Stains <br />The Contractor shall be responsible for removing stains on the synthetic turf. <br />Polyethylene fibers are stain resistant fibers because most stains are moisture borne and <br />polyethylene, a "hydrophobic" yarn, absorbs little moisture. As a result, a "stain" on a <br />synthetic turf field is not a true "stain"; rather, it is generally dried residue of foreign matter, <br />which must be quickly and thoroughly removed. It is best removed while still moist and thus <br />before it has dried on the fibers. <br />These residues can generally be removed with water or soap and water. Remember, it is much <br />easier to clean a fresh spill before it has time to dry and harden. Remove any deposit promptly <br />using a putty knife or similar tool. Then soak up excess liquids with paper or cloth towels or <br />rags. <br />"Water Based" Stains or Residues: <br />Stain <br />Procedure for Removal <br />1. Scrub the area with soap and water.
