The bamboo floor is very durable and taking care to protect it from potentially hazardous elements, you can be sure that it will look the best and will last a long time after its installation.
Perhaps these tips will be useful to you, and will help to preserve the beauty and durability of the bamboo floor. The bamboo floor must be free from dust, dirt and sand. Even the smallest particles of dirt can lead to scratches on the surface.
Care for the bamboo flooring is similar to caring for wooden floors.
Like wood, bamboo is sensitive to moisture, so you should limit the excessive use of water when washing the floor. To care for the bamboo floor, it is better to use a dry cleaning with a flat mop of microfiber daily. Do not use acid or vinegar based cleaners, as this can damage the surface of the bamboo floor.
High heels can damage the bamboo floor, so it is not recommended to walk around in such shoes, since the pressure load on such a narrow contact point may leave dents on the floor.
When using a carpet on the bamboo flooring, make sure it is made of material that is suitable for use on wooden or bamboo floors, rubber mats should be avoided, as they can cause a discoloration of the floor, because the floor is unable to breathe through the rubber.
Protective pads should be placed under the legs of chairs, tables and cabinets, preferably from dense fabric.
If there is furniture on the wheels, it is better to remove them.
Do not under any circumstance resist the temptation to drag any heavy pieces of furniture over the bamboo floor, as this can leave deep furrows and probably hopelessly damage the floor.
Direct sunlight can discolor some types of bamboo floor.
This can happen if the floor is exposed to high concentrations of sunlight for a long time, it is necessary to protect the bamboo floor from sunlight, using screens, curtains or blinds.
If something is spilled onto the floor, then this should be immediately eliminated if the spilled liquid remains for a long time, then it can penetrate into the bamboo floor and cause deep stains that cannot be removed. After spending a little time on caring for the bamboo floor, you can rest assured that it still looks good and continues to please for many years.
All that is required to maintain bamboo floors in order is frequent sweeping and maintaining a minimum level of humidity. In general, the methods for cleaning bamboo flooring are almost the same as for other types of parquet. To clean the bamboo will require even fewer chemicals, which is an obvious plus for the health of consumers.
Regular cleaning of bamboo floors, of course, contributes to their long life. Such floors can be washed from time to time with a slightly damp cloth or foam mop and regularly swept and/or vacuumed with a soft nozzle. So you clean your bamboo floor from everyday dust and dirt and protect it from scratches.
Another way to prevent abrasive particles from getting on the floor from shoes and paws of pets is to put the mat at the entrance. It will contain small stones, dirt, and moisture, grains of sand, glass fragments and fragments of various objects and prevent the appearance of unnecessary scratches on the floor of bamboo. Such mats should be regularly shaken out, and transitions in street shoes on the bamboo floor should be minimized. So dirt and sand will not be transferred from the rug to the parquet.
To clean the bamboo flooring you can use almost all the tools that are used to clean parquets. Here the only exception is wax, since it can affect the coating of such a floor. In any case, when buying bamboo parquet, and then cleaning products, it is necessary to consult with sellers about the possibility of using certain cleaning products. Sellers can help you choose the right options, but do not forget to read the labels carefully when buying any products and follow all instructions when using them.
