What To Do Before You Remove Paint

• Before you attempt to remove paint from any
  surface, you need to carefully evaluate the
  method you wish to use. Ensure it is not hard on
  the surface to prevent possible damages.
• Be sure to ventilate the room in case the paint
  produces high fumes.
• Spot test the area first before you start
  removing the paint.
• Carefully asses the type of paint spilled, so
  that you can use the best solution for removing
  it.
• Use protective gloves when removing the paint
  because the chemical substance used can be harsh
  to your skin.

Removing Paint From Wood
You need warm water to remove paint from wood
floors, especially if the paint is wet. Use warm
water with mild soap to wipe off the paint. Most
importantly work from the outside as you progress
to the center. If the paint is soft, scrap it
off the floor using a dull butter knife. For dry
paint, use a hairdryer to soften the paint. Scrap
it off and if it doesnt come out, consider
rubbing alcohol on a rag to gently remove the
paint. For stubborn paints on wood floors, it is
imperative that you use odorless mineral spirits.
This is efficient when you are removing oil-based
paint. In the event where the paint is very
stubborn, use a paint thinner. You will also need
sand to help you refinish the area with spilled
paint. These products play a significant role in
removing the paint and glazing the area.
