Suggestions for removing paint?

Hey there

Can anyone help?

Have done a spot of painting but there are some spots of paint on our polished wood flooring - how can I remove it?

Also paint on tiles - how can that be removed?

Please help!

as long as the tiles are smooth, you should be able to use a stanley blade to scrape it off.

As for the wood, if it's smooth you could try the blade or a mild detergent, depends on what paint you've spilt really.

It's all water based paint....will give the detergent and blade a go - before my OH gets back though so I can blame it on the cat if anything goes wrong!!

Thanks for your reply!

Try using wet wipes...... these worked a treat when I managed to redecorate my bedroom carpet as well as walls....

hope it helps....:j

Have given the blades and baby wipes a go - it's getting there! Thanks for the advice!

Baby oil is a good one, it helped me remove nail polish from my leather sofa. And I am sure that is what Kim and Aggie used to remove paint from a window, unless I am going completely mad tonight.
