What should I use to clean my bamboo floor?

There are many products available to help you to clean your bamboo floor.  Once your floor has been installed, you will want to keep it looking its best.  Bamboo is easy to look after. Sweeping away any dirt on a daily basis is a starting point.  However, you will need to clean your bamboo regularly to remove any marks, scuffs or sticky areas.  Using the correct products can really help to bring the shine and freshness back to your bamboo.

Is there any thing else I can use to clean my bamboo floor?

Yes, you can clean your bamboo floor with a damp mop and clean water.  You need to be really careful that your mop is fully wrung out.  If any excess water is left on the surface of the floor, it could soak in and cause damage to your bamboo. Alternatively, you could use any floor cleaner suitable for wooden floors.  Ideally it should be PH neutral and you should only use a soft mop.   Maybe have a look at our range of cleaning products.  

 

Which products should I avoid?

Bamboo floors are fairly durable and resilient, however, you should be mindful about which products you are using to clean your floor.  Some products are not designed for bamboo or wooden floors and can damage the surface of the bamboo.  Avoid the following:

• Furniture polish. It can leave a slippery residue which is difficult to remove.

• Steam mop. The high heat and moisture can penetrate into the planks of your bamboo floor and cause irreparable damage.

• Acidic or abrasive products. These can scratch or impair the surface lacquer of the bamboo floor.
