kids have a clean surface to play on! Such good staff and the kids loved them as well!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When is the best time of year to have my turf cleaning done?
Ideally once in November after the leaves have fallen, and again in the springtime to have it looking brand new again for your backyard BBQ’s! We can also give your grass a powerbroom to get it cleaned before your next big party. Dog owners usually opt to have the sanitation service done on a quarterly basis.
Q: What kind of tools do I need to clean my artificial grass?
The best place to start is with a leaf blower to clear off organic debris. You can also use lawn rakes with plastic tines or stiff-bristle push brooms, as these will do no damage to the grass blades or the backing of the turf. Beyond that, our turf cleaning pros have specialized cleaning equipment that the average homeowner wouldn’t own.
Q: How much does this service cost?
Turf Cleaning Service starts at $225/visit for a smaller Vancouver yard, and goes up with size and distance from Vancouver. We also offer commercial cleaning for Stratas and a discounted rate for clients that had their turf installed by us!

Q: How do I remove moss from my putting green or turf?
This can be a tricky battle once the moss has taken over, but the best way to eliminate moss is by aggressively scrubbing the surface with a wire brush and/or applying some moss-remover or vinegar water. Moss is caused by retained moisture in the turf, especially with south-facing yards. For moss growing in the taller artificial grass, we suggest using a fork to pick out the moss clumps… or simply hire the Turf Clean Team to get it done for you!
Q: Do I need to replace the infill of my turf?
Almost never! Once the infill goes in, it rarely comes out, however heavy foot traffic turf areas require top-ups more frequently. Some dog-owners like to top up their Envirofill every couple of years to combat pet urine odors, but when your turf was installed, we applied 1.5-2 lbs/square foot. A good rule of thumb is that the infill should cover one third of the grass blades.
Q: I accidentally burned a patch of my turf, is it possible to fix?
Usually, Yes! When we completed your project, we left a small piece of “repair turf” with you, that matches the exact same dye lot. Just give us a call and one of our repair technicians will seamlessly blend in a new piece on their next visit!
Q: What happens if I spill something on the turf?
No worries! If hosing off the area doesn’t work, you can use any hold-house cleaning products. If it’s a paint spill, we may have to replace that patch with the repair piece, or you might be able to cut the affected turf blades with a pair of scissors.
Q: What happens if I don’t clear off all the leaves after the fall?
Over time, the organic debris can provide the nutrients for weeds to grow on your turf. Most of the time, these weeds are easy to pull out because the roots are shallow, but spraying weed killer is also effective, and will do no harm to the turf.
Q: Do I need to maintain my artificial turf?
On occasion, yes! While artificial grass is very low-maintenance compared to alternatives, it is not “zero-maintenance” like some turf companies may advertise. Consider it an outdoor carpet, would you go an entire year without vacuuming or cleaning your carpet? We realize most home owners don’t want to spend their precious weekend cleaning their outdoor space, so let us take care of that for you!
Q: Do I need to hire a professional to maintain my artificial turf?
Not necessarily, if you want to go rent some power equipment and spend a Saturday afternoon cleaning your turf we’re not here to stop you! If you prefer to leave it to the experts and reclaim your time, then we’re here to help!
Q: Do you use any cleaning chemicals that might be harmful to my dog or child?
No, everything we use is safe and sanitary for your entire family with one exception: In special cases where we need to apply moss or weed killer, it is recommended to keep them off the turf until the following day, other than that, they can play away!
