How can I remove or repair scratches in my bamboo flooring?

I went my couch across the floor without the feet on it and one of the staples holding the upholstery on was sticking out and made a thin but long, shallow scratch on the floor. How can I fix this before I end up throwing a rug over it?

    There are a couple of factors that will determine what can be done. First – What is the polyurethane sheen (satin, semi-gloss, high-gloss) on the floor? You can find out from the manufacturer. Typically, it is a mix of satin and semi-gloss. You will need to know this in order to match a possible touch up to the poly. Second – How ancient is the floor because if it was originally semi-gloss and has been down for some time, then the sheen has faded to satin. Again you will need to know this in order to match a possible touch up poly. Third – Does the scratch only penetrate the top end or is it all the way into the stain? If its superficial, then you can use a small fine paint brush and cover the scratch. If it is into the stain, you have a bit of an issue and you should probably call a professional for color matching and possible sanding.
