Removing Paint from Hardwood Floors

[Aaron Smith]

I'm in the process of fixing the house up for a rental. I removed the old carpet because i wanted to go with hardwood floors through out the house. When I removed the carpet I found out that I had a lot of areas on the hardwood with paint on it. Do any one know how to remove the paint from the hardwood floor?

I would go with sanding the floors and staining , since I believe that any/most chemicals you may use you run the risk of having the chemical discolor the floor.
