    Goof Off is great for latex.Let it ooften, then use a plastic scraper, like the edge of a credit card, to finish the job. If some paint is still in the wood grain, put a little Goof Off on a rag and use ellbow grease.

    Most solvents for alkyd or oil paints may affect the polyurethane finish on your floor. Best bet for oil-based is mechanical removal. Use a sharp wood chisel or razor blade to shave the droplet of the floor.

    I prefer a chisel as you can use the bevel of the blade and slide it along the floor to keep the cutting edge parallel to the floor. Much less chance of gauging the finish that way.

    If there is not a lot then I would use some good old fashion elbow grease, I had the same problem and a friend told me to use finger nail polisher remover the non actone kind, BUT I would do this in an area that is hidden if possible.

    Here is a link thawt may help but please remember it is always best to consult with a license electrician in your area. I had my junction boxes moved and the cost was very reasonable.
