If paint gets on the linoleum during renovation, there is no need to panic.

You need to start removing dirt right away. There are several simple methods that are effective.

The easiest option is to use a regular solvent.

But here you should first test it on a small and inconspicuous area of the floor covering to prevent damage.

You can put a napkin or cotton pad with acetone, solvent or white spirit on a thin layer of dried paint. After 10 minutes, you can remove the napkin.

Also, in the fight against fresh stains, it is relevant to use regular vegetable oil, which softens the stains. After that, you just need to wash the floor with a soap solution and a rag.

It is worth noting that the integrity of the coating is of great importance when cleaning.

If there are scratches and cuts, there is a risk that the paint will penetrate the pores faster, which means that the cleaning process may take longer.
