How to Remove Carpet & Vinyl Adhesive the Easy Way

When I removed the flooring in my new shop I discovered that there has been vinyl down at some point in the past. Unfortunately, all the old floor adhesive remained and it had to come up. I used a product called Sentinal 626 to make the job a lot easier. Sentinal 626 is a vinyl and carpet adhesive remover. It has no odor and virtually no VOC concerns. It worked great removing the carpet and vinyl glue.

Thank you Stone Cold Steve Austin for the video!

Hahahaha!

[@zeeshimon7138]

Brahahahaha 😂😂😂

[@CCbeans]

😆😆👍

[@bucknbison2297]

Why would you ask? Cause Stone Cold Said So!!

[@katherinem8680]

Watching that glue come up is so satisfying.

[@onnaquest]

Come do my floor lol

[@yo_its_devo]

Wow! This is a superbly made instructional video. Very simple, well edited, straight to the point. Need more videos like this!

[@anncook9434]

@Alison Avery Very much agree!!!

[@kcary6306]

OMG I just spent 6 hours on laundry room scraping away at old vinyl glue....I was the exact example you showed in beginning of how scraping alone just fails....I will be buying this product give this man a medal and some money!!!

[@i_r3aper803]

Did you end up buying it and using it? If so how was it?

[@mrwonderful118]

Wow! You DEFINITELY saved me A LOT of elbow grease. I'm redoing a bathroom and when I took up the tile I realized there was 12yo linoleum on the floor. This will make my job MUCH easier. Thanks!

[@etherealexperience4302]

i’m not going to explain the whole story… but this video changed my life. gave me inspiration to do stuff i’ve put off for a long time. thank you 🙏

[@michaelw624]

Thank you for the very helpful video. I appreciate how you asked common questions and clearly answered them. I also like how you kept the camera still while talking, no fancy effects, and had a clip on microphone. A lot of DIYers could learn a few things from you!

[@Zerosblade13]

Damn dude. That great product. Turned an all day, 4 man team to a 3-5 hr one man job. Thanks for this

[@w1ckedsavvy]

Awesome video! Right to the point, excellently filmed/edited, and super informative. Now I can get that gross, impossible glue off my concrete basement floor! I wish ALL how-to videos on KZbin were as awesome as this one!!

[@raybohn7]

I just sent the manufacturer a message regarding how to determine if this product would work on specific adhesives and how to identify them. Almost 50% of buyers on Amazon complained about product. I can only assume they didn't use it properly or it does not work on certain adhesives.

[@jasonkist1622]

Thanks for the great video. This product is the real deal. We rented an edco floor grinder that didn't work. Over the weekend, we tried some stuff from home depot that just turned it into tacky peanut butter. At my wits end, I watched this video again and then started making phone calls to track this down. We got a 5 gallon bucket from a local retailer. We let it set up for 2.5 hours and we were able to scrape through. Thanks again for the recommendation and great video, saved me today

[@JuanGarcia-kv7yv]

Hey buddy, did you also have linoleum tile or flooring that you first removed and then used this product to remove the glue?

[@rwind656]

I really appreciate this type of review even though I don't have a floor at this point to scrape. Good job!

[@GotItMade]

Thank you R. I am glad you watched it.

[@Ozark8046]

Thank you for your video! I have called my local distributor for a 5 gallon pail. I have a basement in Florida (yes I know!) and the homeowners covered the concrete with old low pile carpet. I have cut that up and out. Now I need to address the residual glue to give me a clean surface. Great job highlighting what appears to be my solution!

[@arthoward5602]

This guy knows how to make an instructional video,great job! Thanks

[@libbycaroline6729]

excellent work. i wish every product review/tutorial was done just like this. maybe by you. 10 stars.

[@davidroberts6909]

Wonderful review video. Short and to the point. Really appreciate the test between five hour and one hour.

[@bstunt]

Been on KZbin since they were born. I've only given a thumbs up to a handful of videos that are really informative. You got my thumbs up!

[@klclaire1118]

Exactly the video I needed. Appreciate the experiment and the follow-up FYI at the end about odor, etc. Thanks so much!

[@leanderross4123]

Great review. If I ever do one, I’ll use this template. Answered all possible questions.

[@christianelder4983]

Except where it can be purchased

[@MzMary801]

Awesome. Thank you so much for your time and effort but especially for your willingness to share your knowledge 🙏🏾

[@kendrairvin5673]

You are Awesome! My husband and I have been looking for a product like this! Thank you!

[@thehamlinwoodshop]

Awesome Fred. Nice to see how easily the glue came off. Glad it worked out for you!

[@GotItMade]

Thanks Hamlin. Let's talk soon.

[@cdthompson8472]

Thank you for your demonstration. I'm so encouraged to be successful!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Man I LIKE your video! You thought of everything! Not super chatty and straight to the point.

[@giselletdc1871]

I love scraping walls and floor. Very satisfying!

[@coffeenut00]

Scraping that looks so satisfying.

[@cattigereyes1]

Thanks I have vinyl over concrete with nasty old glue! Now I know how to get it truly cleaned up!

[@geraldfer]

I have a front porch to do...the grass is years old...I hope all goes well...thank you for this video...it helped calmed my fears...Thank You

[@jjf609]

Excellent video!!. You got straight to the points & just gave us the facts.

[@charlirogers6235]

Thank you so much, this is just what I needed. I'm making a mother-in-law suit out of a tiny add on hair salon that was built on to the fixer upper we recently bought. The floor suffered some water damage and in fixing it discovered the floor is at least 4 layers of vinyl tile over a couple decades years. The top vinyl tile that was under the carpet was covered in some kind of adhesive. I have tried everything. I really did not want to pull up four layers of vinyl to lay the new flooring. I really can't thank you enough. Excellent video, excellent!!!

[@bababooey1266]

Great video, I have glue under old thick linoleum. You answered my question about odor too. Just my wife. Thanks again

[@rawbdiggity]

Perfect, exactly the video I was looking for, thank you.

[@helenclairegould6580]

I hurt my back each time I tried to scrape off the carpet glue on our downstairs bedroom floor. It's a concrete floor, just like this one, but not as big and just around the edges and joins. Now I'm going to have a try - the scraper on a pole is a great idea to prevent back injury, too! Many thanks

[@memlay465]

Most older carpet and vinyl floor adhesives contain asbestos. Wet removal, the way you're doing, is the safest way to go.

[@GotItMade]

Thanks for watching M. I don't know if this adhesive is ACM but the product worked great.

[@thomascolbert2687]

Asbestos in flooring and flooring adhesives was discontinued in the early '60's, earlier in some parts. It's the adhesive with the crystalline additives that are dangerous. They used them from the '80's well into the '90's. Still, your point is valid: If you don't know who made the glue and what it is, it's safest to assume it is asbestos or something else that is dangerous.

[@mp4370506]

Simple and straight to the point I like it.

[@rafaelelmermatiling5067]

Great tip video . Well done ! It will help us on our up coming floor upgrade . Thank you . From Elmer of Texas

[@f5fstop]

Great information. May never be needed, but if it is, good to know of a product that actually works.

[@4eversteena]

You're a life saver! Ty so much for sharing.

[@jacquelinedunlop2728]

Thank you so much. It really made the task easy. Such good clear instructions.

[@PetePuebla]

Great video. Very informative. Good review of this product and I'm likely to purchase. The manufacturer should be paying you for this video.

[@ryanmethric1029]

Great video, this was the best solution I found!

[@waymanlew]

WOW! You just got a new Subscriber! From the GREAT product to the Route 66 Hat! Great in my book!

[@mikecurley2072]

Thank you for the video. I’m organizing an area at work and I have to get a bunch of adhesive off the floor. I’m giving this a shot.

[@TXgigimom64]

Wow, this is going to save me a lot of extra time and effort. Thank you for this video!

[@jameslawless9819]

Recent floor project I had the same problem. It was a concrete floor with adhesive that was rock hard from a wood laminate flooring. I tried a adhesive remover from Lowe's which did nothing. What I used was a plunge cut electric saw with a straight blade. It cut thru the adhesive quickly and effortless. Leveled the floor so I could install vinyl planks. The saw I used was from Harbor Freight not expensive.

[@ronaldshank7589]

The right amount of this product certainly goes a long way, doesn't it?

[@judysetorie8813]

AWESOME!!!! It worked for me...THANK YOU SO MUCH. I had no clue!

[@bryancrump9489]

good idea we use to use sand with a sander wish we had it 20 years ago

[@GeorgiaShootersGroup]

Good job on the video. Not many people on YT can get directly to what a viewer needs to see. Life too short for listening to people ramble on and on and on.

[@robertgomez4304]

Thanks for posting this product worked great .

[@barbaraalexander8037]

Excellent video, thanks.

[@luistello1971]

Thank you for sharing. Great presentation!

[@MrRlsullivanjr]

Great video. Examples were to the point. I have a floor where the vinyl was taken up, but most of the rubber backing was left. I wonder if this product would work in that case.

[@gregstewart1895]

straight to the point. loved this video.

[@kristinal-ghoul2680]

Excellent! extremely useful video. Thank you!

[@saintasiab8581]

Great video! Worked like a charm!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks a lot for the very detailed and to the point video

[@Apostolic3564]

Wow!!! I’m gonna go with your advice! Excellent video, thank you 💖

[@MsMacswell1]

Thanks 🙏🏾 so much! I got a lot of useful information from this video. ☺️

[@hapaboy0808]

Great video! I had a similar situation, except I had historic porcelain mosaic tiles buried under vinyl tile mastic and carpet adhesive. I bought a condo in what was previously a pre-war office building completed in 1910. At some point in its history, square linoleum tiles were glued over the porcelain tiles. When the building was converted to residential in the 80s, the developer simply pulled up the old vinyl floors and glued carpeting over everything. I was concerned because I had read that some of the vinyl tile mastic used in the mid-century contained asbestos. I found a product called Soy Gel which is a paint stripper made from soy beans. It is a thick gel substance that melted the mastic away and encapsulated the gunk. It worked amazingly well and I was able scrape everything up up and clean the floors with dish soap and warm water.

[@shamikeatley4760]

~thnx for sharing tht..!~Soy Gel...i will hve to rmembr thr..!!

[@StonemanRocks]

Hapaboy its the tile that has the asbestos for sure! Not sure about the adhesive! I would bet if not that some of the asbestos from the tile would definitely be embedded in the glue! Ive removed miles of that stuff and no probs so far at 65 yrs old! I always wear dust masks so that had to help some!

[@headspace8338]

The stuff works! Just bought a jug at Home Depot for $35.00. I bought the 747 plus formula to remove adhesive residue from sticky tiles. Tried everything and nothing worked as well as this stuff. Applied it and left it on for an hour, then removed it with a putty knife no problem. Slight odor but nothing bad at all, leaves a slightly greasy residue but cleans up with dish soap and water. Eco-friendly and can be cut with water to get more out of it.

[@thekat9593]

Good demo, need this, thanks!!

[@thegamedudeguy]

This video is great! Now to try it out for myself. Wish me luck!

[@davidnichols4939]

Golly, that stuff was impressive! Makes me wish I had a concrete floor with glue on it.... well I don't really wish I had a concrete floor with glue on it, but mental note made about this product if I ever need to remove this kind of glue. Thanks for sharing!

[@GotItMade]

Hahaha. Yeah, be careful what you wish for David. :-). It really did work like a champ.

[@Smilemaker4u]

You just saved me a ton of money 💰 Thank you for such a straight to the point video. 👏👏👏🥰🥰

[@ClassifyMedia]

This is so useful! Thank you so much!

[@GotItMade]

Thank you for watching CM. :-)

[@steinonj]

Thank you awesome information appreciate time you spent on it

[@savageinnature8905]

Thank you! Gonna try this stuff for my bathroom floor. Paint thinner worked to pull up the flooring but it won’t remove the glue. And it’s saturated my house with its stench.

[@rongorrill4864]

Thanks for sharing this video I think I'm going to try the product

[@mudro001]

I sprayed full strength Amonia on the length of the tape on the floor....scarped up the biggest part of it and put a little Wesson's oil on a paper towel and cleaned up the residue. WORKED!

[@bigmotor3845]

Wow! Thanks for posting this Vid. I have 2100SF to knock out and was kind of scared how to tackle.

[@macjavflix]

Great information and good video in regards to demonstration - thx

[@michaelsedor6807]

Fantastic! Huge help!

[@juliocrespo1544]

I had to do that once for a customer and I used a concrete sander with diamond blade. It did a nice job.

[@donaldgeorge1166]

This was fantastic.

[@dannywilsher4165]

Looking awesome... One step at a time!!

[@GotItMade]

It's coming along Danny. Slowly..... :-)

[@coffeepriest6937]

Great vid, gonna try this product...!

[@bipinmistry3590]

Great Video, very informative! 👍👌

[@mikegardner2376]

worked fairly well, a good rental store will have a floor polisher or floor sander with carbide cutters which can remove the glue. a good flooring sub will use these to remove glue before installing new carpet. they use way less glue on the clean floors.

[@YoungGrizzly]

ADDING TO CART IMMEDIATELY! Update: This worked very well in some areas due to my floor still having sticky spots of glue. The floors are better and should be good for grinding which I may not do. Not sure yet.

[@gsftom]

Excellent video!

[@josephbyler4844]

If this works as good for me as it did for you, my day just got much brighter!!

[@debbiebennett4810]

Superb video. Thx

[@ronaldshank7589]

Great job! You just got me to subscribe! Just curious about a couple of things. One:How much does a container of that product cost? You must've had to have bought quite a bit of it. Two: Not that it's important, but, judging from what I saw in the background, it looks like you were working in a Church. Anyway-Again, great job! After your applications in different areas, and even with different timings, you were still able to get the gunk off of the floor with what appeared to be comparative ease. Keep up the great work!

[@teresaochoa6013]

Very helpful, 😊 thank you!

[@Bicycleboy13]

Thanks for the info!

[@swilli201]

I’m not sure what type of adhesive was on your floors, but I removed some carpet from my suite and there was adhesive on it. So I watched this video and went to purchase the product and it did NOT WORK for me AT ALL! It actually made the adhesive stickier! I followed the instructions and was very upset!

[@chrismench2124]

2 questions. I've seen other videos where the material scraped was sloppy wet. They covered with plastic. Yours looked much dryer. I have a large office space with custom stained wood base to protect on the wall. Did you cover with plastic? Any idea about if the 626 is safe near stained wood?

[@simonchu369]

Super thank you very much 👍👍👍

I've got one room in my house with vinyl on the floor, and several of the other have paint just around the edges where the carpet tack strip was. Do you think this would work just as well on the paint?
