How do I remove paint from a painted wood floor?
Landlord painted over a great wood floors. I want to remove it and redo floors. What is the quickest/easiest way to do this? Also do not want to use too many chemicals because I have pets and my apartment is loft style so I cannot close off this areas.
Be very careful about deciding to do this. It’s a big job whether you use paint stripper or a sander or both, and it’s possible that the paint has soaked into the wood which means you’ll have to sand an awful lot to get back to bare wood. Are you sure you want to put that much work into a rental place? How does your landlord feel about it? There must be some reason the floors got painted in the first place. After the paint is gone, you will then have to finish the floor. If you varnish it, you’re looking at an absolute minimum of 3 coats and a minimum of about 4 days from the time you start varnishing until you can walk on the floor, never mind put heavy furniture back onto it
