Default how do I remove carpeting glued to concrete floor?


wrote in message

One of our tenants just moved out of a 200 sq ft shop and left a yucky
carpet that was glued onto the concrete floor. What would be the
easiest method of removing the carpet that presently is stuck to the
floor?

all replies welcomed! Aaron in N. Hollywood


Cut the carpet into strips by running a utility knife down it. If you make
them 1 1/2 to 2 feet wide they are easier to handle. Once you pull up a
corner, the rest will come easy enough. They you are left with glue on the
floor that will be a bitch to get off. Use an ice scraper/chopper on a long
pole.
