I need something that will remove all the mastic from the floor, we ripped up some real old carpet and want to stain and seal the concrete floor in our hardware store. Removing the glue or whatever it was holding the carpet has been a real pain, I...

This bit may scrape it off but not effectively and efficiently. A much better option although much pricier is the actual floor scraper blade. Search sdsmax floor scraper and it should come up. It is $200+. This blade is much thinner and will be sharp and actually sharpen itself as you use it.

Hmm. I have not used my steamer on concrete. Concrete is pitted. What is ever in it.. needs a chemical to pull it out... or a lot of water. The steamer doesn't emit large quantities of water. I would first try something to neutralize the urine. Look for a pet related product.** #1 Pet Odor Eliminator ** Urine Remover - CRI Certified Enzyme Cleaner For Old & New Stains - FREE BONUS Included... by Petseer Amazon sells this. It is an enzyme...so not a harmful substance. As I stated earlier, I think a lot of water is needed to wash the urine away. Best to you - S.

I have a 20 year old wool rug that I cleaned using the Agility with great results. I laid it on the clean garage floor and used cold water & cleaning solution in the cleaning tank. I went over the entire rug probably 3-4 times and then used plain cold water to rinse several times. It looks almost new. I can't recommend that everyone clean their wool rugs this way, but I had nothing to lose. I was ready to get rid of the rug because I didn't want to pay the high price to get it professionally cleaned. If this is your case, why not go ahead and take the risk.

I aslo had this problem in one room and just put it over the glue, it took more paint and the coating had worn quicker than the other room that I rented a sander and removed the glue. Cost of sander rental was about 50 bucks. The only good thing about leaving the glue was even wet it was not slick but hard to sweep up the floor. I would never do it over glue again.

Hey Ray, as this is not what the tool was designed for, the results would be unreliable at best. That said, this tool does a very good job at measuring even small levels of moisture in sheetrock and wood. If you only have a small section of carpet, best bet is to tear it out and put new in. Carpet is cheap compared to mold problems that might come along if even a small section remains wet under the carpet.

Just through the hole. That's why it's awesome for hard flooring. The brush roller just pushes all the dirt across the hard floors. This actually gets it up. I wouldn't recommend this vacuum for deep cleaning of carpets. Just hard floors and quick crumb removal on carpet.

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.

that is what I bought it for and it does a fairly good job --but if your carpet is already really damaged it will only do so much. Still, I am happy with my purchase!

This is industrial strength remover. I believe it will do that job for you. Try it on a small area though. I used it to take off some adhesive off a windshield that was used to hold a fast pass transponder. It took it off in a minute or so. Goo gone never even softened the stuff.

Yes, just get some WD-40 spray and a plastic putty scraper and you will be able to remove it in no time. the tape is the foam, double-sided tape in Qty 2 of 1/2" wide each. I never taped mine to the floor because they are in low traffic areas.

I'm not sure if what I used was epoxy, but I used an industrial sealant on my garage floor. It didn't change the color but it made it look like it was wet and it made sweeping and using a squeegee great. Anyway, I applied 3 of them and they worked and continue to work great 3 years later, but one of them eventually did come lose. This was because the area where I put it, the concrete was uneven so the entire thing wasn't adhered. Anyway, that one stayed put for over a year before it came off and it did not remove any of my sealant.

I did not strip the floors, I am guessing it depends what is on them. We used it on a polished concrete floor. Really really good results on an otherwise dismal finish. I highly recommend.

YES!!!! I just spent an entire day stripping it off my floor successfully! Simply sprayed Windex (the one WTIH Ammonia), used a non-scratch scouring sponge to scrub the floor, and a wet towel to wash it away. Took all day but I have a lot of hardwood. It was actually pretty easy and my floors are back!!!!

Hi. Did you find a hand held that is good for picking up urine or liquids from carpet. I'm in search of something. Thanks.

My issue was cat urine on concrete, which wasn't stained since I always tried to clean up the mess asap. So I'm not sure about it's usefulness on stains.
1728325
it's a terrible job; I used this stuff and I compromised my laminate; I tried everything to clean my floor later on and the only way worked was WINDEX for windows, but you have to push very hard when you clean with a cloth by hand because in no other easy way to clean it

I've never had a problem with this product not doing it's job. The issue with carpets is you have to saturate the carpet pad underneath. I use one of those turkey basting/injector syringe with large bore needle at cooking stores to inject or get to the carpet pad underneath. It works nicely to ensure the pad gets the Fizzion as well as the actual carpet. I also use a wet dry vac once I saturate the carpet and then blot to clean. If it's too wet I use the wet dry vac to duck the excess moisture or solution and urine. I put a towel over it and let it air dry after that. I use a black light to ensure the urine is gone.
