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 guess pretty much all the glue has to be gone or the stain won't take. Think this will chip it up?

No, sorry to say this tool will not do what your looking to do with it. This tool is wonderful for removing cermaic tile from substrates. A carbide head on a buffer would do a better job but still may not remove all the residue.

No, this is for resistant , brittle material , Tile , thinset, but will gouge the concrete. The equipment you need are specialty grinders, the adhesive has gotten into the pores of concrete, to be done properly a thin layer of surface must be removed.

I think if its tile floor or vct tile no problem but if its mastic glueNo you need to use remover like a striper so you can stain

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.

I would use a long handle razor blade floor scraper and use a floor machine.

This will not work because it will gouge the floor. You may want to use a razor blade style telescoping floor scraper to get the heavy stuff and a solvent to dissolve and remove the rest of the glue. Since you want to stain the concrete you may have to use a solvent to get all the residue and then use a floor machine that will grind the concrete surface so stain will work. You may be able to skip the solvent if you rent the proper floor machine. Good luck!

You don't want to use it for that purpose. It is difficult to remove and would leave a residue. You are better off going some where that sells carpet. They have specific products to go under carpet to not only protect the floor but to also act as an anti slip mat to keep the carpet in place. There is everything from a waffle-weave rubber mat to a thick anti-slip padding. When choosing be aware of any doors that may have to clear the carpet. That may dictate the type of mat you buy.

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.

If you have a piece of leftover flooring try the Goo B Gone on it Another suggestion is to go to Home Depot and inquire I only used the only used the Sticky Paws on fabriccIt did not work any better on fabric

It will not. I have applied to my wood floor and removed at least once or twice and it has not left any marks or residue. The carpet has shown no signs of damage as well. For example, I had to move a large piece of furniture through my entry way and I peeled the carpet back and then reseated it once I was done. The tape has maintained its tackiness the whole time with no issues.

NO, use a good quality Epoxy Stain.. If the floor is cured concrete, cure time is usually one to two years or more.

No, I have owned this machine for many years (Dec 2009) and I have run everything through it. Bleach, Mr Clean, Lysol, Pet Floor, Oxy Clean (dissolved and run through a sieve), TSP, Murphy's (a favorite) and I have used "Dry Foam" (a non-aerosol encapsulating product you mix with water) from the commercial supply house to clean the short pile rugs I have by my doorways. The only things you can't run through it are flammable solvents. I run a clean water rinse through it after I use a corrosive cleaner like bleach before putting the Floormate away. I'm here buying a Floormate as a gift for my sister in law. So my own 4 year old Floormate is still going strong with all of these other cleaning products used.

I just made the mistake of picking up "polish" rather than "cleaner". My floor is ruined. Fortunately, I had only done a section of floor. I am reading now what to do about it. Can't believe how many "mad" people there are who already ruined their floors---never again. Once they are fixed- think I will try the ammonia/water mix. Wish me luck-- Goodbye Bona!!!!!

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.

Supposedly. However, I just threw away a brand new cd that Novus 7100 #2 scratched up. The only reason I tried to use this was that the deck in my car caused a several abrasive marks on the cd. I used the product as stated. Shake very well and test on small patch. Seemed to do okay so I proceeded. I used a brand new, clean microfiber cloth. I noticed as I was polishing/buffing the surface with the #2 liquid, micro swirls were created. Fortunately, I ripped the disc to my computer prior to trying this, so now I'm burning a new MAM-R Gold Archival CD which hopefully my rip was good. So if you are determined to use this stuff, make a clean copy off the disc you are going to clean. Supposedly. However, I just threw away a brand new cd that Novus 7100 #2 scratched up.

The green pad will strip the finish off your hardwood floor. It is very coarse and I used it to scrub my concrete floor in the basement after a flood. The least abrasive pad available on Amazon is the white one, but even that may be too rough. There is also a terrycloth "bonnet" that is used for polishing floors. I would try that with a non-abrasive solvent to avoid damaging the finish. Can you find out from the builder what the stuff is on the floor and Google how to remove it safely? Best of luck!

I just read Mary & John's comments - should have read them prior to writing mine! I did soak and cover some areas and it may have made the rest of my procedure move along faster. Peeling the carpet back was not an option in may case - makes sense: would have taken way less time to clean from both sides and could have dried completely. I cleaned my son's large area rug that way using my process...took it outside on the patio on a hot, sunny day and was able to really scrub both sides. After extracting as much water as I could, I layed it across some saw-horses and it dried really fast. Hope this helps!

This was a big concern for me also but I can assure you it comes up very easily without hurting any surface at all. I have 3 cats that dive bomb my entry rug and I need to re tape the rug occasionally depending on how rough the play has been and never had a problem getting the old tape off either the floor or the carpet.

The acid etch solution is in the epoxy kit, unless you just want a shiny floor i would recommend Epoxy. you can color it to your preference and also get flakes if you like that (i didn't at first want it but turned out really good). Also if you are in California like i am - this is no longer allowed all local places pulled it from shelves and i luckily found online before they stopped shipping to california as well. Good luck!

You have a problem. Ideally you would repour the garage floor, but that is not practical. Depending on how much of the floor is settled, you might use a top coat cement that comes premixed. The other option is a rubber or vinyl sill that glues to the cement floor. These are not great options. I would try the top coat cement first. Cement doesn't cost that much. Sorry I don't have better alternatives.

I hope I can try to help you. The spelling you have is a bit confusing to me. I bought this product through Amazon because I could no longer find floor wax in the grocery or market stores. No one waxes floors anymore. I still had an old relic at the time and needed to do this. I have always been pleased with this product. Since this purchase, I replaced the floor and no longer have to do this chore.

Dear Klunch, If your marble floor is rough, yhis is not the product for you. This is simply an excellent polish. It is my humble opinion, not physically seeing your floor, that your marble needs to be honed and polished. That is generally performed by a firm that comes in with buffing and honing equipment. I'd get several estimates and check with your local BBB before hiring the company to do the work. I hired a company without checking them out and ended up with machine ringlets everywhere. What a nightmare! So be certain to CHECK THEM OUT or get their references. Best of luck to you. Dear Klunch, If your marble floor is rough, yhis is not the product for you.
