Of course, if one is keeping bedding that is soaking wet~which they shouldn't~the flooring would be compromised eventually. There is a vast difference in slightly moist(wherein it can start decomposition)and wet enough to rot floorboards. Keeping the bedding fluffed should keep the moisture from absorbing into flooring and keep it primarily in the bedding by displacing the moist pieces into the dry, creating an opportunity for moisture wicking....which is why one adds dry bedding to the old.
Been doing this for the past 6 years on an old, old, old untreated/unpainted/unstained oak floor in an ancient hen house and only cleaning out twice a year...the floor shows absolutely no breakdown or compromise.
