The way that life is now has become quite different than anyone is used to. There are changes that everyone is making to ensure that they are able to continue with their livelihood. This means that many homes have children that are doing school from the comfort of the kitchen table and parents that are doing their job from home as well. Many companies are offering parents the opportunity to work from home for several reasons. One to participate in social distancing and two to give them the chance to work as well as care for their families. The fact is that now more and more people are home and doing activities that they normally wouldn’t in their house. This means that you need to be ready to do more cleaning up than you are not used to. The cleaning can be from work and school activities that you need to now supervise. You want to make sure you have a way to clean things like adhesive from your carpets after these projects. Tough Carpet Cleaning offers tips for how to get sticky adhesive off your carpets.
What Caused Sticky Marks on Carpet?
You might be thinking you don’t need to worry about adhesive on your carpet but once you realize all the ways that it can get on your carpets you might think twice. If you have a science or art project that your child has to create they can be using glue sticks or tape that gets on the carpet. You might also need to put together a project for college or work with tape and glue. Lastly if you are like most people that are stuck at home you might be getting into projects to pass the time and this might include duct tape, glue, sticky tape and more. If you use these products and they get on your carpets you will need some help getting the mess cleaned.
Sticky Adhesive Will Attract More Dirt
There are some messes that are not a big deal like spilled water. You can use a clean cloth and dab at the area to remove the moisture. Then there are some that have secondary problems such as adhesive. One the adhesive is made to stick that means that it is going to attach to the carpet fibers and can be difficult to remove. The other problem is that the adhesive will act as a way to attract other dirt and debris such as dust, hair and dirt. Then the area that has the adhesive will look like even more of a mess the longer that you allow it to sit there.
How to Remove Sticker Residue & Other Adhesive from Carpet
You want to start the process by taking a hard plastic piece and scrapping as much of the excess as you can. This is important to so that you do not spread the mess further. Then you need to act to neutralize the adhesive with something like rubbing alcohol. You can use it on a clean rag and dab at the area in smaller spots to work the goo off the carpet. This will then let you clean the carpeted area and the adhesive will be gone. Be sure that you repeat the process until all the adhesive has been removed.
