will the backing of this bamboo mat stain the floor?

No, the backing will not stain the floor --- we use two bamboo mats in the kitchen so they occasionally get wet and there is no problem with staining.

No. You might need somerhing to keep it from sliding around. I used double stock tape with a ten-pound capacity. amds thay worked

Didn't stain ours but also didn't prevent it from moving around. We finally threw it out.

No. I have mine on a carpeted area in front of french doors leading outside which are used several times each day and there is no problem with any staining under the mat.

The back of the mat has extruded spikes (~1/8 inch) made of the polycarb material that somewhat grip the carpet. These could scratch a wood floor.(depending on where you are placing your mat, you could just place some old carpet or even a folded towel under the floor section to prevent any scratching. it will also help to level out the transition between the floor and carpet.)

My tabletop is black and it has never stained. Its a tile-top so if it stains i would just suggest like one of those clorox sponges or you could even use a scouring pad but lightly because its almost impossible to scratch the tile.

It is the same color throughout. Not a different color on the bottom. I don't think that you will have any problem with staining. I have tile floors and have put them on top of wet floors and never any problems. These are awesome mats and look really nice. Happy Holidays

I am using the mat on concrete, so I'm not sure if it would stain carpet, but I don't believe it would. I would ask the manufacturer to be sure.

Not at all. There is a cat in the household with extremely sharp nails and she has not damaged the mat. It holds it shape perfectly despite constant traffic and does not appear to stain.

I have seen a lot of rugs discolor hardwood floors so I would be careful with what ever rug you use.

I use it on my wooden deck every time and I've not had a problem. It doesn't even discolor it. Get a sheet of cement backer-board (used under floor tiling) to put underneath if you're worried.

I use it on plush carpet. It slips a little, but I move it back with a quick tug. Doesn't hurt the workouts. No stains after months of using it

Yes. I have bamboo flooring on the main level of my house and have been using the product for about a year.

Yes, I think so. The material is a stiff but thin, hard plastic so lay it in the tub before removing the backing to judge whether it can conform to the curves. If in doubt I wouldn't hesitate to cut out a small half moon circle or wedge for the drain, or cut the mat into sections, to insure the mat adheres and does not bubble or curl. Small cutouts or gaps would not significantly impair the non-skid properties, as long as some part of your foot is on the mat. It's a terrific, durable product that's easy to clean & provides superb footing.

I have the brown one & have not seen any staining on my floor. I have a light colored tile.

Yes. Also, if you have laminate or hardwood, this mat will ruin your flooring.

Probably. I have mine on padded floor tiles, so I don't know for sure about the reverse side. But when I'm using it barefoot, I get my feet turn black from the residue on the top.

I think if its tile floor or vct tile no problem but if its mastic glueNo you need to use remover like a striper so you can stain

Yes, we bought the teak oil with it and it soaked it right up. There is not a sheen on the bamboo which would prohibit you from staining it.

I do not know why you would want to place something on the rubber backing. I would venture to say that if you did, you would in all probability destroy the material.The mat is intended to have items hot items placed on its top side, which does not destroy the rubber material on the bottom.
