Klean Strip Green Odorless Liquid Floor Adhesive Remover 1 gal.2

I used this to get up adhesive from a linoleum sheet floor we pulled up. It worked well and I'd use it again.

Smell isn’t bad, works really well. I took up the tile because I wanted my original tile back. I was happy with the product. Use ventilation and gloves! Can get dizzy. Worked really well! Removed glue!!! Make sure you have a scraper to get the product up. It gets stringy/sticky. Rinse with hot soapy water. Use gloves!!!! See photo. Back to my original tile!!!

No odor or fumes so I didn't have to worry about ventilation. Worked well.

I tested this product on a small area in the kitchen. We had thick, hardened, construction grade glue left stuck to the concrete subfloor after removing engineered wood flooring from when the house was new, 28 years ago. I was really dreading trying to remove the glue after the very labor intensive and terrible job of just removing the flooring. I tried several suggestions I found on line. Nothing worked. Then decided to try Klean Strip. I left it on for 3 hour as recommended. I used a 4 inch putty knife and with little effort the rock hard, thick glue came up. We didn't notice any smell, but we opened the windows just in case. Tomorrow, I plan begin the task of scraping the rest of the floor.

Had to remove worn foam flooring for my fiberglass boat, it had an adhesive backing and other glues to help keep it down as it aged. Matting came up but left most of the adhesive. I tried nylon abrasion wheels and brushes that just moved the mess and took way too much time and work. I was given a recommendation for this product and gave it a try. I was in a hurry so tried after a half hour, after applying light coat of the product and using a 1/2" nylon hand brush I scrubbed and was amazed at the results, see pictures. After scrubbing I took plastic scrapper and paper towels to picked up remains of product and adhesive, then hosed down. Could not believe results! It took a while to do and a fair amount of brushing, elbow grease and after first application I applied a lot heavier and left on longer with better results but could not be happier with the results. No smell, got some on me without issue, just hosed off. After hosing off, cleaned out the small cracks with a little help from nylon brush. Oh, BTW Nylon brush did suffer some. Pictures show before, during and after. Did not buy here but price is comparable. Used only around ½ Gallon on this area.

After removing the top layer of linoleum, I applied a liberal amount to the glued paper and let sit 2 hours as per instructions. All it did was make the floor slippery. It did nothing to loosen or release the glue. Absolutely useless. Would not recommend.

I had about 900 sq ft of my basement that was covered in carpet glue (as in the glue was troweled on in the 60’s in excess). This worked very well after trying a few things to find out what worked best. The best process I found was to spread an even layer over an area and then cover it with a cheap plastic painter’s drop cloth. Then leave it covered over night (about 18-24 hrs seemed best, but no more than 24hrs as it then gets a bit too dry and thick). I then used an industrial floor scraper and a smaller razor scraper to scrape the glue and it came off easily. Then just follow the instructions and wash with soapy water. I used a wet/dry vac after scrubbing and it was a breeze to clean up. As for the smell, it does have an odor, but it’s not a terrible smell and not overwhelming. Again, I used it in my basement and never had an issue with the smell traveling upstairs. And it dissipated within a few hours as the floor dried.
