Removing Duct Tape From Carpet |
|
|
When I needed to place phone cord across my living room floor, I duct taped it down to prevent tripping over the wire. My problem now is removing the duck tape and the residue without damaging the carpet. Any tips on the removal would be most helpful.
Thanks, Jen

I work as a Housekeeping Supervisor for a University. Duct tape a staple in college dorms. We use a product called De-Solv-it to remove the residue. It is the only thing I have found that really works! De-Solv-it can be purchased at Wal Mart in with the furniture polish. It is non toxic and can be used on most surfaces. Excellent product! Give it a try and I'm sure you will be impressed. Good Luck

The lighter fluid actually worked pretty well... Less than two minutes with some Jon-e fluid (same thing as lighter fluid) and a piece of paper towel took some long-time, well-pressed-in duct tape residue right out.

If Lestoil doesn't work (thanks for that bit of info, by the way, chima, I didn't know about that), try lighter fluid or GooGone. Lighter fluid is cheaper, but GooGone smells much better (I use orange scented). I've yet to find a sticky residue GooGone couldn't handle.

Try Lestoil. It removes glue residue and stains from everything else - why not carpet too!? :-)
