Foamed back left on floor
Pulled up carpet ready for a new one being put down .... but i've now been left with foam from the back of old carpet still on floor & now been painfully trying to get it off the darn floor atm with a scraper regretfully
 Is there an easier way??????????

Re: Foamed back left on floor
I had the same problem when I moved here - found that a domestic steam machine got it up much easier - melts the glue
PS there are heavy duty industrial scraping machines designed for just this purpose - but that is a lot of expense hiring one when a steam cleaner will do it Last edited by MargaretR; 02-10-2007 at 15:43. |

Re: Foamed back left on floor
As long as a good underlay and carpet are going over the top it doesn't need 'scraping' up

Re: Foamed back left on floor
Chalk 2 lines down the length of the room, dividing it into 3 even sections
Give the kids a scraper each 1st to the other end of the room with all the scrapings placed into a bin liner wins £10 Easy
