I just did that when a messy painter repaired nail pops and dribbled latex wall paint on the bannister, granite counter, wood barstools. Didn't hurt the finish on any of them, but ate right through the paint with little effort, amazing! Thirty years ago, I read this tip in a painting booklet, and I've had good luck with it: For alkyd and other "oil" paints, use salad oil to clean up drips on washable surfaces, doesn't matter whether it's peanut, olive, safflower, etc. I've used it on previously painted trim and glass or my hands and yes, even my hair (I once pointed a spray can the wrong direction and sprayed my face!). Once I've removed the paint, I wash the oil residue with soap and water. A lot better for me than the turpentine I used to use, too. mrs.bingolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501768055429557633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-30837821078066989452013-09-02T13:47:22.512-06:002013-09-02T13:47:22.512-06:00I second the recommendation for alcohol (I use rub...I second the recommendation for alcohol (I use rubbing alcohol) to remove latex paint--even dried. Really works, as I discovered when a messy painter recently repaired some nail pops but dribbled the wall paint everywhere--bannister, granite counter, wooden bar stools. For alkyd paint, I've had good luck using salad oil on washable surfaces (like my hands and yes, my hair--I once sprayed a can of spray paint at my face), and then soap and water to remove the oil. Beat turpentine on my skin. I wouldn't use oil on something porous like the floor unless you're going for instant patina, though.mrs.bingolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501768055429557633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-18191912260543306932013-09-01T14:42:00.169-06:002013-09-01T14:42:00.169-06:00Oh hun I felt so bad for you!
