The confusion of choosing cleaning products for bamboo floors
With so many different cleaning products available for bamboo and wood floors, it’s understandable that it can be confusing to know where to start. Below you’ll find a quick guide explaining our favorite bamboo flooring cleaning products.
Two of the top three bamboo floor cleaning product recommendations
Wood Floor Spray Mop: This is our favorite bamboo floor cleaning product. It combines a cleaning solution and a mop in one, and the mop comes with a nozzle and swivel head, making it extremely easy to use. The refillable cleaning solution is gentle yet effective.
Wood Floor Cleaning Spray: This wood floor cleaning spray is specially formulated for cleaning all types of wood and bamboo floors. It is ready-to-use and comes in a convenient spray bottle. Simply spray onto the floor and wipe with a microfiber cloth or mop.
Water and Mop: If you don’t want to use any product on your bamboo floor, a mop and water alone will also effectively clean the surface. Since bamboo absorbs water, you need to make sure the mop is wrung out and there is no excess moisture on the floor. Lime green and gray buckets can be used with the mop.
Products to avoid
There are many products that should be avoided when cleaning bamboo floors because if you use the wrong products, it is easy to damage the floor. The following should be avoided:
Furniture polish: It will make the floor very slippery.
Acidic or abrasive products: can damage and/or scratch the surface.
Steam mops: heat and moisture can penetrate and warp the floor.
Excessive water: can penetrate the surface and damage the floor.
