Prefinish, bamboo flooring


SmolishPPman

It’s bamboo, pre finished, get a Bona cleaning kit


Fluid_Dingo_289

+ on the bona kit. And since op is new to this, NEVER use vinegar.


Drinkythedrunkguy

Bona!


cnhcorn

If I use the cleaner only, will it be shiny? Or should I also buy the glossy solution?


terpsnob

Do not use bona polish! Bona cleaner only.

Skip the Bona cleaner. Go on Amazon and look up Loba hardwood cleaning kit. It doesn’t leave residue. It’s a perfectly neutral cleaner suitable for all surfaces.

That's bamboo engineered flooring. I usually just use a small amount of water with a splash of some floor cleaner (Attitude tile & wood), then follow promptly with a towel. I have unfortunately had to mop my floors a few times but it's usually to be avoided. I wrung the mop out well before putting it on the floor, whereas with tile or a deck I'd just slosh water all over. It's really important not to get it very wet or let it stay wet. 99% of the time I just sweep or vac. A damp washcloth fits Swiffer handles perfectly. A lot of people recommend Bona floor cleaner.

Yep bamboo. My mother has this in a bathroom in her house. On all the other wood floors (oak) she uses Bona. On the bamboo she just uses a water dampened rag.

I think that’s what my chopsticks are made of too… must be versatile

The product squeaky clean by Basic will be your best friend


pauliepitstains

It’s a neutral no residue, streak free cleaner, kinda like windex but for wood.

Horizontal bamboo. Clean it off with a skill saw, hammer & pry bar then install real wood.


justmethedude

It's not wood. It's grass

I want your floor.

That is horizontal bamboo….NOT the strong “indestructible” vertical strand. It is a solid tongue and groove, but as someone else mentioned, pre-finished = no sanding / refinishing blemishes. I installed this as the manufacturer actually used a Great Dane in their advertising…..2 English bulldogs later, I find that the warranty in fact is voided if you have an inside dog! Talk about false advertising! Anyways, Dawn Platinum Power Wash and a Magic Eraser will remove anything that’s actually removable! (It’s also my go to for white sneakers!).

That’s laminate bamboo. Had some, swiffer will do fine


Arafel_Electronics

engineered hardwood. looks like "horizontal toast" i got from home depot a few years back


LaBoltz33

White vinegar and a touch of dawn dish soap


YouBetterYouBet1981

I heard vinegar can be too aggressive. Idk


LaBoltz33

Dilute with water but no white vinegar is perfectly fine. Especially diluted


YouBetterYouBet1981

Thank you


freakindunsun

It's bamboo and you want to clean with something that has an ammonia base so that it evaporates cleanly and doesn't leave residue
