How to remove of outdoor carpet on concrete floor?
I need to remove the outdoor carpet on my porch as it has mildewed. I
suppose I should cut the carpet in strips with a box cutter. Since I am not going to replace the carpet, I need to get all the residue from the glue off the concrete floor. Is there a product for doing this? ~Jazzy~ |

Thank you Stu, for the website. ~Jazzy~ If scrape marks on the concrete don't matter, try using an ice chopper. Used to chop ice off of driveways, it's also a good way to remove carpeting on concrete, provided it wasn't glued down. Might still work then. Use it as you would a chisel, except ice choppers have handles 6' long.... ram it at an angle against the carpeting. Or go to the local rental shop & see what they have. |
