Care and maintenance of bamboo flooring
Bamboo Flooring Bamboo flooring is a natural flooring material ideal for residential and commercial applications. It is environmentally friendly and more affordable than prefinished or unfinished hardwoods. With proper care and maintenance, bamboo flooring can last up to25years. So how do you care for bamboo flooring to make it last as long as possible? Here are some general care and cleaning tips.
Bamboo floor care
Dirt, debris, dust, sand and other small abrasive particles can scratch and damage bamboo. To prevent scratches, place doormats inside and outside the doorway. Small mats will help prevent wear and tear. To avoid dents in this semi-soft flooring, it is also recommended to place felt pads on furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor when rearranging the room.
Both unusually wet and dry climates can damage bamboo flooring. The material can expand in wet conditions and contract in dry conditions. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers can help prevent this damage. Excessive sunlight can also discolor bamboo, but appropriate window designs can reduce the degree of color fading. If you have pets, trim their claws, bathe them often and wipe them dry or wipe their feet when you have guests over. High heels can leave dents in the bamboo, and shoes with dark soles can leave scuff marks. In general, dirt, rain, and slush accumulate on shoes. Some landlords require families and renters to remove their shoes when entering the store.
How to clean bamboo floors
Kitchen – Bamboo Floors Bamboo floors should be vacuumed or mopped frequently. This will prevent dirt and debris from accumulating and scratching. Since the floor is porous, any spills should be wiped up immediately with a clean cloth. Bamboo is more resistant to moisture than hardwood, but never use water to clean as this can cause warping and swelling. A slightly damp mop can be used to remove surface stains and dirt, but ensure that the floor dries completely within a few minutes.
Optimal cleaning products for bamboo flooring
It is very important to use the right cleaning products for your floor. Most hard flooring cleaners can be used for bamboo as long as they are wax and alkaline free, but if in doubt, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. However, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Instead, apply the spray to the mop nozzle and gently wipe the floor in a circular motion. It is best to follow the instructions on the bottle of any floor cleaner. Special attention should be paid to products that require mixing the solution with water.
