I live in an apartment building dating back to the 1800s, and have very old unfinshed wooden floors. When I moved in, I bought very cheap carpeting just to cover them, and used a heavy duty double-sided tape to secure it to the floor. I am moving in one week and am having a very difficult time getting it up. any suggestions? i'm rather desperate.

- removing double-sided tape
Greetings MissJ,
Try a product called De-Solv-it. Great on things like price stickers and other gluey things that won't come off. I think my wife purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond but I think you can find at supermarkets, etc. Best of luck!
P.S....some more info, including where to find:

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try!
Do you know if any ecological methods of removing the tape?

Hmmmm, haven't thought about that (ecological methods). Not sure how earth-friendly that product is, but typically you use so little--just a spray, and wait a few minutes for the glue to dissolve. But that's probably not what you want to hear. There could be eco-alternatives...but I don't know off-hand. (If you find one, please let us know!)
