How stoned do you have to be to think it's ok to ask about drug paraphernalia in an open forum on the worldwide web. Plus you spelled "sick" wrong, so I reported you too.

I'd like some feedback concerning bamboo flooring?
Please let me know your experiences with bamboo flooring.
I'd like some feedback concerning bamboo flooring?
Most flooring store oversell bamboo floors as one of the hardest flooring available, truth be told they are NOT. It is similar with any natural hardwood flooring, and based on the Janka hardness rating (This is the measure of a wood floors density. Denser floors have a higher rating and are harder to gouge and indent from daily wear) Bamboo is tougher than Oak and almost as hard as Maple which is around 1380 psi. This puts it in the average rating in terms of hardness.
The finish that is applied to the floors however determines the overall wear. It does scratch and any wood floor finish will scratch, aluminum oxide is however the most scratch resistant finish available for a floor today, and there are many versions of aluminum oxide as well. It is important to use a branded version, Treffic aluminum oxide from Germany is an example.
Anyhow, there are now different types of bamboo available, Strand Woven Bamboo for one comes with a Janka hardness rating that is the same as Brazilian Walnut which is about 3000 PSI and is hard to dent, is responsible green building, and looks amazing.
Installation should not be an issue either since Bamboo floors can either be nailed/stapled, glued or floated (same as a laminate floor installation) which can go practically anywhere, except heavily wet areas of course :) Aesthetically speaking, bamboo flooring spans all design themes from traditional to ultra contemporary and certainly provides a distinct look to your home.
And the best part of it all, bamboo is affordable!
I answer the live chat for simplefloors.com so if you need any additional information on this stop by and chat with me, flooring is what I specialize in and I am happy to help out, no strings attached.
Goodluck on your project :)
Reply:Hi. I am a Project Manager for a flooring company for a living. I have sold several bamboo floors. They are VERY problematic with regards to water. If you live in a very wet (humid) climate, steer clear. Also, bamboo floors with a gloss finish scratch VERY easily.
Flooring made out of grass is generally a scary idea in my opinion. I also expect that bamboo will be a very dated look in ten years or so (like avocado green, or brick paver floors, or shag carpet).
To the plus side, bamboo is very hard and resists dents and is kind of cool looking.
DO NOT USE IN ANY WET AREAS LIKE KITCHENS OR BATHROOMS. MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL A TILE LANDING AT ALL DOORWAYS. ***VERY IMPORTANT***
Make sure that your flooring contractor properly acclimates your bamboo flooring by bringing it into the house and OPENING THE CARTONS at least 48 hours (preferably 72) before installation.
Good luck on your new flooring!!
Reply:I have found that bamboo flooring is excellant if you have no pets or kids running on it. It is very sofy and scratches very easy
Reply:We just installed a multil color bamboo floor. Colors very from med oak to mohagany. It looks and feels fantastic. The wood is very thick and durable. Ours can be sanded up to three times. We are really happy.

Where can I puchase mechanically processed Bamboo linen products, such as towels?
This is only for the caustic soda free (in manufacturing at all stages) free products. Some is marketed as Organic or natural bamboo. Most places either deflect the question ("not that bad" for the envirenment"), fail to state source, or missquote certifications (Oeko-Tex).

Have you tried this palce? It's easier to find products on-line than in the mall.

How do I get sticky price sticker residue off bamboo?
Without scratching the bamboo? I bought a bamboo platter and it had a huge sticker on it--I got most of it off, but there remains a sticky patch and I'm afraid if I start scraping it, I'll scratch up the wood. Why they couldn't put on the easily peeled off kind of sticker, I don't know.
Any suggestions for getting the sticky off?
Thanks!
How do I get sticky price sticker residue off bamboo?
eucalyptus oil, it works on metal maybe give it a try!
Reply:I am shocked no one has mentioned Goo Gone. You can get it anywhere- Wal Mart, Lowes, etc. It is often in the household cleaning isles as well as in hardware or automotive isles.
It safely removes sticker residue off of everything I have used it on. I have used it on wicker so I wouldn't think bamboo would be any different. Just saturate a cotton ball with it, place it right on the sticky area for a few minutes and it then just wipe off the sticky. Follow with a damp rag then dry.
You will find you use it for everything! It's great to remove the sticky residue sometimes left on stainless appliances by the sticky protective film sheets they apply at the factory. Ever tried removing the unsightly tags from lamp or appliance cords? You are left w/ sticky residue that attracts dust. Goo Gone takes care of that too.
Reply:lighter fluid ,adhesive remover, WD-40
Reply:A product called E-Z Take Away, I think it's made by the PB Blaster (penetrating oil) people. E-Z Take Away Sticker %26amp; Adhesive Remover. Nothing like it
Reply:Goo Gone or Goof Off. They are the same products basically.
Sometimes just soaking it will loosen the stickey too. It depends on the type of glue. If you don't want to submerge to get the residue off, you can lay a wet cloth on it for a few hours and see if that changes anything.
Reply:try rubbing alcohol it works for me
Reply:Orange oil is great for removing sticky residue... it smells good too!
Reply:eucalyptus oil works on pretty much everything. Just put a bit on a rag and rub it on the residue. It will come off really easily. I have heard that baby oil works too.
Reply:you could use tar remover it removes more than just tar it takes off glue and most things that are sticky

What can i use to kill bamboo plants?
My neighbor has bamboo plants that are like 30 foot tall. They are wild and out of control. Every year they spread out more and more and now they are on myside of the property line fence. They are in my way and destroying my yard. They are litterally taking over.please help!
What can i use to kill bamboo plants?
you have a major issue and you might want to think about making your neighbor take responsibility. This stuff is so bad is website devoted to fighting it lol they call it DAMNboo and have all the ways there to fight it http://www.killingbamboo.org/how-to-kill...
that said basically you can contain with barrier or fight. you can add weed killers but i think that mainly just makes fight take longer.
1 contain
If bamboo has been planted without root barrier and is now growing where you don’t want it, you have several choices. The choices all start out with digging a trench about 3 feet deep around the area where you want the bamboo to grow. You can then install root barrier, pour concrete at least three inches thick or fill the trench with loose gravel. You can rent trench digging machines at equipment rental stores. Root barrier is available from larger nurseries. It comes in very long rolls, should be at least 0.040 inch thick and about three feet high. Expect it to cost between $1 and $2 per foot. If you choose root barrier or concrete, you should leave an inch or two above ground level to make it easier to find the roots that try to escape over the top of the barrier. If you choose the loose rock fill, you will have to use a sharp spade at the beginning of every growing season to cut down into the trench and sever any new roots that try to cross the trench.
2 fight
Rhizomes that have already extended outside their area can be dug up. If that isn’t practical, continue to knock over all new shoots you see for the next few seasons, once the rhizomes are severed from the main plant, and the rhizomes will eventually die.
1. Cut it off. All of the culms (stalks) of bamboo in a clump or grove are interconnected underground by rhizomes (underground stems) unless you have cut them by digging a ditch or cutting a line with a spade. A bamboo grove is usually one single plant, not a group of plants. Many people have the impression that every bamboo culm is a separate “tree.”
If the bamboo in your yard has come across from your neighbor’s yard, separate your grove from his by cutting the connecting rhizomes, which are usually quite shallow. If you don’t, and his part is healthy and vigorous, the rhizomes in your part will still be supported by the photosynthesis in the leaves of his part, and your efforts will be in vain. On the other hand, if you do manage to kill your part with a herbicide you may also kill his part. Lawsuits or at least hard feelings can result.
Therefore, be sure to isolate the portion you want to keep from the portion you want to kill. Cutting rhizomes with a spade or a saw will do the trick if you do it every year. If the growth is old, you may need to use a mattock or a digging bar the first time. Digging a ditch and putting in a barrier* is a more permanent solution.
2. Cut it down
Cut the grove to the ground. All of it. If there is any part you want to keep, see (1).
3. Water and fertilize the area, to cause new growth.
4. Cut it down again. And again.
New shoots will come up from the rhizomes. Break them off or cut them off with pruning shears. Keep doing this until no more shoots come up. This will exhaust the energy stored in the rhizomes underground. Without green leaves to photosynthesize and produce new energy, they will no longer be able to send up new shoots. The rhizomes will be left behind, but will rot away.
That’s all you need to do. You need a saw, a pair of pruning shears, and patience, and maybe a spade and/or mattock. The widely advertised herbicides don’t work well on bamboo, probably because so much of the plant is underground. Since cutting the bamboo down will do the trick, and you have to cut the bamboo down anyway to remove it from your yard, herbicides are a waste of time and money in this case.
Reply:You can Roundup what sprouts in your yard, but bamboo is one of the toughest plants in the world. The methods of eradicating it wouldn't work, if the bamboo has a home base in your neighbor's yard. It will just keep coming back.
The bamboo in our yard in Hawaii died, but that was because the whole yard was denied water for a year. It was kind of a desert area, so reverted to bare dirt.
Reply:Round-up will most definetly kill it if you get all the sprouts. It will kill what ever it touches so be aware of what it touches. There are different strengths available as well. If Round up doesn't kill it then you have martian bamboo...:)) In addition Roundup dissipates in a day or two so you can replant quickly if needed.
Reply:Yup Roundup
But not ALL bamboo is invasive!!!!!!!! There are hundreds of non invasive clumping bamboo that are well behaved, even in cold climates (Fragesia sp.)
The other answerers should not tell everybody its bad and will ruin your yard, you just dont know there are differnt kinds of bamboo that will not do that
Reply:fire. Bamboo is a pest and so are your neighboors. Bamboo should be planted in containers. You may have grounds to make them take responsiblity for the bamboo in your yard. Bleach may work, give it a try, otherwise you will have to dig the bamboo out, constantly
Reply:machine gun. or mortar. flamethrower. hand grenade. all of these will pretty much demolish bamboo. if those products are inaccessible try digging the bamboo up at the roots.
Reply:Just have a word with your neighbour. If you can't do that cut the plants short and cover them with plastic bags. Bamboos love water so if they can't get it they'll die.
Reply:Maybe if you have me over I can kill them. I never have any luck with bamboo. (btw who the heck ever said they were easy to care for... they lied :( )
Sorry, I didn't help much.

Do you have to keep your bamboo in soil and how do u fertalize it?
my moms friend just gave her a bamboo plant in a vase with just water in it then i did some research and some sites say to use soil and some sites dont then some say to fertalize and some sites dont so if anybody truly knows then please help
Do you have to keep your bamboo in soil and how do u fertalize it?
If your moms plant is in plain water with a few marbles at the bottom of the vase your mom doesn't have a bamboo plant, but a "look alike" plant. These plants usually have three or more bamboo looking stalks in a vase. If this is what your mother has then no special care is required. Leave it in a sunny window, and make sure it has enough water in the vase. When the water gets cloudy, or green from algae change the water.
Real bamboo seedlings would be in soil, and is in the grass family.
Reply:i have a pot of lucky bamboo I have had for 9 years it is huge and it lives in only water and rocks , bamboo spreads and quickly so remember that when planting
Reply:Bambu will spread rapidly. Put it in a shallow pot with dirt and watch how fast it fills it up. Water often and well.
Reply:Please say LUCKY bamboo because it is not bamboo at all. It is a slow growing lilly of the Draceana genus. You can plant it in soil if you want, it will not speard like crazy.
Even REAL bamboo will not spead like crazy if it is clumping bamboo. Bamboo got an invasive reputation by people planting running bamboo and knowing nothing about its characteristics.
