Maintenance
Artificial turf systems must be properly maintained in order to keep the surface in good playing condition. Maintenance helps to avoid degradation of heavily used areas, infill compaction and is generally required per a manufacturer's warranty. Neglecting maintenance or minor repairs can lead to more serious problems with continued use. Keeping the surface clean of debris is best. Also, the most common method of maintenance is using a nylon or polyolefin brush. The amount of periodic maintenance, brushing methods and solutions for specific issues such as snow/ice removal, oil spillage, etc. can be provided by the artificial turf manufacturer. It is important to keep a maintenance log to track the performed maintenance.

Famous quotes containing the word maintenance:
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
“War is in truth a disease in which the juices that serve health and maintenance are used for the sole purpose of nourishing something foreign, something at odds with nature.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“However patriarchal the world, at home the child knows that his mother is the source of all power. The hand that rocks the cradle rules his world. . . . The son never forgets that he owes his life to his mother, not just the creation of it but the maintenance of it, and that he owes her a debt he cannot conceivably repay, but which she may call in at any time.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
