Removing Carpet Adhesive

Using glue to put your carpet down is a great long-term option, particularly for wall-to-wall carpeting.

When removing carpet glue from concrete, you have a few different methods to use.

Scraping

A scraping tool of decent quality will help a lot in removing carpet glue from concrete.

Boiling Water

Boiling a pot of water on the stove and then pouring the water into the affected areas can assist in lifting the glue.

Ironing

Place a single sheet of newspaper down on the area of affected concrete and then run the hot iron over the newspaper.

Ammonia

Ammonia is a very strong chemical that can be useful in taking the glue off the concrete, but you will need to dilute it with water first.

Sanding

If you are dealing with a glue stain or glue that is very stubborn, you might want to resort to using more abrasive techniques.

Some methods are more effective than others, but it is recommended to begin with the least costly, non-toxic methods first
