adhesive removal from carpet

[maben]

How do you remove from a nylon carpet adhesive left from a carpet protection film (e.g. carpet shield)?

I've had great results with Prochem spotter and also POG

Sometimes a citrus solvent such as prochem's citrus pro added to your prespray is enough. Usually needs to be scrubbed in. A volatile solvent lightly sprayed with a misting bottle helps. Using too much will delaminate the carpet.

...and then something to remove the citrus product. Charge for it.

Encountered that situation yesterday. Sharply-deliniated black rectangles where film had been. Cleaned right up with the standard drill: vac, prespray, scrub, hot rinse. Film adhesive removal has never required extra measures, in my experience. Maybe your film is a different product.

Depends how long it was down .
If not mistaken, there is a caution on the roll to not leave down over “X” amount of time

Making the dirt/soil from residue go away is easy .
Getting ALL the invisible adhesive left (so it won’t resoil months later) is the hard part
Especially and in particular if a model home that had tons of traffic for a year or more

BUTT...in general, I’m with Ron ...Citrus solv and scrub along with a mega flush/rinse has worked for us


..L.T.A.

Thanks everybody!
Any preference between Prochem's Citrus Pro and CitraQuick by Pro's Choice?

go with a citrus solvent that is 100% active solvents. Bridgepoint's Citrus Solv II works very well on adhesives.
