Paint is a transformative medium. With just a brush and a can of paint, you can dramatically change the look of a room or create a masterpiece on canvas. Unfortunately, the paint often lands in spots it shouldn't, including on wood floors.
Ideally, you catch the problem immediately and use a rag to wipe the paint off the wood floor while it is still damp. Usually, though, you find the drip only after it has dried. With just a few supplies and a little patience, you can usually remove the paint without damaging the floor.
Stripping paint from wood furniture or surfaces is a much bigger undertaking that involves sanding, a chemical stripper, or using dry heat or steam. If you're tackling a DIY project, be prepared to spend some time and elbow grease to strip away the paint so the item can be restored.
