For instance, in the case of outdoor furniture, it’s important to keep water exposure to a minimum. In the case of indoor furniture and other features, make sure you apply oil every one or two months to prevent cracks and to maintain the luster. When cleaning surfaces made of bamboo, use a soft cloth, a sponge and mild soapy water. Organic or natural soaps are preferred.
Keep in mind that bamboo can sag and warp more easily when it’s damp so don’t sit on a bamboo chair or other similar surface immediately after cleaning it to prevent damage. In case you find cracks, you can easily repair these by gently sanding the area with some fine grit sandpaper and then applying some paste wax over the damaged area. This will help recondition the color and the tone of the wood.
