FAQs
1. How do you clean bamboo floors?
Special care must be taken while cleaning bamboo floors. Spills and wet spots must be cleaned up immediately with a microfiber towel. For regular cleaning, always use a vacuum with a felt head instead of a hard head or one with a beater bar. For mopping your bamboo floors, only use hardwood cleaners and follow the label instructions carefully.
2. Can bamboo flooring be wet-mopped?
Bamboo flooring can be cleaned by dipping a regular mop in a cleaning solution. Ideally, the mop should be wrung out of any excess water until it is damp but not wet. Using a wet mop may cause water to soak into the bamboo floors and cause water damage.
