For turf that is not exposed to rain, water can be sprinkled on to clean the surface. See link for more.

At The Turf Shed, customers often ask: Is AstroTurf the same as artificial turf? While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there’s a key difference. AstroTurf is actually a brand name—the first company to commercially produce synthetic grass. It gained popularity in the 1960s after debuting in the Houston Astrodome, hence the name. Over time, people began using "AstroTurf" to refer to all types of synthetic turf, much like “Kleenex” is often used for tissues. Artificial turf, on the other hand, is a general term that refers to any manufactured grass surface designed to replicate natural grass. Today’s artificial turf has evolved significantly from the original AstroTurf. It includes advanced materials, infill systems, and realistic blade shapes and textures, making it more durable, safer, and visually appealing. So while all AstroTurf is artificial turf, not all artificial turf is AstroTurf. At The Turf Shed (theturfsheddotcomdotau), we offer a wide range of high-quality artificial turf options for residential, commercial, and sports applications—far beyond what the original AstroTurf could offer. Let us help you choose the right turf for your project.
