Any tips for removing adhesive from hardwood floors? I just pulled up carpet and vinyl that's who knows how old from a bedroom in my house. The vinyl left behind a paper backing and the adhesive.
I did have some luck testing with steam and scraping, but if there is a better way, I'm open to trying it. Steam and scraping takes forever!
I'm a little concerned about using steam, since it may be pushing the adhesive further into the pores of the wood, but since there is already some kind of finish on it, it may not be that big of a deal. Planning on sanding and refinishing afterwards anyway.
