    Default Cleaning Floor Boards

    Hi All - I recently (3 months) had my floorboards liad and polished using a waterbase polish.

    I have had some painters over and there are a few drips (only a few) of paint on the floorbaords. The painter said it was possible to use metho or something to get the paint off - but i was concerned this might effect the boards - does anyone know if it would?

    Or have any other solution?

    Or, better still.

    I'd be getting the painter who put the paint on the floor in the first place, to show you just how good the Metho works at removing the paint spots he left behind.

    In other words, if it (the Metho) doesn't work he can work out how to fix it.

    Default Your floors

    G`day I`m a floor sander and if your going to use metho try an area such as behind the frig or stove first as a test, and you have to be quick when using it, as it may blister.
