How do I remove carpet glue from a hardwood floor? 2026/01/02 22:08 Karma: 0  
My wife and I just bought our first home. It was built in 1957 and we just removed the dirty old carpet to reveal pretty decent hardwood floors. I am going to take on the task of sanding and staining them myself (first time). The hardwood floors have glue that was put down for the carpet and I was wondering if anyone knows what is the best method for removing that glue from the hardwood floors? Not only is there a lot of glue but the foam that was under the carpeting is stuck on top of the glue as well. I know I am going to have to remove this glue before I start sanding. I already removed all the staples and nails in the floor.

Also, am I supposed to fill the small staple and nail holes after sanding or before? Or do I not need to fill them because the stain will fill them?

Begin by testing a small area of your flooring with the adhesive remover to be sure it does not damage the flooring in any way. Adhesive removers are acidic, which is not a friend of some natural stones. It may take off the sealant, which can be replaced, but make sure it does not damage the actually stone or you may have a larger problem on your hands.
If the test spot is undamaged, then you are ready to start with the entire room.
Begin by putting on the rubber gloves to protect your hands. You can place a fan in the room or in a nearby window to help with circulation. Sometimes adhesive removers can have strong or unpleasant fumes.


Thanks

A floor glue is necessary to bond carpeting to a solid foundation. This adhesive is highly resilient once it has dried, and often remains tacky even after the carpet .
