I have bamboo floors

I pet sit dogs and sometimes urine gets on the floor and heavy dogs scratch the finish. I was told to clean with Windex. I've started cleaning with vinegar, water, and a touch of Pine Sol for scent. It removes odors but I have dull spots. Any help on keeping my floors clean, shiny and should I refinish them to remove the nail marks?

The pine sol is what made the dull spots.I have laminate flooring all though with three dogs. I only use vinegar and water.It keeps a nice shine and the vinegar gets rid of the urine smell.

I have bamboo flooring and was told never to use anything other than BONA liquid floor cleaner....I have an 80lb Labrador and no scratches....have the dog owner have her dogs toenails DREMELED so they arent so long. GOOD LUCK....Bamboo is not supposed to scratch under normal wear....

I dont have to put anything on the floor. Keep lightly going over the floor with the vinegar and water solution until you get the pinesol off.

I found out the HARD way as no one told me how to clean my bamboo floors and they now look horrible. Vinegar or any other cleaners are a BIG no-no....a damp floor mop (damp, not wet!) such as a microfiber mop is the best bet.
