Removing Masking Tape from Hardwood Floors

By SoCal (Guest Post)

Just tried vegetable oil, and it was a SLOW process. The winner is nail polish remover! The tape came off VERY easily!

USE alcohol on a rag...simple! Car dealers & body shops do this to get the sticker residue off of the windows when cars are purchased!

Good Luck!

There is a product called "Goo Gone" that removes sticky tape residue very well. I have also used plain old baby oil/mineral oil to do the same.

Have you tried WD-40? It might work.

Have you tried using a hairdryer on the highest setting to heat it up before you try to peel it off? I haven't tried to remove tape from hardwood floors, but this technique has helped for other items with hard-to-remove tape. Good luck!
