Carry, do not drag or push furniture across the floor.

Put felt or rubber pads under each furniture leg.

Lay mats or throw rugs with non-abrasive backing at each doorway
( Also, it would be a good idea to verify with the mat or rug manufacturer that the backing will not chemically react with your floor’s finish).

Place an area rug in high-traffic areas (Again, verify that the backing is non-abrasive and will not chemically react with the floor’s finish).

Do not walk on the floor with spike high heels or athletic cleats.

Keep any pets’ claws closely trimmed.

Place a drip pan under potted plants, but allow airflow underneath it.

Install curtains, blinds, or window tint to prevent UV faded areas.

Immediately clean food and liquid spills with a slightly dampened cloth, then dry the floor with a soft cloth or towel.

Regularly clean the floor with a dust mop, soft bristled broom, soft bristled vacuum cleaner, or a wood floor mop kit

If these products are not available, you can mix 1/4 cup of white vinegar with one quart of water as a substitute.

Use a thoroughly wrung soft cloth or sponge, work in small areas at a time, and dry each area with a soft cloth or towel before continuing.

Do not use wax, oil soap, common household cleaners, or any abrasive cleaners.


Remember: always follow the recommendations of your flooring manufacturer first. Their advice along with some common sense will save you time consuming and costly repairs, and let you enjoy your beautiful new bamboo floor for many years to come!
