Default Removing small dabs of paint off hardwood floors

There are small dabs of semi gloss latex paint, near the baseboards, on the

I think it was from the last time someone painted it 3 years ago who wasn't
very careful, so the paint is set.

What is the best way to remove it? Get a razor blade and scrape as much of
it up? And then what? Some type of solvent?


If you can't just scrap it off (gently!) then try a product called
Goof Off. I suggest trying it in an inconspicious spot to ensure it
won't damage the finish. In most cases, you should be able to soften
up the spots just enough to remove them with damaging the floor's
finish.
