I recently had some painting done, and the people who were responsible did not use anything to protect the floor from paint dripping. It also looks like they walked all over the paint, smearing it on my wood floors. See the following photo:
Now, if the paint were in little droplets I'd be able to scrape it off with a little effort. With this I'm just not sure. How can I remove all this paint from my wood floor?

How old is it? A few days and you should be able to remove it with
somea lot of elbow grease, hot water, and a non-abrasive cloth.If you own a random orbit sander (if not, go buy one) you should just put a fresh coat on the entire floor. I recommend 150 grit sand paper, and a lambs wool applicator on a pole. Try not to sand completely through the finish; you just have to open it up so it can key into the existing layer.
Try w/e you want, as long as a complete refinish is in the cards if that doesn't work - because you'll have messed up the floor trying to find out.
If all is said and done, and there's dull spots in your floor, are you going to be satisfied? Just skip straight to the part where you make it look better than it did.
