How To Remove Acrylic Paint From Wood Floor

Acrylic paint is a popular choice for artists and crafters because it is easy to use, dries quickly, and is available in a wide range of colors. However, if you accidentally spill acrylic paint on your wood floor, it can be a pain to remove. The good news is that there are a few simple steps you can follow to get the paint off without damaging the wood.

Materials you will need:

Soft cloths or rags
Warm water
Dish soap
Mineral spirits (optional)
Sandpaper (optional)

Instructions:

Wipe up the paint as soon as possible. The longer the paint sits on the wood, the harder it will be to remove. Use a soft cloth or rag to gently wipe up as much of the paint as you can.

Dry the area. Use a clean cloth or rag to dry the area thoroughly.
If there is still paint residue, you can try using mineral spirits. Mineral spirits is a solvent that can help to dissolve paint. Dip a clean cloth or rag into the mineral spirits and wring it out so that it is damp. Use the damp cloth or rag to gently wipe down the area where the paint is spilled. Be sure to work in small circles and avoid scrubbing too hard, as this could damage the wood.
