To remove floor glue adhesive from carpets, use three methods: mechanical (scraping, sanding), chemical (soap, water, adhesive remover), and thermal (heat gun, hot water). Identify the adhesive type by consulting the installer. This helps choose the best removal method for effective results.
Next, dampen a cloth with warm water and apply it to the remaining adhesive. Allow it to sit for a few minutes. This helps to soften the glue. After soaking, use the scraper again to lift the adhesive. If there are stubborn spots, apply the adhesive remover according to the product instructions. Always test the remover on a small, hidden area first to ensure it does not damage your carpet.
Once the glue is removed, clean the area with warm, soapy water to ensure no residue remains. Allow the carpet to dry completely. With these steps, you can effectively remove floor glue adhesive and restore your carpet’s appearance.
Now that you know how to tackle adhesive removal, let’s explore additional cleaning techniques for various types of carpet stains.
