How do you get old paint off of wood floors?

We were alittle slow on cleaning up from painting. What are some ways to get dried paint off our wood floors?
TIA!

There is something called "goof off"... read the label to make sure it can be used on wood. I am not too sure of that. But, it did remove paint from my husbands work boots.

refinish them- paint remover will take off the finish of the floor.

You can try to scrape it LIGHTLY with your fingernail or a paint scraper.

I just used my nail and it came off but we only had a few drops :)

You could also use the rough side of a damp 3M sponge (the kind for non-stick pans)...

Good luck!
