Removing Paint From a Wood Floor

I want to remove oil based paint from wood floors that it has been on for over 50 years. My father put white paint over many nails to keep them from popping up and then put a rug on the dark brown floor.

You must be careful to make sure there is no lead in the paint. You can buy a test kit. You can cause serious dammage to kids heath if they breathe the dust from lead paint as well as your own.

RE: Removing Paint From a Wood Floor

I painted my bathroom and had paint drops all over my oak vanity. I had a bottle of rubbing alcohol sitting on the counter and tried it out of desperation. It got all the paint off and was extremely cheap and safe. (04/30/2008)
