How to Remove the Sticky Residue on Wooden Floors From Under My Rug
- 1). Spray the sticky residue with a lubricant spray. Use the type of water displacement lubricant spray you would use on squeaky doors. Allow the lubricant spray to sit on the sticky residue for a few minutes to soften it.
- 2). Rub the site of the sticky residue on your wooden floor with a clean cloth. Remove as much of the residue as possible.
- 3). Apply a capful of baby oil to a clean cloth and buff the oil into remaining sticky residue. The oil breaks down the sticky adhesive so it is easier to remove.
