Hi, I removed carpet from my bathroom, but now there is so much glue residue on my tiles can this stuff work on old glue on tiles?

I would give it a try! It removes tar from a vehicle without destroying the paint.

I would try to remove most of it by scraping dry glue with appropriate tool that won't scratch floor tile. Further, I'd try to focus on any in the grout lines, since it might be harder for an adhesive remover to work on this spot. I think that if you have a large area to work that it would be better to ask a flooring specialist about what particular adhesive remover product is needed. I'm thinking there must be something that would be easier work. So, no, I don't think the GOO GONE would attack flooring glues that I've worked with.

GG usually does remove old glue/decal residue, but I believe your glue may have hardened over the years. Keep rubbing with GG for 5 minutes as hard as you can. If nothing, then it probably won't work. You'll need to scrape it off with a metal scraper & maybe a razor for the last small bits remaining. Careful if you don't wanna scratch your tiles.

Not sure. I know it's good on glue left after removing price stickers and labels from bottles or containers. The glue used to affix carpet to an underlayment of tiles might be a different proposition. Give it a try, let it sit for 10-15 minutes and see if it loosens/softens the glue and try gently scraping off the residue with a retractable razor blade scraper. Be careful not to damage your tiles if you plan on keeping them in use. Good luck. Also, try just scraping the dried glue without using any Goo Gone to see if that works before you apply the Goo Gone to your floor -- maybe try a little of both methods to see which works better.

Try a product by the name of "goof off" It should take the glue off and not damage the floor. Use alittle at a time

Yes, my daughter accidentally dropped a while plate of spaghetti on my white carpet and it was the only thing that took the stain out. We also dilute some and put it in our carpet cleaner and it took out old stains that we thought were there for good. I love this product and use it all the time. Amy

It did leave a residue on my kitchen floor, but nothing that a basic mop couldn't fix. I did put away any food items (and took the cat with me). It did NOT stain anything, nor did I notice any difference on my carpets. I would totally use this product again! They also had this Biocide 100 product that I absolutely LOVE! It works so great in the bathroom to get rid of those mildew stains!!

i don't see why you couldnt use it on tile. We love ours in the tub!! It feels very safe. It is a peel and stick adhesive so even if it left a residue when you take it up at some point, I would think goo gone should take it off

Depending on the surface, it will most likely leave residue. A rag with some mineral spirits or paint thinner will easily remove the residue however.

Yes it works well on tile to area carpet applications. It is hell to get the adhesive off the tile if you ever want to make any changes - like new area carpets, design change, thorough cleaning.

I tried all sorts of rust removers on some rust on a ceramic tile bathroom floor...under a slowly leaking toilet tank and a rusted bolt. This is the only thing that I found that took the rust out of the tile! I love this stuff.

Yes it will clean old stains well but you must pretreat the stain first let it soak for about 30 minutes and clean as usual if that doesn't work retreat until you nolonger see the stain it may take several treatments to clean it up depending on how long the stain has been their. Good luck on your success in cleaning this.P.S. I would be lost if not for my scruber it was the best buy I made great also on ceramic tile flooring cleans grout to a new finish .

Yes, I use it on Flor carpet tiles and it works well. However Flor carpets are not as squishy as traditional home carpet.

I used it on bathroom grout and it restored the tiles to like new. Was very impressed. It's not terribly expensive. Worth a try.

i'm not sure what its made of, but this would really work. be very careful when you use it not to get it on any hardwood floor, use something thick lile a magazine under the area you are working on. also, i have heard that if you use a little vasoline on the tip of the glue nozzel, that it will keep those strings of glue from coming out and bugging you. i would definitely try this glue for this. i have used it for fraying many times. i try not to use alot of glue so it doesnt show. cut off the smallest amount on the tip so it comes out slowly and put the glue over the frayed area. wait until it dries and then trim off any small strings. the area that you glue will be a little darker and stiffer, but its better than having your rug unravel. there is also a product called fray check, that is used in sewing, but its thinner and might not work for a thick area like a carpet. if it just the serger threads you want to fix, you might try it first. it will dry a little darker and be a little stiff also. i hope this helps. if you go with the fabric tac, use gloves to protect your manicure. try it on a small area first. i love this glue and use it for many things.

I have only used it on carpet and it is fantastic; for set stains, I often need a second application. I would check with the company about use on tiles.

I used this on my granite counters and grout lines on floor tiles. I applied it using a foam brush, waited about 5-10 mins, and wiped off the excess with a clean towel. I did not wipe off on the grout lines.

I used the ardell adhesive remover it worked fine for me. I tried it on a hidden area on my floor before applying it to the spot I wanted removed. Hope this helps

Not sure. We used it on granite. I believe it's for products that do not have a glaze or finish on them. If the tiles are pourus then you shouldn't have a problem.

Just sprinkle on the carpet and work in with either a hand brush for small areas, or rent the Host carpet cleaning machine for a whole room clean. This would not work on tile grout. The product looks like sawdust.
