Do's: Vacuum your bamboo floor frequently to eliminate the presence of solid particles (such as sand) which may damage and/or scratch your floor. Place protective felt underneath your furniture to protect your floor. Clean the felt regularly and replace it when necessary. When moving heavy furniture (fridge, piano, etc.), place a thick rug underneath furniture legs before moving. Keep your pets nails clipped to reduce scratching on the floor. Wipe up spills immediately with a lightly dampened cloth, and then follow up with a recommended cleaning product. Maintain the appearance of your bamboo floor by using a "putty pen" to fill minor scratches on the finish. Avoid long periods of direct sunlight. If using area rugs, make sure to move them periodically, to ensure the UV rays don't unevenly fade or change the color of the bamboo flooring. Depending on the amount of traffic, varnish your bamboo floor every few years to help maintain its lustrous finish. Keep indoor temperature and humidity reasonably consistent. Don'ts: Do not use wax, oil, soap or any industrial strength cleaner on your bamboo floor. Use only light cleaning products that are urethane and aluminum oxide friendly. Do not use an excessive amount of water when cleaning your bamboo floor. Water and wood/grass (bamboo) are not naturally compatible - wet your mop/cloth sparingly. You may mop you bamboo floor with a very slightly damp mop but never "wet" mop. Do not walk on bamboo flooring with hard-soled or high-heeled shoes.

Bamboo flooring is installed like all solid hardwood floors, and can be installed above or below grade. It can be glued down on concrete using a urethane-based adhesive, provided the moisture level does not exceed 3 lbs/2,500 sq.ft. It can also be nailed down.
