Paint Cleaning Tips

Paint on Luxury vinyl flooring

6 years ago

What can I use (that will actually work) to get paint off my new luxury vinyl wood flooring? Most of the spots are latex paint, and Ive tried hot water and a steam cleaner to no avail. The paint is stuck in the grooves of the flooring. Is Turpentine ok to use? Is there another magic product out there? What about a rough scrubbing sponge?

Good Off. If that doesn’t work, but new floors.

I did get the Goof Off “paint clean up wipes”, and no, those did not work. Not sure if they are different than just regular Goof Off.

Call the manufacturer for advice.

Use the Goof Off paint clean up wipes and use a thin blade knife to press it down into the groove and carefully work back and forth to clean paint out.
