Bamboo Floor Cleaner

Bamboo floor cleaner should be selected very carefully. Bamboo flooring is not hardwood flooring, and should not be treated as such. A lot of the cleaners recommended for hardwood flooring will not work, and may possibly even damage the bamboo floor.

Only the bamboo floor cleaner suggested by the bamboo flooring supplier should be used on bamboo floors. The manufacturer/supplier has researched and tested the various cleaners already. He knows which cleaner is best for his particular product. Therefore, follow his suggestions. Use of a cleaner other than the one recommended by the flooring supplier could void the warranty given with the bamboo flooring. There are numerous bamboo floor cleaners are the market today, two are listed below.

It has been specially formulated for use on pre-lacquered wood and bamboo floors. It contains no harmful chemicals, is non-toxic, ph balanced, and is completely environmentally safe. With proper use, it will clean the floor without harming it.

There are two or three other products which need to be discussed in the bamboo floor cleaner section. They are not chemical or liquid cleaners, and so may easily go overlooked. Bamboo floors should be dust mopped, swept with a broom, and swept with a sweeper, same as a regular hardwood floor. To clean the bamboo floor, softness and dryness, are the keys. That means proper cleaning tools must be used or floor damage may result. The dust mop must have an extremely soft mop-head; most do. The broom must be extremely soft bristled if it is to be used on bamboo flooring. To thoroughly clean the floor, a soft-headed vacuum nozzle or soft-bristled brush should be used, not the vacuum itself.

Even though there are chemical bamboo floor cleaners on the market such as the two listed here, they are not necessary for day to day cleaning.
