  • Here is a quick video of how to remove paint from your floor, (when you let your daughter paint her own room)!! So she had got paint all over her floor and we tried scraping, scrubbing, and chemicals and it was a pain to get up. Then I thought about my steamer I use to steam my clothes. Bam!!! that actually worked. So I posted this to hopefully help someone else out there with the same problem. Thanks for watching.

    Your daughter is amazing -- learning young to be handy is a gift, and your support of her desire to do it herself is laudable. She clearly knows you are just joshing her, nice way to use humor to teach responsibility and skills.

    This works!! I saw this and immediately tried it on my natural hardwood floor with paint that's been stuck on for about a decade. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but I'm thrilled. I have a few spots around the house that I just figured I'd have to live with until we had the time to refinish the floors. I'm so excited I no longer have to!
    And to those freaking out about the water on the hardwood, it sits there for literally seconds before it's wiped up and completely dry again... Relax.

    Good job for letting her do her own walls. And good job on teaching her consequences of having to clean up a her own mess.
    She did a great job and she picked a lovely color. She is less mess than I am when I paint. Hahaha
    Just a friendly suggestion from one parent to another... ( My kids are all grown up now) Look for the good in them and tell them what a good job they have done & they will rise up to meet your expectations. I know how it is to work 3rd shift and finding a mess like paint on the floors isn't fun to wake up to but praise first then ( as you did) help her discover a solution.
    Great job to your independent kiddo and good job to you Dad for helping her find a solution.

    This definitely works, what I also found was that after heating with steam, a plastic scraper can be used to dislodge the paint spot off the floor. Use plastic or some other material that is softer than the floor so there is smaller risk of scratching and coming into the spot at a relative low angle between the floor and scraper. Then use a towel or vacuum to collect the dislodged paint spots.

    Steam does work, but it's not so great for your laminate floors. Use it sparingly and wipe up any remaining moisture. Rubbing alcohol (especially the higher strength version) will soften latex paint so you can use a plastic scraper to remove it.

    Thanks, I got out my Shark steamer and it worked like a charm! 👍

      Wow, and the parquet floors look clean and new now. Really glad I saw your video! The Shark steamer is very powerful and did an amazing job too.

    I am looking at paint all over my floors. Literally painting my late mother's house, interior and exterior. If this works, I will sing your praises.😂
    Good luck at work, brotha. I worked 3rd shift for years. My circadian rhythm is still on that schedule.

      Same lmao. I had a drop cloth down and never thought that it could seep through. Just one of those things you learn as you go I guess lol
