Bamboo Flooring Care And Maintenance
To maintain your bamboo flooring, Nonn's Design Showplace has compiled a list of to-do's and not-to-do's:
What to DO:
1. Vacuum or sweep floor regularly.
2. Remove spills promptly. Use a soft cloth and a manufacturer recommended wood floor cleaner to clean spills.
3. Renew a worn surface with a manufacturer recommended finish before wood is exposed.
4. Use a vacuum or broom for drill spills, abrasions.
5. Place mats at exterior doors to trap sand and grit from incoming traffic.
6. Use area rugs on high traffic pathways such as the end of steps, hallways, etc.
7. Install felt pad floor protectors on "feet" of furniture.
What NOT to do:
1. Do not let sand, dirt or grit build up. They act as abrasives and wear and dull the floor finish.
2. Never damp mop a wood floor. Excessive amounts of water can cause your wood floor to swell and cup.
3. Avoid walking on wood floors in high heels; they can severely damage it.
4. Keep pets claws properly trimmed to avoid excessive scratches and gouges.
5. Do not use wax, oil soap, or other household cleaners on your polyurethane-finished wood floor. The use of these products can dull today's floor finishes and make refinishing difficult.
