Can this be used with hardwood floors? (bamboo is not considered hardwood)

Absolutely this is a fantastic underlayment for any flooring and is easy to work with compared to other underlayments. You can use it under any type of flooring that isn't glued directly down to subfloor such as vinyl etc... as a sound barrier even under carpet. I am a flooring professional.

I don't know for sure as I don't have wooden floors to test it, but the legs do have rubber ends, so I would think not. EDIT: they are plastic, not rubber. I don't see it making a difference, though.

I've never used it on hardwood floors, because I think it would be too slippery. I use other products on my floors like Orange Glo and specialty floor products.

Just to be clear. It is okay to use on hardwood floors? These are not laminate but they are finished.

Yes, you can. The label says, "Great for bamboo," although I've never used it on bamboo. Hope that helps!

I use them on bamboo floors all the time. They are very sturdy and stay put.

I've used it on my hardwood floors and I didn't have a problem but I think it might depend on what kind of hardwood you have or whether you actually have laminate (and how hard/soft the wood is). I used it on Bamboo and solid Oak and there weren't any problems.

We do not have any bamboo floors but we do have hardwood, carpet, and laminated hardwood. All three fare just fine with this cleaner. There are two settings - high and low, so you could set it to the low setting if you worry. However, I always have mine set to high and have not seen any damage.

Agreed, definitely NOT for hardwood. Too much water - you'll end up ruining the wood. Plus with the rotating brush, you might scratch the wood (or blemish it). This is purely for rugs/carpets.

i suppose if you are careful.....am assuming you are talking about an under layment wood surface, not any flooring, e.g. pine, oak, etc. I would use a sander instead.

I would not....it will dry out and crack eventually. I use lemon and salt and sometimes just warm water and soap. You need to oil the bamboo once in awhile as well. I use palm oil.

If the bamboo is not thick, it should work fine. I have used it on mostly on oak, which is a hardwood, and it cuts right through as long as the limb is not too thick, less than 5 inches or so.

I have used my 15 Gauge on hardwood tongue and grove and it did it's job. I have not worked with any bamboo but would not expect good results. Keep air dry and up to recommended level and oil frequently.

I am sure about using the steam mop on bamboo flooring. I haved use on both laminent and hardwood floors and have had no problem.

Yes. I really like mine and use it on laminate wood floor that is not as durable as bamboo. No problem with scratching.

Yes- althoughI use it on a carpet - I would not hesitate to use it on a wood floor. Joan

I never knew exactly what wood was used in the floors but felt safe in using Bona. The following link I picked up from the bamboo flooring site.http://www.calibamboo.com/cleaning-bamboo-flooring.htmlI hope this is great help for you. Happy polishing!!!
