Solid Hardwood, Engineered and Laminate Flooring - Paint Stains on Wooden Flooring

I recently took an apartment which has lovely wooden floors throughout, with a medium - dark stain.

Previous occupants painted the walls and ceilings with absolutely no regard to the flooring and as a result, it is covered in white paint spots, ranging from small to very large.

Can you advise of a product available on the market that will lift the paint stains without damaging the wood, or any other method of removing these stains?

I would appreciate your response very much.

Thank you again,

Charles

You can try Zylene (Goof Off) on dried Latex paint.

Goof Off comes in a rather small container so you might try it first. Try it in an inconspicuous place first to see if it affects the dark floor stain.

If it does remove the finish and darker stain you may be in for a refinishing job on the hardwood. Only sanding would remove the dried paint splats.
