Glue/Adhesive on Garage Floor

[Brownie]

Any ideas on how to remove an adhesive from a cement garage floor? My DH thinks the former owners had mats to park their motorcycles on. When they removed the mats, a sticky-gooey mess was left on the floor.

I've put old towels down and removed the stickiest (is that a word?) part. We sure would like to get the rest of it off!

Thanks.

When I had wood floors put down in a room which had previously been carpeted, the workers scraped off the glue that had been used to stick the carpet pad to the cement (slab) foundation. They used a big, metal scraper (about two feet long) with a very sharp blade. That glue was dried though - not sticky.

Does that help?

We'll give that a try. Maybe it will get most of it off. I think what is bothering DH now that most of the "stickiness" is gone is the discoloration. He may just have to live with that.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Maybe there is something like Goo-begone, thats what I use on small things like labels on jar. But you would have to use a large amount of it. It only comes in small amounts.

try soaking it with mineral oil for a bit first. If that doesnt work, try heating it up with a hairdryer and scraping it off with a plastic scraper. A super hot wet towel and a scraper also works for some sticky stuff.
