Getting paint splashes off lino(?) flooring - photo

Being curious I have just lifted some click and clack laminate boards in my kitchen and have found quite a nice brick-effect lino underneath. It looks like there are some paint splashes on it. Is there any way to remove these please?

It depends what they are. If emulsion, they might come off with a weak solution of Flash, left on to loosen and then rubbed gently with a cloth.
if it’s oil based paint, probably nothing, because paint stripper will react badly with Lino ( it’s oil based itself.) you could try scraping very gently and then testing the scraping.

Are you sure it’s Lino. It’s more likely to be vinyl, Lino doesn’t take ‘effects’ it just looks like itself!

I haven’t a clue of the difference between lino, vinyl and laminate really!

Anyway thank you for the tip, I didn’t have any Flash but found a bottle of Pink Stuff and it came off a treat with some of that and kitchen roll. Thank you 😊
