Yoho Bamboo Cleaning and Maintenance Tips
Keep Water/Humidity Exposure Low
Keep water exposure to a minimum. If you live in a humid area, choose to store your furniture inside rather than outside for extended storage or in times of non-use.
Use Linseed Oil
To maintain the luster of the bamboo, rub it every month or two with linseed or furniture oil intended specifically for bamboo. Very low humidity can cause the bamboo to crack, so applying that small amount of oil on a regular basis can be very beneficial.
Remove Dirt
As a general rule, dust, soft brush, or vacuum accumulated surface dirt before you use soap and water. After the visible dirt has been removed, wash the furniture using a soft cloth or sponge.
Use Organic Soap
To clean bamboo, use a soft cloth or sponge and mild soapy water. Wring out excess water and wipe the wood gently. Choose an organic or natural soap rather than harsh detergent, which can damage or discolor the natural sheen of the bamboo.
Keep Stains Out
If you notice a stain or liquid spilled on the furniture, clean it immediately to reduce the likelihood the stain will set and become permanent.
Don’t Sit After Cleaning
Avoid sitting on the furniture directly after it has been cleaned or when it is damp. Wet bamboo becomes soft and pliable, and can sag and warp more easily.
Remove Mold
In the event that mold develops on your furniture, clean the area thoroughly with soapy water. Gently, use the rough back of a sponge or an old toothbrush to remove all signs of mold growth. Dry the area completely to avoid recurrent fungus growth in the future.
