You're on the right track. The only secret is; don't put a screw or nail into your sidelite.

I know someone out there is a flooring specialist. We installed bamboo in our addition. I've currently been cleaning with micro-fiber mop and a spray bottle of water. It cleans it okay, but you can still see smudges and such from certain angles (nothing super noticeable, but you definitely see them when looking at a more acute angle).

I've read mixed reviews on Orange Glo, Bonniva, and other cleaning systems for bamboo (some people basically said that it ruined their bamboo). Anyone have any solid knowledge? (and yes, I know this should go in the House Bitch Corner, not Handy Man).

My remodel project was finished about a month ago.

I've got a couple of trees to remove and some landscaping....and I'm calling my castle-revitalization project, complete.

I think I'm going to move my focus to buying some land and a 5 year plan to build new.

This year its screened in porch,back porch, caulk,paint inside and out. Next year its new roof, then floors.

Place is almost 100 years old. Needs some real TLC.

Stop looking at your bamboo from certain angles. I have about 1000 sqft of bamboo in my house. We don't do anything special. But we're not crazy neat freaks either.

I honestly think that it will probably look better as it wears a little bit. Because it's so clean and new, I notice every little imperfection.

Indeed. It will take on a small patina.

I believe that RJ is a flooring guy. You might try sending a PM.

Dude, do NOT use Orange Glow or Murphy's or anything like that if it's a factory finished bamboo. Is your micro fiber pad a Bona-KemI? If so, keep using it and don't worry about an occasional streak. The Bona won't hurt your floor, the other stuff will.

Also, have you checked the manufacturer's website? Most of them have a care and maintenance page. That's the best advice to go buy. Follow their instructions and you won't have to worry about voiding the warranty on the finish.

FYI, I seem to talk to a few folks every year who are trying to figure out how to un-fuck up their wood floors after cleaning them with the wrong products.
