• When a spill occurs, soak up the bulk liquid promptly.
• In areas of excessive traffic and wear, please make use of runners or area rugs.
• Use felt protectors under heavy pieces of furniture and chairs. Do not use rubber as it may leach into the bamboo.
• Use protective mats at all exterior entrances. Do not use rubber-based furniture or mats as the rubber may leach into the bamboo.

Restoration

Your bamboo floor can be restored several times by sanding back the veneer and then applying a polyurethane or water-based coating. Sanding and re-coating should only be carried out by a professional flooring contractor.
