Bamboo flooring Maintenance
Each type of floors requires maintenance.
Here are few tips of how your bamboo floors can still look great after so many
years .
1. Clean floor after installation. Use a
lightly dampened mop with no-wax floor cleaner specifically formulated for
hardwood floors (preferably non-toxic, environmentally safe products).And we
carry those type of cleaning products such as Bona and many others.
2. Regularly dust mop,
sweep with a soft bristle broom or vacuum with a soft accessory to keep your
bamboo floor clean from dust, dirt or grit. In our store you will be able to
get a cleaning mop as well.
3 Remove spills and
dirt promptly. A soft cloth wetted with water and then squeezed dry may be used
to wipe up foodstuffs and other spills, provided the area is dried immediately.
4 When using any wood
flooring cleaner that requires mixing with water, follow the mixing directions
precisely.
5 Heel or scuff marks
and stubborn stains may be removed by lightly rubbing with a cloth and a wood
floor cleaner.
6 Place mats at all
exterior entrances. This will capture much of the harmful dirt before it
reaches the bamboo floor.
7 It is recommended to
remove shoes (especially high-heel shoes) prior to walking on bamboo flooring.
Alternatively, be sure to clean shoes well. Gravel, rocks and debris can get
stuck in the bottom of shoes and scratch the finish.
8 Use area rugs on high
traffic pathways. Only use colorfast and non-scratch area rugs on your bamboo
floor.
9 Use mats in the
kitchen, bathroom and laundry room to protect against spills.
10 Shake out, vacuum or
wash mats and area rugs frequently.
11 Install floor
protectors under all furniture legs. Make sure the floor protectors are large
enough to distribute weight evenly. Keep the floor protectors clean of grit and
replace them periodically. Wheels should have hardened-plastic casters at least
2" in width depending on weight.
