What solutions are there for removing glue from a wooden floor or screed?

Solutions for removing glue from a wooden floor:

  1. Acetone: Apply acetone to the traces of glue with a soft cloth and rub gently. Acetone is effective at dissolving residues without damaging the wood, but make sure you work in a well-ventilated room.
  2. White vinegar: Mix white vinegar with a little warm water, soak a cloth and rub gently. This method is ideal for light glues and is also kind to the wood.
  3. Ice: Cool the glue with ice cubes to make it brittle, then scrape it off gently with a plastic spatula.
  4. Specific solvent: For more resistant glues, use a solvent suitable for wood. Test it on a small area before applying it to the whole surface.

Solutions for removing glue from a concrete floor:

  1. Manual scraper: Use a long-handled scraper to remove dry or light residues. This method is simple but can be laborious for large surfaces.
  2. Boiling water: If the glue is water-based, pour boiling water over it to soften it, then scrape it off before it cools.
  3. Chemical stripper: Apply a specific stripper for glue or sealant to the concrete. Leave it to act according to the manufacturer's instructions, then scrape off the softened residue.
  4. Power tool: For very stubborn adhesives or large surfaces, use a sander equipped with an abrasive disc or an oscillating tool.
