I wouldn't mind living there ...Beautiful home. I wouldn't mind living there myself.<br /><br />Onto your wonderful looking floor there.<br />Don't use an electric scraper; carpet/vinyl removal machine as they are used over concrete flooring, but I'd be real concerned about what they'd do to a much softer hardwood floor. I'd be concerned that an electric floor stripper would make match sticks out of it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />instead is see if either water, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner (which is mostly toluene, or acetone) will dissolve the old adhesive. If any of them do, then put down some solvent over an area and immediately cover with wax paper to prevent the solvent from evaporating. As the solvent penetrates through the cardboard to the glue at the cardboard/glue interface, it will soften the glue at that interface making the cardboard easy to scrape off the glue with a putty knife. As the solvent penetrates deeper and deeper into the glue, it should make the glue easier to remove by scraping with either a putty knife of paint scraper.<br /><br />None of the above mentioned solvents will harm wood. (Water will make wood swell and possibly raise it's grain if there's no wax or polyurethane over the wood.) Mineral spirits won't harm polyurethane, but the other two solvents will etch polyurethane and probably dissolve Carnauba Wax. But, in all liklihood, you're going to have to refinish the hardwood anyway.<br />Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-1040122907056092102014-09-10T11:32:17.527-07:002014-09-10T11:32:17.527-07:00I noticed Soda is sitting on white wood floors.

It is so unpretentious for a Hollywood couple but maybe their year around house is more glamourous. Soda is SO cute! Your floors are not. But I know the floors will be beautiful after your hard work.

Have you considered renting a drum sander with vacuum attachment to attack that nasty floor? It sure would save a lot of work for you and you wouldn't have to wet down the cardboard to get it off. Nicole Curtis swears by them (from Rehab Addict -- love that show). Your house is looking so fab in the rooms you have finished; as my friends keep on reminding me, you (I) can't get it done all at once, well, not unless you (I) had a LOT of money and could afford to get people to do everything that needs to be done while you (I) sat out on the patio being fanned...Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575870809633911343noreply@blogger.com
