Question

I have carpeting down on my living room floor. I wanted to put down area rugs and keep them from moving and sliding so I got a double-faced fabric glue on both sides. Now I am trying to get the glue and residue off. What do I do?

Community Answer

Try a product like Goo Gone. If that doesn't work, you can also combine the nail polish with d-limonene products.

Question

How do you get hardened double-sided carpet tape out of carpet?

Community Answer

Wet the spot with warm water and vinegar and try to remove as much as you can. You can then try to apply Goo Gone directly to the carpet.

How do I remove duct tape adhesive from a carpet?

Baking soda and vinegar for 30 minutes. It will break down the adhesive, just rinse with warm water afterwards.

Question

What if you left the super glue for 3 days? Will it still come off?

Community Answer

Try using nail polish remover and a product with d-limonene. If that still doesn't work, you may need to consult a professional.

Question

How can I get slime out of my carpet?

Community Answer

If the slime is still "wet" and hasn't dried, I find that it can work well to just pour hot water on top. It melts the slime and then it can easily be picked up.
