Remove paint splatters from newly varnished floorboards?

By 3stripe

So my decorator didn't cover the floor properly when he painted, and how there are tiny flecks of white paint all over the place.

Will he be able to remove it all somehow without damaging the pine floorboards?

Or is he going to have to remove the varnish/paint and re-varnish it all?

I've had a shot myself out of interest and I did remove a few wee spots with my fingernails, but it would take weeks to do it all like that!

PS. Yes I am mad at him and won't be paying up until it's fixed.

You can use a scratch pad (normally used to clean teflon pans) to remove the paint splatters.  The fresher the paint the better they work.  I don't use a lot of pressure when I use one and have never had a problem with marring the floor finish.  Good luck.
