Removal of adhesive tape from wooden floor

[Longshanks]

Hi

I’ve removed some plastic conduit and thin layer of adhesive strip predictably left. I wondered what’s the best remedy to remove without damaging wooden floor?

Many thanks

Is the floor sealed/varnished?
If it is, you can try some WD40 - trial on an unobtrusive area first to check it won't stain.

I always try warm water with a dab of washing up liquid first. For stubborn stuff you can use something like 'Goo-gone', or any number of products to do the job.

Thanks. It’s wooden floor panels in dining room. (Not real wood)

White spirit is supposed to remove some glue. But, I haven't tried. If you are really adventurous, maybe petrol? Again, I haven't tried because I don't have a correctly coloured jerry can.

If the surface is not easily damaged, a window scraper might work. If it's bare wood, high grit sand paper could do it. But, It will give you a "new" spot.

Noted. Thanks

What could possibly go wrong with pouring petrol on a floor?

Managed to get it off with Sticky Stuff Remover from B&Q. (Two layers removed)

Thanks

Depends on who the decorator was. If the caulk was full of cracks, the petrol would leak away.

White spirit will probably work.

As suggested by @Odds Goo-gone should work as should the numerous citrus oil/isopropyl alcohol blends.

Thanks. It’s done now as stated in post 8 above.
