Re: [DIY] REMOVING GLUE LEFT BEHIND ON CEMENT FLOOR

Tried the almost boiling water and it seems to be working the best. It sure smells the best too. *:) happy

Have you tried dry ice? The extreme cold will harden the glue and you may be able to chip it off the floor more easily. Dry ice is often available in blocks which would be easier to work with.

Vinegar was the first thing we tried, and we added Tea Trea oil to it. It made it a bit easier to scrape off, but each square foot takes about 10 minutes and the room is 17x15 plus there is a dressing area and a walk in closet.

We had Armstrong stick on tile on a cement floor for over 20 years. Many of the tiles were loose and some had come off (and we replaced them) one by one. This week, my husband began the tedious process of removing all of the ones the bedroom. It was hours of work and now the entire floor is left with a very sticky coating. Vinegar mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil has had little effect in softening or disolving the glue, he has had to spend hours and hours scraping the floor. Can anyone suggest something non toxic? The plan is to have someone come in to install ceramic tile afterwards. How much prep do we need to do without some $$$ service prep charge by the installers?
