Removing carpet backing from a concrete floor is a process that requires some effort, but is not necessarily difficult. The first step is to score the carpet backing with a utility knife. This will allow the adhesive remover to penetrate the backing and loosen the bond between the backing and the floor. Once the carpet backing is scored, the adhesive remover can be applied and allowed to sit for the recommended amount of time. After the adhesive remover has done its job, the carpet backing can be scraped away with a putty knife or similar tool. With the carpet backing removed, the floor should be cleaned with a floor cleaner before proceeding with the installation of new carpet or another flooring material.<\/p>\n
