Someone had the wall of his house painted again. There is some lacquer falling on the bamboo flooring. And the lacquer hasn’t been removed for a long time. It has become solid and attached the floor firmly. He wonders how to remove the lacquer.

Below are some ways he can follow to do the clean work:

(1) Don’t use steel ball to rub the “lacquered” area. Also don’t use strong alkali or acid or cleanser to get ride to the lacquer as these ways will make the color of the touched area quite different from other flooring place and affect its look.

 (2) Use moist mop to soften the dirty lacquer. Scratch the lacquer with a knife. Avoid the edge of knife to scrape bamboo flooring as it is not strong abrasion resistant. Then use mop to get rid of the separate lacquer. For the left lacquer, wet it with acetone as acetone can dissolve the left lacquer. But the quantity of acetone can’t be too much is this type of floor is water proof. Get ride of the acetone as soon as the lacquer is got ride of.

I would not use anything sharp, no knife, blade or anything like this.Sharp tools will scrach the floor for sure.
Just use some kind of paint thinner, acetone anything to clean the paint but make sure DO NOT  use products that can take off the finish of the bamboo.
Make some tests in the closet or other hidden area.
