Caring For Your Bamboo Floor

Cleaning your bamboo floor

To maintain your bamboo floor, it is recommended to avoid cleaning it with a large amount of water. This could damage the luster of the floor and make it lose its luster. It is rather advisable to use a microfiber broom or a vacuum cleaner to remove small particles from the floor.

You can still use a mixture of water and dish soap to clean your Bamboo flooring by ambient if you wish, as long as the mop used to do so is wrung out as much as possible. Rinse taking care to use as little water as possible for cleaning and take care to dry the floor afterwards.

Not only is it nice and pleasant to have a clean floor, it also helps prevent small particles like grains of sand from scratching your bamboo flooring. Although the scratches can be minor, their accumulation will inevitably make them visible. This is why it is also strongly recommended to place a carpet in the entrance hall.

What to do in case of a stain?

If you notice a stain on your bamboo covering, quickly wipe it off. Although this may be a general recommendation for all floors, it is of particular importance for bamboo flooring. In fact, since it is a porous material, the liquid will tend to infiltrate quickly inside it.

As for oil or grease stains, a good quality black soap should allow you to remove them. Just apply it on the stains and rub gently with a soft cloth in circular motions.

For ink stains, moisten a soft cloth with acetone and rub it on the stain. Be aware however that the protective varnish on your floor will be altered and that you will unfortunately have no choice but to refinish it. Remember to rinse and dry the floor after you have peeled it off.

What about wine stains during over-watered evenings? In order to remove them, a cloth soaked in diluted vinegar will do the trick. Regarding mold stains, know that a little ammonia mixed with soapy water will be of great help to you. Finally, as a precaution, affix small felt-tip pens under the legs of your chairs and furniture to prevent them from marking the floor when moving.

Little advice to restore luster to your floor

Notice that your bamboo floor has lost its luster and looks a bit dull? To make it shine again, concoct a mixture of hot water, a tablespoon of turpentine and a tablespoon of linseed oil. This mixture will give your floor its luster and its charm of yesteryear in no time!
