How Do You Remove Paint Spots From A Wood Floor?
To remove paint spots from a wood floor, avoid using chemical paint removal products unless it is absolutely necessary as they can damage the wood. Most wood floors are finished with a stain and a top coat which protects the wood from dirt and moisture. Be careful not to use too much water to clean up paint spots; water will soak into the the wood and raise the grain. Wipe off freshly spilled paint with a damp cloth. Use a putty knife on dried paint spots to gently scrape the spots off of the wood floor. If the paint spots are difficult to remove, use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the paint spot. Use caution when using heat on your wood floor, it can harm the finish. Apply rubbing alcohol to a non-abrasive pad. Rub the paint spot with the pad. Repeat, as necessary. Use steel wool on the paint spot. To protect the wood floor avoid scrubbing too hard. Apply acetone or nail polish remover to a cloth and rub the paint spot. Repeat, as necessary. This should be one of the last steps yo
