problems with removing linoleum floor

Tags: Flooring & Stairs
Help! I am starting to remove my existing linoleum floor for a laminate floor. How much of the existing glue that stays on the floor do I need to remove? Will I need to remove all of the glue or can I leave it.

You may have not needed to remove the vinyl, but since you are already in the middle of that, I would make sure you make it as smooth as possible, no humps or dips. Or you can install new 1/4 underlay if you can take the height difference.
