Almost every new synthetic field comes with the same parting gift: a drag brush and a handshake. It's a good tool. Pulled behind a utility vehicle, a drag keeps fibers standing and spreads infill back into low spots. But a drag only works the top of the field.
What a drag can't reach
Sweat, sunflower seeds, tape, dust, leaves, rubber fines and organic matter work their way down into the infill layer. A drag pushes that material around; it doesn't lift it out. Over time it compacts, holds odor and changes how the surface plays.
That compaction matters. A harder surface shows up in your GMAX numbers, and a dirty infill layer can shorten the useful life of a field your district spent hundreds of thousands — or millions — to install.
Groom often, deep clean quarterly
Think of the drag like brushing your teeth and a deep clean like a visit to the dentist. Keep grooming between games. Then, about four times a year, give the field a true deep clean that lifts fibers, pulls embedded debris, returns good infill and sanitizes the surface.
That's exactly why TurfBoni was built: one pass that brushes, collects, filters, recovers infill and mists Turf Animal® cleaner — so your crew isn't dragging three machines across the same field.
