How To Clean Bamboo Floors

How To Clean Bamboo Flooring.

Items Needed:

  1. Soft fiber or bristle broom
  2. Dustpan
  3. Soft cloth mop
  4. Wood cleaner
  5. Bucket
  6. Soft, clean rags

Have a soft-bristle or fine-fiber broom accessible to keep bamboo in like-new condition. Without regular sweeping, ideally once a day, gritty dirt and dust can scratch the floor’s surface.

Mop weekly, using a hardwood-rated cleaner or a wood soap to maintain shine and protect the surface. Avoid ammonia-, vinegar-, or other acidic-based cleaning agents, which can discolor bamboo floors or harm the finish, making them more susceptible to other damage.

Some water stains or discolorations can be successfully treated with a dollop of real mayonnaise. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, then wipe off and polish with a soft, clean rag. If the oil-rich mayo doesn’t do the trick, it shouldn’t make matters worse; however, various other “remedies” you might see online can harm bamboo flooring, so proceed cautiously.

Never steam clean your bamboo floors.

Never use rubber or latex-backed mats. They collect moisture and will stain the floor.

Avoid keeping furniture in the same spot for years. Sunlight can discolor the floor and will be stained forever.

Always remember that particular shoes like high heels or sports cleats can do a lot of damage to bamboo floors.

It is not uncommon to find dirty carpets and floors in commercial buildings. This does not mean the facilities floor care providers are giving a poor service. The occupants responsible for the carpets and floors in their building are not always floor care experts. In most cases, they do not know much about taking care of the floor or protecting it from further damage. They were given no instructions on how to take care of it. When ignoring floor care issues for as long as possible the result is floor damage, dirty floors and carpets. There is an easy remedy. The first thing is to find a service provider with the expertise to assess your buildings floor surfaces and carpets and explain what needs to be done.

Commercial Cleaning and Sanitizing
By Jeff Volinsky September 26, 2022
At first glance, cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting are similar. The truth of the matter is there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Cleaning and sanitizing are each two sides of the same coin; one acts as a necessity for the other. These are each part of a three-step cleaning process. Each step relies on or overlaps with the one before it. Note that one part of this process does not replace the other.
