How to Remove Adhesive & Glue on the Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl flooring has excellent wear resistance, stain resistance, and slip resistance, and its elastic foot feel makes walking very comfortable. More and more places are choosing vinyl flooring(homogeneous, heterogeneous, and LVT, SPC) as the main decorative material for the ground. So, how can we remove glue from the plastic floor during the construction process?

1. Clean the adhesive on the floor that has not solidified before

Wiping cloth: It is relatively easy to clean the adhesive before it has dried and solidified. At this time, the adhesive is liquid, and it is basically cleaned after use or wiping with a cloth. Then, wipe the remaining adhesive clean.

 

Alcohol: If the adhesive on the floor has not yet solidified or appears sticky, it cannot be solved with a cloth alone. A solvent such as alcohol can be used to clean it, and then rinsed with water to wipe it clean.

2. Remove the solidified adhesive from the floor

Knife: Once the glue solidifies, it is difficult to remove it. If you want to use sharp tools or knives to remove it, be sure to remove it gently, otherwise it can easily damage the surface of the floor.

 

Electric hair dryer: If the adhesive adheres to a large area on the floor and has already solidified, it is recommended to use an electric hair dryer for heating to soften the adhesive, and then use a tool to remove it, which is very easy and effective.

 

Special cleaning agent: There is a product on the market that specifically removes adhesive from the floor. You can purchase this professional cleaning agent and follow the steps to remove adhesive marks.

 

Acetone: Acetone is a good liquid for removing gum, and it can quickly remove gum residue with a small amount of acetone. However, acetone should not come into direct contact with the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, as there is a risk of acute poisoning.

 

Facial oil: Apply the facial oil or glycerin we usually use evenly on the glue marks, and then wait for it to moisturize a bit. Use your nails to remove the parts that can be removed, and use a damp towel to wipe the rest.

 

Fengyou essence: Many people will smear some Fengyou essence on their forehead once they have a headache. In fact, Fengyoujing not only has a refreshing effect, but also can be used to remove glue marks. It is a little trick that many people do not know how to apply Fengyou essence to the glue mark and wipe it off after a while.

 

Vinegar: You can take a cloth soaked in vinegar and cover the entire area of the glue mark. After the glue stains are completely wet, you can easily remove them with a ruler.

 

Nail washing solution: Use a cotton swab dipped in nail washing solution to wipe, and the glue marks can also be removed. Nail polish remover does not require quality, good or ordinary, as long as it can remove nail polish.
