Q: I have recently put bamboo flooring in my living room. I accidentally dragged something across the floor that made a dent about ¼ wide, and not very deep (only enough to see).
Is there anything you can recommend to bring it up?
A: There really is nothing that can be done to remove this groove. Even sanding does not “bring up” the groove, but removes the flooring around it so that the rest of the board is cut down to the same level as the groove.
