I was varnishing a door and some of the varnish must have spilled onto the laminate flooring. I walked through it and over the floor. How can i get this off?

Too bad you didn't act on it as soon as you noticed it. Paint thinner would have cleaned it right off. I assume it is dry by now but there is still hope. The varnish is still not fully cured as the finish on your flooring. Now this will take finess and patience but get a paint remover (not thinner) and lacquor thinner. Start with 4 parts lacquor thinner to 1 part paint remover and wet it lightly onto a clean cotton cloth. Rub lightly over the varnish and see if any come off. If not leave a thin film of the solution on the varnish and let it set for 5 minutes then try rubbing again. If it doesn't do anything, decrease the ratio, 3 to 1 next and try again.
Good luck.
