Place rugs around sinks and counters to catch excess moisture. Lay down runners and rugs in high-traffic areas to prevent dirt build-up, scratches, and scuff marks. Exercise caution when moving furniture and protect their sharp edges."
Direct sunlight can damage your bamboo flooring, so limit how much sunlight your floors are exposed to. Sunlight may fade or crack your bamboo floors. Hang blinds or curtains to block out excess sun, especially during the brightest part of the day. A consistent temperature range is important to prevent your bamboo flooring from warping. Purchase a thermometer that can measure room temperature and track your room over time. If you're having trouble keeping your room at the required temperature, invest in a portable air conditioner.  Check your room's temperature regularly, especially during the summer and winter when it is prone to fluctuate. Purchase thermometers from department stores and big-box stores. Measure your room's humidity with a hygrometer. If the humidity is too high, you may want to invest in a dehumidifier. Read the label of each potential dehumidifier before you invest in one, to determine how many liters or water it removes per 24 hours and per space. For example, a 500 square feet (46 m2) room requires a dehumidifier that removes 40 to 45 pints (18.92 liters to 21.29 liters) each hour.  Invest in a small residential dehumidifier if your bamboo floor covers a single room, such as a living room or kitchen. For larger regions, consider a whole-home dehumidifier. Purchase dehumidifiers from big-box stores and department stores. If your bamboo flooring is in the kitchen or another area where spills are likely, place a rug around at-risk areas. Select a material that is approved for hardwood and bamboo flooring to prevent damage to the floor.  Clean up spilled liquids immediately. They can damage your bamboo flooring if the liquids pool on your floor. Never use carpets with rubber or latex backing—this can damage and discolor bamboo. Shoes, especially high-heeled shoes, can leave dirt and scuffs on the wood, and rugs will protect your floor from these marks. Dirt from shoes will tend to accumulate at doorways as well, so place rugs or mats here to cut down on dirt entering the room. Be sure to clean or shake out the rugs regularly. When moving items like chairs, couches, and lamps, always lift and set them down. Never drag them across the floor. Put felt or coasters under the furniture on their legs and other regions that contact the floor. This will keep the pieces from marring the floor when they shift. If you use a dolly to move large items, always use a soft-wheeled model.
