removing DS tape from wood floor

Jul 26, 2005 3 Replies

Any ideas on how to remove double-sided tape from a hardwood floor without ruining the finish? There was carpet in the laundry room and i pulled it out because I didin't want moisture to build up under the rug. It was stuck with DS tape. There is about a three foot strp that is stuck really, really good. TIA.

Both responses may do the trick. Also Goof Off or Goo Off or some such brand will also work.

The key, in my opinion. Is to try some in a spot that will not be seen. make sure what ever you use will not harm the finish.
