How do you clean bamboo flooring?We just got new bamboo flooring and without reading directions to clean them we used murphy's oil. Afterwards we found out that we should not used oil-based products to clean it but the oil/shine won't leave the floor and wherever we walk it leaves scuff marks.How do i get rid of this?I've already tried diluting it more but it's not working.Thanks!
Dish /wash soap will make the floor sticky.,and even if you rinse off it will leave a residue. I would suggest nice warm water and only two teaspoons white vinegar , nice clean towly cloth and rub hard. You would be amazed how much just warm water cleans on its own, i only use warm water on my floors now and change the wash water often. Please try water only first and your floor will eventually be clean anf free from any cleaning soloutions. By the way i discovered this one day when i had run out of any cleaning stuff. My wooden floors look great and without any smears or sticky residue.
We have bamboo flooring and used mineral spirits to get the glue off of them after the installation. That worked great, perhaps it would cut through the oil too. My other suggestion would be to take a dry cloth and rub the floors down to help take away some of the oil.
