How do you get dried caulk off hardwood floors?

To remove dried caulk from hardwood floors, start by gently scraping the caulk with a plastic putty knife or a similar tool to avoid damaging the wood. If stubborn residue remains, apply a few drops of mineral spirits or a commercial caulk remover on a cloth and dab it on the area to soften the caulk, then scrape again. Wipe the area clean with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly afterward. Always test any solvent on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it won't harm the finish.
