Is the backing safe for hardwood floors? I know the bamboo would be, but many backings/pads tend to discolor hardwood floors.

so far so good, they work really well on my floors, no discoloration, and no trip hazard

Not sure what the backing is made of, seems to be a thin fabric coated with a waterproofing coating and tiny non-slip dots. Order one and see. Easily returned!

I have it in my bathroom and it is holding up very well. I have hardwood flooring in the bathroom and not worried about the backing at all. It really is non skid the few drops of water have not hurt it at all. It lies very flat. I have taken it up to mop the floor and no discoloration.

I wish I could help but I don't have hardwood floors. I have them on ceramic tile. It is not a rubber backing...more like a mesh, if that helps?

It looks like it should be. There's nothing sticky or tacky - just kind of a black sort of light mesh with little bumps. Nothing like the nonskid backs of some rugs.

A type of black mesh fabric with little non skid type dots. That's my best description.

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!!!

There is a smooth surface that I believe would be safe for hardwood floors... however if it were me placing this bed on a hardwood floor I would glue felt squares to that surface for even more protection.

Yup. Just got the DC28 Animal and used the 'bare floor' setting on my bamboo floors. it scratched em up real good! Using the machine on the "low carpet" setting seems to be better, but I'm a nervous wreck when I use it.

What kind of spots? Shoes? Dirt?I really like this product and I have used it on many different types of floors and they all looked good. When my bottle starts to run low, I add a bit of water and for some reason... It works even better. And to answer your question... Yes! It does a good job on bamboo floors. What I do is I put the product in a spray bottle. I go around spraying the floors (it starts softening the dirt and grime) and then I use a damp bona pad. It never fails.

Yes. I have mostly hardwood in my home and it's great. But, as I mentioned in my review, I don't like the new shag style floor pads as well as the old quilt textured pads. The new ones leave marks on my floor so I immediatly wipe the floors down with a towel. It takes a little bit more time but it's pretty easy since the Shark doesn't leave a lot of water on the floors anyway.

I just used one layer with my bamboo flooring. This paper is really only for moisture control, not padding, but two layers would certainly do no harm.

I'm not a pro, but traditionally hardwood flooring is laid over rosin paper or asphalt felt paper. I did read on the internet that plastic sheeting should NOT be used with hardwood floors and Robert's Super Felt definitely has plastic sheeting on one side. It says that plastic sheeting traps moisture which I guess is not good for hardwood flooring. I would definitely investigate this further, it might be a mistake to use this product with hardwood flooring.

I use it on my wooden deck every time and I've not had a problem. It doesn't even discolor it. Get a sheet of cement backer-board (used under floor tiling) to put underneath if you're worried.

I don't know about bamboo however I used it on our hardwood floors (not bamboo). At first it is beautiful but it doesn't stay like that.

I've used mine heavily for a few months now on hardwood floors. There is no residue or discoloration under the mat. Make sure you keep the shiny side down against the flooring.

Yes - it is actually recommended for bamboo floors according to the company that installed mine. http://www.calibamboo.com/cleaning-bamboo-flooring.html

No Jim there is no backing as the rugs are reversible. This is nice if company is coming, you can just flip them over and voila you have a clean rug! I have not had trouble with the rugs slipping on tile floors.

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

I used mine on hardwood, so not sure about bamboo! sorry! have you thought about a steam mop! I have one now and like it much more..easier too!

Yes. It's sturdy bamboo that is a natural water resistant wood. Natural body oils (from your feet) also helps keep it resilient. If not used too often, just lightly swab it on BOTH sides with olive oil.

Bamboo is not as dense of a wood as hickory or oak, for which the tool works well. However, appropriately lowering pressure of the attached compressor should work, providing the flooring is tongue-and-groove material, thickness of which corresponds to one of the bases provided with the tool. My recommendation would be to query the flooring manufacturer about proper tools and techniques for installation.
