Hello-

I just finished painting my bedroom and I have soem paint splaters on my floor. Can someone tell me how to get these spots off of my floor?

Thanks

It would really help to know what the floor finish is.

The floors are hard wood.

Thanks

It depends on what finish is on the floor, and how easily damaged it is. I'd try a wet rag and water, my fingernail, whatever I can think of. How about a teflon spatula? There is a product called 'goof off'. But if that will damage the finish on your floor, depends on the quality of the finish. You could try it in the corner of the closet and see if it damages the floor. NOTE: I assume it is latex paint.

I would dampen the spots and use a credit card.
I would not use goof off. A little bit of mineral oil would soften it too.

I am going to try it and let you know how it works out!
