Bamboo is one of the strongest building materials available, so you can be sure that your bamboo furniture will last a long time. But like all furniture, it will last longer and look better with a bit of care and maintenance.

The most important thing to remember to keep your bamboo furniture like new is regular dusting. This will prevent dust from settling into the joints and make cleaning easier in the long run.

If you want to do a more thorough cleaning, use a rag or a sponge soaked in some warm soapy water to wipe it down. Make sure to avoid harsh chemicals or bleach as these have the potential to stain or discolour the finish. Dish soap is usually the best option for this task.

Once that's finished, rinse off your bamboo furniture with a clean wet rag or sponge to remove any left over soap and allow it to air dry. Afterwards you can apply a furniture oil that is specifically suited to bamboo or linseed oil to prevent it from drying out and cracking. This will also give your furniture a nice shine.

As with all furniture, make sure that spills and messes are cleaned immediately to avoid hard to remove stains or permanent damage. By following these easy steps you'll be able to enjoy your beautiful bamboo furniture for years to come!
