Hi
I have just painted a room that has varnished floorboards. I tried to cover the floorboards with dust sheets but some paint has found its way through.
Does anyone have any tips to clean the floorboards without damaging the finish?
 
warm water and one of those sponges you use for doing the dishes, you know the ones that are rough on one side?
This wont damage the varnish one bit.
Emulsion is water based so it'll come off easy.
 
hot soapy water should be all you need to get emulsion off, works for me every time though I've never tried to clean floorboards I don't see how it won't work. But use a cloth not a brush because a rough brush could damage the varnish if you scrub too hard.
