Paint splatters on old wooden floors - best product to remove?

[Guest]

Paint splatters! We have little blobs of paint (both old and new) on our wooden floors. What’s the best product to get it up? The floor is very old.

I mop it with soapy water and then scrape lightly with an eftpos card.

i pried mine off with one of my daughters plastic craft tools - doesn't scrape the wood. The really hard ones got wafted with a hair drier to soften them.

I paint without a studio, so always having to clean up floor. Best thing - get graffiti remover from hardware shop. I usually use steel wool and dip it in the remover. Use gloves and mask. Careful not to scratch if it’s wood.

Use circular motions. Need a bit of elbow grease - I use it as a workout!

Razor blade gently & metho or paint cleanup.

I had lots of solvent based paint on our floor so used a green scrubber sponge and metho but rub gently so you don't take the finish off the floor.

Is it water based? Sugar soap and elbow grease. I lightly scraped with a paint scraper and most of my blobs came right off (laminate)

Baby wipes, plastic scraper or credit card.
