Q: How do you remove carpet glue from hardwood floors?

A: Hire a professional to sand it off. It is the easiest way. If there are gaps in the floor, it likely won’t be possible to remove it from there. The sanding company may choose to seal the floor with a de waxed shellac to serve as a barrier coat.
