What mop are you getting for it? Is it the same as timber i.e. Can't let water sit on it for too long? Our floors are pretty feral too. Hardly cleaned them since we moved in, just a vacuum here and there lol First Build, Commodore Homes, Honeywood, Wandi. viewtopic.php?t=77170 Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2162Dec 07, 2015 12:57 pm They are so nice! We initially wanted bamboo, and now we are thinking polished concrete, but I just love the look of wood floors! So confusing! Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2163Dec 07, 2015 1:00 pm I got a sabco mop I think you use the same one? Well I got the idea from you anyway so if not it's similar haha yep can't wet them, but I'm going to mop them with a damp mop and wood floor cleaner. I soaked a bit of board for 24 hours and it handled it pretty well so a damp mop won't do anything! The mop has a dry pad and a wet pad I just went over it with the dry one and a lot of the dusty foot prints are gone yay Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70984 Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2164Dec 07, 2015 1:18 pm Just some advice with bamboo floors, all good, microfibre mop excellent to take the dust off before cleaning , ,otherwise its liking sanding the floor with dust still on. You will find the best product to clean bamboo floor and ive tried some 15-20 different cleaners including vinegar solutions is BONA WOOD FLOOR CLEANER , use it 1-2 times a week and no residue left, ,just spray it on and use wet microfiber pad, , works brilliantly, can buy from specialist outlets; get info from bona website Australia to find where in your area. Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2165Dec 07, 2015 1:47 pm I was just going to suggest the same thing as Joker, we are getting the Bona wood cleaner and their special spray mop... makes cleaning so much easier. The mop has a cartridge that you put the cleaner into and then while you are moping you pull the trigger on the mop and it sprays the wood cleaner out onto the floor. Their wood cleaner is non-toxic too. The flooring company we are going through sell the cleaner and mops, I can't wait to try it! Your dining setting is soooooo nice Archetto- I LOVE it... Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2166Dec 07, 2015 2:58 pm I have the method wood floor cleaner so I'll see how that goes first then look into the bona one when if runs out/if no good. Thanks Thank Jelbell I absolutely love it! Wish a photo would capture how it really looks haha Our build thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70984 Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2167Dec 07, 2015 3:24 pm Love your dining setting arch it is so nice to see different dining tables and chairs, I find so many people have the same ones lately...all over Instagram I feel like I see the same house a zillion times a day with the same furniture lol (not that that's a bad thing of course)..

I think a dishwasher is one of the most exciting parts of our build, currently we are renting and the place doesn't have a provision for a dishwasher and we are totally over washing up by hand Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2171Dec 07, 2015 6:40 pm Yeah sucks as we just plumbed it in! But even worse was after I was googling and realized the model on our invoice they were due to deliver tomorrow is actually wrong too!! Lucky I checked as we would of gone through the same process again and it's a $300 cheaper model too so would of been ripped off!

Love the dining table and the theatre feature wall, you wouldn't think black would look good but yours is great. Our building journey viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77582 Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!!

Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2178Dec 08, 2015 11:12 am Your house is looking beautiful I love your floors and your dining room table (where did you get it from?) Such a shame about the clean up though, you would think with all the money you paid, they would do a lot better job... My Home Group build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77067 Re: Our Ben Trager Build - KEYS!! Floor sneak peak :) 2179Dec 08, 2015 1:17 pm The builder is organising a professional cleaner to attend to do a full clean once we have finished all our works inside so that will make up for that mess it was handed to us in. The table is from Nick Scali (table name is Anja Dining Table) and the chairs are from At Home Furniture (chairs called Harvey Dining Chairs).

Two of my fave stores!! Great new about the cleaner. Least they could do! "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23896 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17602 |
