How to remove paint on hardwood floors
Check to see if the paint on the floor is water based.
You can read the label on the can or look it up online. If the paint is water based, you should be able to lift it from the floor using soap and water.
If you're not sure what kind of paint it is, try using soap and water first before moving on to a harsher removal method. Add a drop of dish soap to a damp paper towel and rub the paint stain.
