How do I remove spray paint from the linoleum floor in my kitchen?

I was spray painting some items in my small apartment--Yes I know you shouldn't spraypaint indoors but I did it anyway-- When I lifted the newspaper that I was spray painting on I notice that a thin layer remained on the kitchen floor around the area that was covered. What is the best way clean my floor?How do I remove spray paint from the linoleum floor in my kitchen?
If you try this first spot check your floor to be sure you won't cause any discoloration.





Westley's White Wall Tire Cleaner, sprayed on and scrubbed with a wet brush.How do I remove spray paint from the linoleum floor in my kitchen?
Depending, you should be able to get it off with a scrubber sponge. I assume you actually have sheet vinyl since linoleum hasn't been widely used since the early 70s. If it is an oil-based spray paint, and it has dried, there may not be a way to get it up. When all else fails:





Get a bucket of HOT soapy water


Wet a towel in the hot water and let it sit on the painted area for a minute or two


Scrape the area with a plastic scraper (I find the bowl scrapers you can buy at kitchen stores work best)





This is time consuming, but it has worked for me. Again, if it is oil-based paint it may not work.
use OOPS or simular product
Try some WD-40.....:)
oops, goo gone, wd-40 ,nail polish remover, or simple a magic eraser.....
Interesting options those given above...


Yet I found this WONDERFUL Mr.Clean melanine White-Sponge (#M-ScotchBrite also) that will clean almost ANYTHING from walls to floors...


It costs between $1 US and $2 US depending on the store and size








Good luck! Bear hugs! ;-)
