South vs North: Maintenance Strategies for Artificial Turf in Different Climates

Southern Regions (High Temperature & Humidity)

• Drainage Priority：Inspect drainage holes in the perforated backing weekly. Use high-pressure water to flush out blocked sediment and remove standing water promptly after heavy rain.
• Mold Prevention：Spray eco-friendly mold inhibitor monthly, focusing on the root zones of grass filaments in damp areas like shaded spots under trees.
• UV Protection：Cover with sunshade nets at noon in summer to delay UV aging of grass filaments. Reapply UV-resistant coating annually.

Northern Regions (Arid & Cold)

• Freeze Protection：Lay thermal insulation felt before winter. Prohibit the use of de-icing salt below -10℃; use mechanical snow sweepers instead.
• Sand Control：Vacuum dust between grass filaments with an electrostatic cleaner weekly during windy spring seasons, and replenish lost rubber infill.
• Moisture Retention：Mist the turf every two weeks in dry seasons (not irrigation) to prevent static abrasion from dryness.

Universal Tips：Both regions should avoid sharp objects damaging the turf and regularly comb 倒伏 (bent) grass filaments with a specialized brush. Reduce maintenance frequency by 20% in the northern summer and southern winter.
