How do I maintain my hardwood flooring?
We recommend the following practices as part of your floor’s normal care and maintenance:
- To collect moisture, sand, grit and other damaging substances – use doormats or rugs
- Using a soft accessory dust mop or vacuum to keep your bamboo floor clean from dust, dirt or grit
- Use a Swiffer or similar type of dry mop
- Soft damp cloth for sticky spots or a generic hardwood floor cleaner. Do not use steel wool or any type of abrasive scouring pads
- Never use detergents, abrasive cleaners, or corrosive chemicals to clean your bamboo floor
- Use mats in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room to protect from spills. Avoid excessive water
- For spills blot it up immediately with a dry cloth or slightly damp mop
- Use only colorfast and non-scratch carpeting or pads on your hardwood floor
- Avoid high heeled shoes and protect the floor from furniture legs
- Hardwood flooring has effective UV inhibitors in its pre-finish. It is recommended that it not be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
