Linoleum Directly Over Hardwood Floors.


Some jerk in the 1970s glued some sheet linoleum directly over some hardwood floors in a hallway at a future job. Eventually all of the floors will be refinished. How to I get up the linoleum? I tugged on it and it came up fairly easy, but underneath is a white looking glue. How do I get the glue off the floor?

thanks in advance,
Brian

Re: Linoleum Directly Over Hardwood Floors.


If the floors are going to be refinished just let the floor guys sand it off when they rough cut the floor.
