paint thinner or gasoline can be used to wipe in a well airrated area.

For the hardwood floor you might try finger nail polish remover, but for the walls i dont know cause it might stain the walls!!!

Once it dries try the Mr. Clean magic eraser. And if that does work try a mild solution of this stuff called Krud Kutter. (You can get it at Target or Lowes) Just becareful because if you let the Krud Kutter sit too long it will remove the finish off of the wood. But when sprayed on and wiped off it should be fine. This stuff works miracles.
Good Luck!

Paint thinner will work on the unfinished wood, but be cautious about using it on finished wood. Use very small amounts or you could take the finish off.

Mr. clean eraser is great, and will probably do the trick

Rubbing alcohol removes white out. Be careful if any of the wood has a lacquer finish. Polys or varnish are OK.

Try alcohol, in a very small spot, if not buy murphys liquid soap which is made to clean wood floors .UPDATE
I CALLED 1 800 884 4443 THE NO. ON THE BOTTLE OF WHITEOUT. THEY SAID IT IS A OIL BASE PAINT..THEN READING HINTS FROM HELOISE SHE SAYS USE PAINT THINNER OR TURPENTINE. THE RINSE WITH WATER. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY IT ON A SMALL AREA.
