- 1). Run your fingers across the scratch to determine if it feels like a deep scratch or if the scratch is flush with the wood's surface. Purchase a stain stick for wood floors at a local home improvement store or commercial wood flooring store. Make sure the stain stick's color matches the bamboo wood's color by taking a small piece of the bamboo flooring into the store with you. Stain sticks come in a wide array of wood colors to match any wood surface.
- 2). Run the stain stick across the surface of any minor surface scratch. A stain stick will successfully hide a scratch that is flush with the wood's surface and not a deep gouge. The stick will blend away the scratch and reduce its appearance.
- 3). Fill in a scratch that feels deep using wood putty. Rub the putty into the scratch. Allow the putty to dry. Once dried, you can lightly sand it with sandpaper until it feels smooth.
- 4). Color the dried wood putty using a stain pen. Lightly paint polyurethane across the stain pen markings. The polyurethane will help seal in the area and prevent damage.
