Answers:
use goof-off they have it at the hardware or paint store
try some wd-40 on a rag and let it set for a few min and wipe it off. Make sure you do a test area to see if to might stain the wood
acrylic paint dries to a plastic film- try a magic eraser( Mr Clean or generic should work.) Baking soda might work too, it's just abrasive enough to work w/out damaging the wood. Don't scrub too hard, though.
Paint Specks on the Floor
Generally, these can be avoided if you are diligent with a drop cloth and have covered the floor area comprehensively. In addition, using masking tape around the perimeter of the room will make doubly sure that no paint gets on the edges of the floor.
However, if an accident has occurred, tackle the specks with a gradual approach: first use a mild cleaning detergent and water; if this is not effective, try using a solvent appropriate to the paint and scrub with a scouring pad, taking care if the floor surface is delicate and vulnerable to abrasives.
If the stain persists, repeat with some paint thinner. It may require some physical effort, time and patience but this will generally remove the specks.
As a very last resort, use a small amount of acetone or lacquer thinner - however, note that this can dull or mar some floor finishes be very careful and always spot-test in an inconspicuous area or leftover piece of flooring first.
If the specks are on carpet and are very small, then you might be better to wait until they are dry and then pinch them out with your fingernails or "cut out" the stained area with a razor, without affecting the carpet's overall appearance.
