How to Remove Carpet Glue From Concrete

To remove carpet glue from concrete, use a floor scraper to remove as much debris as possible. Then apply an adhesive or mastic remover.

Some of the best products for this are the new generation of soy based products. Not only do they perform very well, but they are 100% biodegradable with no harmful fumes or odors. Eco Safety Products is one of the few suppliers of these soy based products.

I strongly recommend the soy removers, especially when working indoors. Not only do they work, but they do the job with few safety concrerns. The fumes from other strippers can be very dangerous and they stink up the house.

The key to getting any adhesive remover to work is to allow plenty of time for it to work. Apply it and let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Then scrape up the rest of the glue and get rid of it. The floor must then be washed with water.

You must remove carpet glue from concrete if you plan to stain or paint the surface. Stains won't penetrate and paints won't ahere. For information on these applications see acid stains, acrylic stains, or epoxy paints.
