Removing paint from hardwood
floors

Q. After I just finished my hardwood
floors, I had to touch up the baseboards a little. I taped
the floors but the paint still bled onto the floors. How do
I keep this from happening and what is the best product/way
to remove the paint without damaging the new coat?
A: The best way is to wipe the paint right away with
a damp cloth. Use a metal paint guide or painters shield and
trim brush. Paint can be wiped from the floor with a rag,
rinsing as needed. You can use Goof Off to remove dried latex
paint from the floor. The best tape to use is painter's tape.
3M makes a few that can be removed in varying lengths of time.
Follow the directions on the tape. It is recommended to remove
standard painter's tape before the paint is completely dry.
