What will remove carpet tape glue out of carpet?

Answer 1

You need to be a bit more specific.

If you are talking about an adhesive type tape, (duct, binding, or strapping tape), there are several commercial solvents available that will remove any residual glue. (Goop, Goo Gone, etc)

If you are referring to the thermoplastic seam tape designed to hold sections of carpet together then no there is no solvent that will dissolve the adhesive.

A professional will try one (or more) of three methods to remove seam tape residue.

1) Heating the glue will bring it back to a liquid state you can then try to wick it into a soft cloth or series of paper towels

2)Cut out the section of carpet & replace it with a patch

3)With a razor knife scrape the glue carefully from the carpet fibers

Note that all three of these methods carry risks to both you & the carpet you're working on. Unless you know what you're doing call a professional.

You're much better off hiring someone to do a small repair rather than paying to replace an entire room of carpet

Answer 2

A mixture of warm water and mild dish soap can help loosen carpet tape glue from the fibers. You can also use a vinegar solution or a commercial adhesive remover specifically designed for carpets. It's important to test any cleaning solution on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the carpet fibers.
