To remove carpet glue from a terrazzo floor, begin by applying boiling water to soften the glue. Use a scraper to remove as much as possible. If any glue remains, apply solvents like acetone or denatured alcohol. For stubborn spots, gently sand with coarse grit to avoid damaging the terrazzo surface. Always prioritize safety during the cleaning process.
Then, gently scrape the softened glue using the plastic scraper. Avoid using metal scrapers, as they can scratch the surface. Wipe the area with a cloth to remove any residue. For stubborn glue, repeat the application of the solvent and scraping process. Sometimes, warm soapy water may also help lift the remaining adhesive.
After complete removal, clean the floor thoroughly with a damp cloth to eliminate any solvent remains. Finally, dry the area with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.
With the glue now removed, you can focus on maintaining the beauty of your terrazzo floor. Regular cleaning and appropriate sealing will preserve its shine and ensure durability for years to come.
