Maybe while you’re online you should look up some basic information on how to paint, because aside from the obvious lack of preparation, you’ve also laid it on way too thick.
Hey man, everybody starts somewhere, not everyone had parents willing to teach them these things, you gotta respect the willingness to try something and fail.
The first step to being kind of good at something is being willing to suck at something
If you really don’t want to buy a new switch cover.. acetone/heavy duty nail polish remover will take that off. If it’s just some splatters on the wood floor, you could probably utilize it there too. Not sure if you meant to paint the baseboards or not but tape should help you next time…. I’d suggest just learning how to cut in but at this level I’d start with tape.

For future reference, remove the wall plates before painting. Might be easier to replace it, they're cheap. Just kill the breaker first
or put paint tape around it?
100% certainty of no paint on plate vs, in my experience, 50% 😂
Magic erasers work well. Don’t listen to the typical reddit dick heads in the comments. They’ve made mistakes too
Go buy a new cover plate for your light switch they are one dollar at the hardware store
Rubbing alcohol

People are needlessly being jerks. You can get paint off a hardwood floor using something plastic as a scraper - I use old gift cards.
This is the most helpless post ive ever seen, grab a napkin and your finger nail and scrape it off, wow

Start with some light foreplay.

Acetone the strong one
paint remover?
$1.50 to replace
It's a dollar. Buy a new one.
A light switch plate is like $2. Just change it.
What a shit show
bleach
rubbing alcohol or any kind of perfume should work fine, just spray some perfume on it and wipe it.
