Mineral spirits rubbed gently.


Or go to paintremoval.com- they have alot of Safe products.
This may not be real easy to do. If you can get the paint off, the finish will probably come with it. Then, you can refinish the wood by following the directions on the product (you can get from various home stores). From the website listed below come the following excerpt:





How do I remove paint on my hardwood floors? There are splatters everywhere! Also, how do I go about re-sanding and re-sealing those hardwood floors professionally? - Messy Painter


Dear Messy Painter,


How you remove the paint depends on how embedded it is in the wood. If the stains are on the surface you can wipe them away with paint remover applied with a paint brush, using light brush strokes. You can also use stain removing products. If the stain is deep into the wood then gently rub with a fine grit sandpaper. Go slow. Be patient. That done, sand and refinish the floors. You can sand and reseal the floors yourself and still have a “professional” look simply by taking your time and reading the directions on the product packages and the equipment guidebook. You can rent sanding equipment and materials from the hardware store. Neighborhood hardware stores always seem to have people with great advice and experience if you need a live body. Talk with them. One important tip when using a power sander is to keep the sander moving. If you rest in a spot you can gouge the floor.

I would use some of that Goof Off that you can get at Lowes. But I would use a small amount and wipe it clean with water as soon as I get the paint off. I know that stuff says not to use on surfaces like that, but I do all the time and always immediately mop my wood floors with water and/or hardwood cleaner and it is fine. Good luck.
