4. Stainless Steel Scrubber (refer image)
the trick
The first step is to pour some spirit on the glued areas, and use a stainless steel scrubber to rub on the floor. This will help the spirit to get soaked into the glue and spread across the entire floor. Make sure to cover every part of the glue with the spirit, as this will help to loosen the glue and make it easier to remove.
Once you’ve applied the spirit to the glue, you’ll need to let it sit for a few minutes, depending on the toughness of stains it is recommended to wait for 5 minutes before you proceed to next step. This will help the glue to become good and damp, and you’ll be able to easily scrape it off the floor.
In this method we are using a sharp bare blade taken out of a cutter knife so it is important to be very careful and ensure that the grip is directed in the correct way—with the sharp side down.
To remove the glue off the floor, place the blade gently on the floor and use an action such as rubbing the blade against the floor, as if you were shaving off glue. This action is especially recommended when working on ceramic tiles, as they are less likely to be scratched than wooden floors (for tips on how to remove glue stains from wooden floors, please refer to our other blog). By taking a few simple precautions, you can ensure that you are handling your knife blades safely. Follow the steps outlined above and be sure to handle your knives with care at all times.
Once you pass the blade through the glued area, the glue (which should have been damp enough by now) would come off easily.
Before using blade, make sure to check if the glue has become damp and soft enough, making it easier to remove. Then, take a sharp blade and carefully pass it through the glue.
Clean the blade with the tissue and repeat the process. Make sure to be gentle and to avoid pressing down too hard, as this could damage the floor. Once you have done blading at all the glued areas of the floor, clean the floor with the cotton cloth to make sure that all the removed glue is taken off the floor.
Blading is an effective way to remove glue from your floors. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require any harsh chemicals. With a little patience and care, you can have your floors free of glue in no time.
