Title: Sticky residue
Post by: Jimmyjnr on December 20, 2014, 07:20:32 pm
Just lifted the plastic walk sheeting the dealer put down across carpet an kitchen tile , now that I have lifted it there's a sticky residue left on tiles and carpet , I am thinking carpet cleaner will do carpets but tried simple green on tiles and it didn't touch it , any ideas ?

I recommend De-Solv-It Contractor's Solvent sold at Ace Hardware. I recently peeled up the clear stair tread on our wooden entry steps leaving a very sticky residue. I tried mineral spirits, acetone and a couple other products. Finally attacked it with the Ace stuff and it came right up. It's sold in a small spray bottle. Good luck.

Attacked it with de sol vit and scrubbing brush , cleaned up the mess then repeated . Finished with cleaner and paper towls .
What a task ! Thanks for the suggestions
