ADOPT A REGULAR CLEANING ROUTINE
The best way to keep your floor dust and dirt free is to sweep and mop the surface as much as possible. You can use wood floor cleaning solution.

USE CORRECT CLEANING PRODUCTS
Always use cleaning products that are suitable for bamboo or wooden floors. Examples are:

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND TO USE THE FOLLOWING

MAINTENANCE GUIDE
TYPES OF DIRT
MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Dirt and Debris
Use a soft brush to clean the dirt and debris on the surface of the WPC with warm and soapy water. Follow the direction of the wood grain when brushing.
Tannins
It is best to use a hose or soft broom to remove debris from the gap. Keeping the gap clean will reduce the chance of forming tannins.
Oil / Grease / Food
All grease or food spills must be removed as soon as possible. Use a soft brush to clean the dirt and debris on the surface of the WPC with warm and soapy water.
Concrete/Plaster
The WPC must always be covered during construction involving concrete. A piece of tarpaulin or architectural grade plastic film can be used as cover. Gypsum and concrete contain substances that can damage the WPC (ie lime).
