If the paint is latex, Goof-Off will remove it easily.
BUT and it is a big but, it may also attack or remove the finish on the
floor. If you don't succeed with mechanical removal and want to try
chemical, try a little test in a place that won't show.

The last painter didn't use a drop cloth, so there are lots of little
specks of paint on the nice hardwood floor. Until last week, we had
it mostly covered with a rug. The finish of the floor is okay - I
just want to clean the little specks.

Ideas? Thanks in advance. Gail
