How do I remove white paint droppings from a hardwood floor?

Question

I recently just moved in an apartment that has hardwood floors. When they were painting they left a couple of droppings in every room of the house and I'm hoping and praying this is not a hands and knees type of job. But nothing has worked so far bleach, wax, Fabuloso, kitchen cleaner with bleach, NOTHING!!

Please help my floors have even lost its shine due to the chemicals.

Answer 1

Nailpolish remover or rubbing alcohol, let it soak a litle, then if it all doesnt dissolve then you can scrape the rest off once it has softened up. The wash the floors with Murphy's Oil, and use a floor wax after that to restore shine. Good luck, hope this helps.

Answer 2

At this point, you need to ask the nice people at Home Depot. They'll tell you that Latex paint is water soluable, even when dry, and then you'll have to admit that you've used every chemical known to man.

They can explain to you how to remove the spots, re-stain and re-seal, if necessary; don't be afraid, it can easily be done! And, it will be a kind of adventure for you. It's NOT ruined!!

Answer 3

if you've already knackered your floor floor from using chemicals then it might be a good idea to hire an industrial sander and take the wood back to it original finish then re-varnish.it costs a few quid and its hard work but the result is worth the effort.i did it in my house and it looks ace!

Answer 4

I would try a little turpentine (or paint thinner) on the paint spots...This should thin and weaken the paint. Then wipe or gently scrape the paint off.

Answer 5

Goof-Off Then Johnsons paste wax

shine the floors to look brand new. If you need more help, go to Lowe's or Home Depot .
