How Do You Remove Carpet Glue From Concrete Floor?
When you have concrete floors that once had carpeting on, you’ll find remnants of carpet glue after you remove the carpet. If you plan to leave the concrete floor bare, you need to remove the glue to improve the look. Leaving the glue is not a good thing because dirt and grime can stick on it that would make it harder to remove and maintain overtime. Although there are numerous chemicals to remove glue, none is as effective and eco-friendly as with the use of boiling water. Remove all carpet remnants by scraping with a heavy-duty blade or spackling tool. Take off as much of the carpet chunks as you can. Use the push broom to sweep away the remnants. Boil water in a pot. Choose large pots to accommodate enough in order to remove as much glue that you would need to remove. You can choose a deep, wide pot used for boiling meet or pasta that can hold up to 5 gallons of water at a time. Pour the boiling water over the glue. Protect your eyes by using goggles to prevent the hot water splatte
