How To Get Satinwood Paint Off Laminate Flooring

Satinwood paint is a popular choice for interior woodwork and furniture, but it can be a nightmare to remove if it gets on your laminate flooring. The good news is that there are a few simple steps you can take to remove satinwood paint from laminate flooring without damaging the surface.

Materials You'll Need

Soft cloths or rags
Dish soap
Rubbing alcohol
Mineral spirits
Nail polish remover (optional)

Steps to Remove Satinwood Paint from Laminate Flooring

Start by wiping the paint with a damp cloth. This will help to loosen the paint and make it easier to remove.
If the paint is still not coming off, apply a small amount of dish soap to a damp cloth and rub it over the paint. Let the soap sit on the paint for a few minutes, then wipe it away with a clean cloth.
If the dish soap doesn't work, try using rubbing alcohol. Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball or soft cloth and rub it over the paint. Let the rubbing alcohol sit on the paint for a few minutes, then wipe it away with a clean cloth.
If the rubbing alcohol doesn't work, you can try using mineral spirits. Mineral spirits are a powerful solvent, so they should be used with caution. Apply a small amount of mineral spirits to a cotton ball or soft cloth and rub it over the paint. Let the mineral spirits sit on the paint for a few minutes, then wipe it away with a clean cloth.
If the mineral spirits don't work, you can try using nail polish remover. Nail polish remover is a very strong solvent, so it should be used as a last resort. Apply a small amount of nail polish remover to a cotton ball or soft cloth and rub it over the paint. Let the nail polish remover sit on the paint for a few minutes, then wipe it away with a clean cloth.

Tips

Always test the cleaning solution on a small area of the laminate flooring first to make sure it doesn't damage the finish.
Don't use abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes on laminate flooring, as this can scratch the surface.
If the paint is still not coming off after trying all of the methods above, you may need to call a professional floor cleaner.
