Bamboo Flooring Maintenance

Bamboo flooring care and maintenance starts even before the installation. Just after the consignment of the flooring or bamboo plywood arrive at the place of installation, they should be allowed to acclimate and adjust to the new humidity so that after installation there is less contraction or expansion. During installation the manufacturer’s instructions must be followed to the later. All this eliminates great need of maintenance.

After the installation the necessary precautions and care for the flooring should be followed to ensure durability and maintenance of the intended aesthetic. The bamboo flooring hardness is depended on its moisture content. Bamboo is known to have a higher resistance to moisture than any of the other hardwoods, but it is recommended that after any fluid spillage that its immediately wiped, when cleaning use a slightly wet mop or the recommended cleaning agents.

Try to avoid walking on high-heeled shoes since they can scratch the flooring due to the pressure distribution or shoes that small pebbles can stick on the sole. Also direct long period exposure to sunlight whose UV waves causes discoloration of the flooring. Consider using a finish layer that is UV-protective. Use glider pads on furniture to avoid scratching. When moving heavy items avoid dragging them on the floor, just lift and move them with help. Place floor rugs in places that are most likely to get water spillages to avoid it from seeping through to the bamboo.
