"Start by scraping the paint with a plastic scraper or a utility knife. Pour a small amount of nail polish remover onto a clean microfibre cloth afterwards and dab it on the tile. Leave it for a few minutes so the paint can soften. Scrub the tiles with the acetone-soaked cloth to remove the excess paint."

"Assuming the paint is emulsion then I use All Purpose Cleaner: “Flash” or similar applied neat using a microfiber cloth, both available from most supermarkets, if really difficult to shift the paint then try using a stiff plastic or wooden spatula, failing that for bigger blots of paint then use a window scraper (available from most DIY outlets), this is a plastic handle for a Stanley knife blade. If the paint is a water or oil based wood paint then if the above does not work try a fine synthetic pan cleaner (the green square ones are ideal) and if you are still struggling purchase some Isopropyl, which is an alcohol based cleaning agent ( I purchase mine from Amazon)"
