I had a carpet that made the floor underneath sandy. Hardwood has clumps of sandlike junk that i cant get off?

Question

It seems like the thin rug disintegrated and left sandy crap underneath it. I can't remove the sandy crap from the nice hardwood with soap and h20, what product or machine will get it out.

Has anyone had a rug that fell apart on the bottom like this?

Answer 1

All the inexpensive carpeting that had a foam backing did that. If a putty knife won't scrape if off, there's a product similar to " Goo Gone" that will take it off,,good luck!
