Hmm I was thinking real coke but when you snort it off the floor the adhesive will come up with it...just have to suck super hard. May not work but you have a blast doing it and get it done real fast
Hot water will reconstitute the adhesive back into a paste that you can scrape up easily(similar to drywall mud) with a putty knife. Then mop until the floor is as clean as you can get it before you sand. Trust me.....hot water works like you wouldn't believe
Do lacquer thinner or mineral spirits. Let the glue soak for 5ish mins and try scraping the majority of glue off first and then wipe the remaining away. You will have to refinish the floor with a drum sander anyways but this could save your sandpaper getting clogged by the glue.
We are doing a similar project . We use a wallpaper steamer machine and water to remove then clean with Murphy’s oil soap then hydrate old wood (from1895) with Solid Hold .. in process now have great before and after image.
Next time use a 00 gauge steel wire pad instead of a cloth is will help strip up everything and not damage the wood with deep scratches. I also found heat from a heat gun helps remove a lot of adhesives
I find straight vinegar works for a lot of adhesives. Let it soak and stay fairly wet. After 5 to 10 minutes use a plastic scraper. If you really want to get at it use a plastic scraper on a sawzall.
I don't know anything, BUT the stickiest stuff I have to clean up is my nephew's bongwater. Granted I never tried soda, and won't, but Goo-Gone and Murphys, yes. Anyway straight alcohol will wipe bong-ick right off. It evaporates really quickly so in small sections maybe your hardwood will be unaffected? If this sounds crazy then refer back to my first statement.
Trick is to heat up with a clothing iron on dry heat, add diatomaceous earth, cover with a sheet of parchment paper and reheat again. All the goo gets sucked in the powder and you can just scrape and brush it off all the way to the wood. Little to no sanding. I've taken off old vinyl floors, carpet, etc like that . And the best thing to scrub? The black BBQ grills disposable pads with a handle from dollar store. 😅🙃
Dude I can’t find the product in my van right now but you NEED this “graffiti cleaner” I bought from sherwin williams it’s in a spray bottle, I’m pretty sure it has a Dalmatian on it or something lol. It’s removed every adhesive and paint I’ve used it on in seconds and the label says “non toxic”. Regardless, you need an oily heavy duty cleaner to clean off any kind of heavy adhesive. Good luck!
My dad was maintenance at a hotel in Myrtle Beach so he used ALOT of these orange scented “graffiti remover” wipes. They had a texture and left an odd oily(?) feeling on your hands, but they would remove ANYTHING!!
(Small area heater) block off small section and apply oil I used crisco let it sit for about 10 mins it wipes right off then use Dawn dish liquid to remove the oil works everytime give it a try Good Luck!
You should have warmed the murphy oil up, and let it get just hot!🥰. Instead of spraying some on it, but you did not know, that Murphy, oil would have went right up under that left over carpet grimes and lifted up offthose hard wood floors, it would had or raise that grime soften it to a soft gum or would have been and easy clean up. Maybe you should give a try, use a coffee cup full.
Use a goopy paint stripper and a hand held stripper. Put stripper on, wait about 20 minutes, give or take depending on how warm it is & then scrap it off.
I tried EVERYTHING!! Finally found Sentinel 747 Plus Adhesive Remover at Home Depot floor department…still took some elbow grease but it worked like a charm.
It is probably better to get the glue off. the wood before sanding for a smoother surface. Strip ease is a good product but you will need good ventilation and gloves.
When I went to the hardware store I had to remove adhesive from sticky tiles off a pine floor. I was told to get contractors solvent. It's spray bottle of an orangish oilyish fluid. I keep it on hand and use it for everything I cannot express how phenomenal this product is. Best part is it has 100% money back guarantee even if you use the whole bottle if it doesn't work if you don't like the results take the bottle back. Clean up couldn't be any simpler You spray it on leave it on a minute to 15 minutes all of the gunk comes up (and this would include paint on carpet) then you clean up the solvent with Dawn dish soap. I have not tried it on dried paint on carpet but I have on not fully dried paint that got spilled on carpet. I use it to clean tons of stuff.
Milk! You need to leave it to soak in really well. Best to leave it for a few days soaking. Won't help remove the adhesive though; that needs sanding off.
I've heard tiki torch oil works well, haven't tried it. Also WD40 works pretty well to remove adhesives. Just make sure you remove all the products from the floor or the poly wont adhere. properly.
Try using maybe scolding water to turn it bsck into a paste with water and heat to melt it? I know the cleaners are like meant to be "the ultimate removers" but maybe next ones you test try sanding after to see how well they could break the shit up
D-Limonene orange oil. It's the active ingredient in Goo Gone, along with alcohol and petroleum. If you take a little in it's pure form and wet the adhesive with it, leave it sit a few minutes and it'll soften right up. Plus it smells great, and if it's pure it'll evaporated and leave no residue. A little goes a long ways, and I've been using the same bottle for years.
Citrastrip will do the best. Get the gel and leave it for 24hrs. Come back with a scraper. It will save you a ton of work sanding. Trust. I do it for a living.
I’ve found with the Goo gone it doesn’t always work when you spray it on and let it soak I used Dawn dish soap to get rid of the grease and it not only gets rid of the residue from the Goo gone it also takes whatever you were trying to get off with it. Really cool product.
Cleaning vinegar should work. Another I would like to see is just HOT (and I mean Hot, boiling hot) water and soap. And and this stuff called "the pink stuff"
Me my brother and dad took out out flooring in our kitchen and living room and made the support better and it was really bad. So once the plywood was down in the kitchen a fake tile sheet was taken off and we had the same adhesive you had. It was ticker but smaller than yours. We got the best we could and even used a sander which was good and bad. It was good because it god it up easily but it caused fumes that we don’t know what it was then put the flooring down and now we have better flooring and more support now that wood that is not dry rotted and such supporting it
I used a heat gun and scraper worked perfect then sanded the floor and restrained took about 6 days in total for an entire upstairs consisting of 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom and a hallway with closet
Try concentrating both sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide you can find sulphuric acid and drain cleaner and hydrogen peroxide as a medical product then mixing them together in a glass container and pouring it on that would it should come off fairly quickly
You just need water and soap. Mix some boiling water and washing-up liquid. Pour the mixture over the surface that needs to be cleaned. Leave it to absorb for a little while. You can scrub away the glue residues with a scouring sponge. Finally, dry the surface properly.
Try and soda called squirt... It's a such a space soda I've used it on my car windows to take off paint, Sticker residue From several different kinds of stickers that usually took forever to remove... I left it on for about 5 minutes and then wiped it off. And all the residue came off with it
Warm water, i used it to remove stickers glue from metal food bins at my job all the time, you warm it up and then you use a spatula and then repeat again the process.
Homemade mixture. A spray bottle will not work for this because of the DE. Mix 1C 99 percent rubbing alcohol plus 1C distilled white vinegar and 1Tblsp Food Grade (it must be food grade) Diatomaceous Earth (a.k.a. DE) and 1 tsp old Palmolive or old Dawn dish soap. Stir into 16 oz water. Dip a large cotton cloth into the mixture, gently squeeze to remove excess so as not to soak the wood, & lay it on the floor. I would test it after 5, 10 & 15 minutes to see which will work best for your situation.
Floor sander with coarse grit. And a sandpaper eraser. Starting with 80 grit.WAY WAY WAY less work. I've been refinishing floors for more than thirty years and have never used any kind of chemicals or soft drinks on a floor. But if I was going to use one I would use an adhesive remover that was formulated for the type of adhesive. And in your case it looks like cut back. That is an asphalt based adhesive. So anything that is petroleum base remover should work. The problem with using a chemical is that it will penitrate the wood so if it soaks into the wood it will effect the color and quality of your staining. So sand it . That is how it's done in the industry.
Try Pure Citrus Orange Air Freshener. It might sound like a weird suggestion but we used this at Home Depot when removing really stuck adhesives. Don't even need a lot. And it smells good.
Hot sauce!!! Like the kind from Winston Salem, NC.....buy a gallon, and let it sit for a bit and then wipe/mop it up...the old timey wax they used to use to protect wood floors, this works quite well, I don't see why it wouldn't work on adhesive??
Paint thinner is good with wood and breaks down glue. I would try paint thinner and a scraper like a putty knife. You could also try a heat gun to loosen it up further. But if it was me and your planning on sanding the floor anyway you can just sand it off with the rest of the floor. If your just trying to freshen the floor up you could be real slick with a orbital sander with a fine grit on the wide orange areas. They got them at lowes for under 100$ I think a nice dewalt with a cord is the way to go and then hand sand all the small areas being real strategic with your sanding. and remove just those spots and get a dark stain that will match the rest of the floor. stains good on that way if you got a couple boards to test it on first. It’ll never be perfect but just touching it up and getting some stain on it and poly coat it after with the petina it already has will still let it flow together real well.
Try ECOS unscented laundry detergent. Had rentals and this stuff cleaned floor tile glue and so many other hard to remove substances. Have used it for years for my clothes washing as have no skin reaction to it.
When they said, “try coke”, they meant, “do cocaine and hand sand it.”
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
That's what I would do ngl 💀
Hahahahhaa
Hmm I was thinking real coke but when you snort it off the floor the adhesive will come up with it...just have to suck super hard. May not work but you have a blast doing it and get it done real fast
Hot water will reconstitute the adhesive back into a paste that you can scrape up easily(similar to drywall mud) with a putty knife.
Then mop until the floor is as clean as you can get it before you sand.
Trust me.....hot water works like you wouldn't believe
Agreed!
Steam, not hot water
Still the best and cheapest way, cant beat getting some heat into it
Thanks! My basement stairs have that terrible carpet with 60 year old adhesive! I hope it works!
Yes hot water will do the trick and in the process damage the floor 🤦🏼♂️
Just rent a power sander and forget about it
This was my thought exactly.. Why fight with the shit on the floor just take the top layer off..
Yeah, I ran into this mess in my kitchen in my 90 yo house. What a mess.
It will clog up instantly. Need to scrape a ton first
Yeah you no that. Power sander all day long.
Hey calm down he's a millennial they don't know what those are
Test the black adhesive for asbestos if you haven’t already. We had a similar substance that I tested and it came back positive.
Watch this guy sand it and it be positive. Then you will have a whole other issue
Oh shit
Based on the vinyl he pulled up it’s more then likely positive. Same with that vinyl
Just wear a mask and assume is does. Why waste your time getting it tested?
Good ol Cutback
Use acetone it works REALLY well for removing adhesive
Yeah and when it soaks into the wood it makes great fire starter.
@@georgejungle2255 and turns your nice wood finish into varnish scabs
I use scrapers and Sanders
Do lacquer thinner or mineral spirits. Let the glue soak for 5ish mins and try scraping the majority of glue off first and then wipe the remaining away. You will have to refinish the floor with a drum sander anyways but this could save your sandpaper getting clogged by the glue.
I used both mineral spirits and lacquer thinner on mine - they looked exactly like your floors in the video- and it worked great
Best advice yet. A splash of acetone, also, perhaps (foam dissolver).
We are doing a similar project . We use a wallpaper steamer machine and water to remove then clean with Murphy’s oil soap then hydrate old wood (from1895) with Solid Hold .. in process now have great before and after image.
Thanks for linking the results in the original /s
This video needs a part two
Try vinegar, worked pretty good on vinyl glue, prob 50yrs old.
Next time use a 00 gauge steel wire pad instead of a cloth is will help strip up everything and not damage the wood with deep scratches. I also found heat from a heat gun helps remove a lot of adhesives
Wallpaper steamer takes it right up. No chemicals needed.
I find straight vinegar works for a lot of adhesives. Let it soak and stay fairly wet. After 5 to 10 minutes use a plastic scraper. If you really want to get at it use a plastic scraper on a sawzall.
If it is mastic, I would recommend a low voc paint stripper. Sanding is an alternative too.
SmartStrip first, always: mastics from this era can contain asbestos. You want to turn that to goo and scrape it away, not send it airborne.
But reinventing the wheel is so fun! 😂
Sanding is a must. What planet are you from? These woods will have to be completely sanded and refinished
@@Nothingmore71 asbestos was possibly used for glue
Soak section with hot water and use a scraper. Hot water loosens the glue and use the scrapper/mudding trowel to scrapper the glue off.
I went through your whole page, just to find this video, part 2 🤣 new sub.
Honestly the adhesive looks kinda cool the way it is. It makes it look more rustic and natural.
I don't know anything, BUT the stickiest stuff I have to clean up is my nephew's bongwater. Granted I never tried soda, and won't, but Goo-Gone and Murphys, yes. Anyway straight alcohol will wipe bong-ick right off. It evaporates really quickly so in small sections maybe your hardwood will be unaffected? If this sounds crazy then refer back to my first statement.
Lol iso alcohol is a good cleaner for sure
Make your lazy a- nephew clean up
99 percent rubbing alcohol eats right through it anything else is a total waste of time
Pink stuff for wood it takes off glue and stain but doesn't hurt the wood.
I think of use heat, like from a blow dryer to soften the adhesive and scrape at the same time
Heat gun would be better bc it has a higher range to break down the glue
Trick is to heat up with a clothing iron on dry heat, add diatomaceous earth, cover with a sheet of parchment paper and reheat again. All the goo gets sucked in the powder and you can just scrape and brush it off all the way to the wood. Little to no sanding. I've taken off old vinyl floors, carpet, etc like that .

Mostenboker’s lift off adhesive remover. Breaks it on a molecular level. Best stuff ever!
We use Lestoil to strip floors. Works great!
Agreed!!! Also gets really bad stains out of clothes.
I love Lestoil!!! The only thing I use to get grease/oil stains outta my clothes!!
Please try White Vinegar + Baking Soda + Fresh Squeezed Lemon. Use the Lemon and scrub sponge to wipe it up.
Dude I can’t find the product in my van right now but you NEED this “graffiti cleaner” I bought from sherwin williams it’s in a spray bottle, I’m pretty sure it has a Dalmatian on it or something lol.

Dawn dissolves everything. Especially when you add vinegar and heat a little. It’s a mixture I use on shower scum on glass
"Circa 1850" is my go to for removing anything for wood restorations.
I think it’s only available in Canada though, isn’t it? :)
You need to soak the adhesive with the goo gone
he did
@@misseselise3864 nah he misted it. When I say soak, I mean drenched. I've used this for years and you can't use it the way he showed.
For how long? A month? I had a mess like this. Still unhappy with that floor.
@@quelikingz yeah goo gone always makes a huge mess . Not worth using for applications I need.
@Sorum & Sons FF & Painting toxic
You should have warmed the murphy oil up, and let it get just hot!🥰.

Sounds crazy.. but WD-40 did well on my floor lol
Best solution yet. Oil breaks adhesive down
Best to use
WD-40 and duct tape are miracle fix alls
thats what i use at work for adhesives, or gasoline if the material can handle it
Wd40 leaves residue that would then need contended with
Steam. It will raise the grain too. Can also take out dents using steam.
I have been doing hardwood floors for a long time so this is how you’re going to sand your floors. Don’t mess up
🤣🤣🤣
Zep orange degreaser and scotch bright pad for a buffer. Then clean up with fresh terry cloth under buffer. We call it sandless wood renewal
Water....just water and a scraper 🤫
In my floor was he same Black Thing and only water an scraper helped
Agreed!
Use a goopy paint stripper and a hand held stripper. Put stripper on, wait about 20 minutes, give or take depending on how warm it is & then scrap it off.
Boiling water over old towels. I’m telling you this works like magic!!
Agreed
L.A's Totally Awesome. It is a heavy duty de-greaser. It is cheap and comes super concentrated. Also oven cleaner when all else fails.
I tried EVERYTHING!! Finally found Sentinel 747 Plus Adhesive Remover at Home Depot floor department…still took some elbow grease but it worked like a charm.
Or try pvc primer it’ll stain the wood purple but any paint or plastic based adhesives will melt away in seconds with it
Bro use GOOF OFF, fair warning though your gonna need to be well ventilated because that stuff has a super strong smell.
They have scent-free goof off. I thought the same thing too but then I found a ton of it at Lowes.
@Daniel Russell that's awesome bro. 👌 I didn't know this bit of information, my nostrils and I thank you my good man. 😄
Like the bad smell of that one hair remover? Nair.
@@AllenTax no this has a more chemical kinda smell that burns the shit out of your nostrils if you smell it directly from the bottle
It is probably better to get the glue off. the wood before sanding for a smoother surface.
Strip ease is a good product but you will
need good ventilation and gloves.
Either spray silicone on the drum or belt sander sand paper, or coat the floor with cooking oil, so the adhesive doesn’t stick to the sand paper.
Citrus King. It's made to remove mastic and tar. You mop it on keep it wet, scrub, mop it off.

Either sand it all down or use a gentle paint stripper (low VOC!)
That’s gonna work wayyyy better
Or even adhesive remover/industrial cleaning spray
Milk! You need to leave it to soak in really well. Best to leave it for a few days soaking.
Won't help remove the adhesive though; that needs sanding off.

Isopropyl alcohol, it's polarity is similar to that of many adhesives.

Lay down a rag/ thin towel hot iron on top minute to two.. remove, and use a putty knife scrapes off like butter.
Paint thinner works well on adhesives
Hot water and a scraper, oven cleaner covered in saran wrap, or scrub daddy/ stardrop brand power paste
I used a heat gun and scraper worked perfect then sanded the floor and restrained took about 6 days in total for an entire upstairs consisting of 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom and a hallway with closet

Leave it to absorb for a little while.
You can scrub away the glue residues with a scouring sponge.
Finally, dry the surface properly.
Honestly. Try icy hot. Seriously. Let it sit for about an hour. No scrubbing required.
depends on what type of adhesive but mix alcohol with soapy water preferably dawn blue. your welcome!
Try vinegar water mix. Leave it setting for a couple hours. Then scrub off
Try and soda called squirt... It's a such a space soda I've used it on my car windows to take off paint, Sticker residue From several different kinds of stickers that usually took forever to remove... I left it on for about 5 minutes and then wiped it off. And all the residue came off with it
Warm water, i used it to remove stickers glue from metal food bins at my job all the time, you warm it up and then you use a spatula and then repeat again the process.
Nail polish remover! Or in bulk buy gallons of acetone / xylene from the paint or big box store.
Isopropyl alcohol does really good on breaking down adhesives
As others have said, Boiling hot water makes this job much much easier. Can just scrape it up with a putty scraper.
Automotive brakleen. Spray down some rags, THICK, and cover them with Saran wrap to keep it from evaporating.
Homemade mixture. A spray bottle will not work for this because of the DE. Mix 1C 99 percent rubbing alcohol plus 1C distilled white vinegar and 1Tblsp Food Grade (it must be food grade) Diatomaceous Earth (a.k.a. DE) and 1 tsp old Palmolive or old Dawn dish soap. Stir into 16 oz water. Dip a large cotton cloth into the mixture, gently squeeze to remove excess so as not to soak the wood, & lay it on the floor. I would test it after 5, 10 & 15 minutes to see which will work best for your situation.
Acetone works great.
Try the scrub daddy power paste,
You have to rub it on and then let it sit. Then use a medium abrasive scrubber and it should come right up
Heat vinegar and hot water. Soak cloths in this and apply it on the floor and let it sit for a minute. The glue should scrape easily.

ronson zippo fluid is magic for this just make sure its well vented and no risk of a spark. do small spot. its like goo gone times 10
Use simple green that stuff is magic!
Thank you for including the link for this part two! Many don't, and that's just plain annoying. Good job, even if the results weren't so great!
Murphys is my favorite. It's better to soak the floor just a little.
Use a scraper first before sanding
Citrol is the best thing I've ever used. Hands down
Acetone or nail polish remover type things always remove adhesive
Try Pure Citrus Orange Air Freshener. It might sound like a weird suggestion but we used this at Home Depot when removing really stuck adhesives. Don't even need a lot. And it smells good.

You need to try cosmoline. That stuff no joke!!!
Had old hardwood flooring in a home i owned years ago. I mopped with hot soapy water all the time, then rinsed, then dried and polished.
Oil removes adhesive. Use any oil you have.

Try ECOS unscented laundry detergent. Had rentals and this stuff cleaned floor tile glue and so many other hard to remove substances. Have used it for years for my clothes washing as have no skin reaction to it.
I would try hot water and very small amount of alcohol mixed in hot water will make it gooey, and alcohol will lift it, get a plastic scraper too
My dad always used a heat gun on old adhesive. Stunk to high heaven but worked like a charm.
Try some betco stix it's like 12% phosphoric acid and works great at dissolving stuff
after using for years i have learned goo gone works best with a flat scrapers not a rag or towel.
PAINT/STAIN stripper. The adhesive will melt right off of there & you can try a few layers in one day
Soak with vinegar, then use a steam cleaner and scraper
Acetone then oil for remaining residue or get some klean strip floor adhesive remover
