Thinner will be fast and quick, but if you dislike to use, then either try Nail polish or kerosene sure this will work.

Are you cleaning up paint spatters or a spill? Or are the floors painted and you want to return them to bare wood?





What I found that works great on spatters and spills is a product called OOPS! It's made by the same company that makes Goo Gone, a remover for that pesky label glue. I bought mine at the local hardware store. It's got a funny smell but it's not terrible. Spray the offending spots and let the product soak for awhile. Then take a razor blade and gently scrape the spots. It may very well take more than one application and scraping to get the paint off. When you get down to the last little bit, take a soft brush and scrub the area and the OOPS! will pull the paint out of the grain in most cases.





I've used this stuff to remove spatters from oak wainscoting and trim. It takes patience and a little work but it gets the job done.





If you are dealing with painted floors, the only way to remove the paint is either use a stripper or a sander and then refinish. For most people, this is not a DIY job because floor sanding is tricky.
I'm painting a newly built front porch with wood floors. I've spilt paint on the raw wood floor, and I intend to sand the paint spills. I will use a 200 grit paper and it will only take a few seconds to remove each spot.





good luck
