My husband used double sided tape to secure a rug we had in our livingroom. It has just been taking up as I changed our colour scheme for the festive season but the residue/tape remnants wont budge from laminate floor. I tried mopping with water/bleach. Also a kleeneze product called sticky stuff remover with a ceramic hob scraper still didnt come off although came up a little better.HELP

You could try putting ice cubes on it till it goes brittle & can hopefully be scraped offthre flooring. That works for chewing gum anyway! Good luck - if you still have the pack that the tape came in you could ring the firm up & ask their advice Wink

The ice cubes definatley work on chewing gum!

You could also try spraying it with Furniture Polish, something like Mr Sheen. Leave it on the mark for about 1/2 hourish, then use a scraper to remove excess liquid. It works on sticky back labels, so it may dissolve the tape adhesive. Good luck.

the other day Kim used something like WD-40 a lube spray and a putty knife. this was on hard wood floors. i am sure that would work. you might also try vegetable or cooking oil.

Yes WD40 is excellent at removing residue. Leave it to penitrate for a few mins then hey presto. Its also good for removing gum from carpets and has 1001 other uses.
