Removing carpet pad residue from hardwood floor
I did this many years ago, but don't remember the solution. My neighbor's

Floor sander? Joseph Meehan I know 3 people who tried that. Worked for 1, but for the other two, it turned the pad into hot, sticky goop. |

BTW Goof-Off is mostly (if not all) xylene......a gallon of xylene is a LOT cheaper than the equal amount of Goof-Off. If solvents don't do the trick.......floor sander (rum or floor sander) Are you going to re-finish floor?....if so, sander....forget the solvents. cheers Bob |
