dissolving paint

[gusl]

Dear LJ Genie,

I would like a liquid that dissolves paint, but not the varnish on the wooden floor. Alternatively, another way to deal with specks of paint.

but I was reading my LJ friends of friends list and came across your post. I think I may be about to help. I was an apartment manager and to get paint specks off of carpets and floors we used a product called "Goof Off" it can be found at Lowes, Home Depot, Target and any number of other places.. here is a link to there website.

Thanks for the advice!

I did buy the Goof-Off, but it didn't do anything to the dried paint. I let it sit on the paint for 10 minutes, scrubbed it, but it was just like water.

I'll try the soapy water.
