We have got a few paint stains (whitle emulsion) on a oiled hardwood real
oak floor. The paint is several days old now.

We've tried white spirt, hot water, wickes decorators wipes but they all
tend to spread the stain, rather than get rid of it. The floor is only a
couple fo weeks old and, frankly, I'm pulling my hair out over this.
Anyone able to suggest anything?

Meths., and copious amounts of plain white kitchen
towel. Meths. actually dissolves emulsion paint. As
it's oiled, hopefully the paint won't have penetrated
the grain. Treat plenty of area, don't just scrub the
spots. Rub in some more oil after.

You should either have wiped it off immediately before it dries, with
a damp cloth , or wait until very dry and then lift off with hot air
gun.
