    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?

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

    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.

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

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

    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.
