    Default Dried Paint on Hardwood

    There is a bit of my floor that has some dried paint on it - the little splatter of dots from painting with a roller (I did not do this - I always wipe up when the paint is wet). What is the best way to clean this without damaging the finish on the hardwood?

    I have had that on mine also. I only used very hot water and some dawn soap. You have to do it in small sections. But it works.

    I got drops like that on my hardwood when I painted my bedroom.
    I was able to scrape them off with my fingernail.
    If it's a large area, you might be able to scrape them off with the edge of a credit card, or one of those plastic mesh scrubbies.

    Have you tried a paint scraper? I have one that I use on the laminate and it doesn't scratch.
