I am assuming you have pulled up hession backed carpet this is a good thing ! the underlay will mainly be sticking to the main walk ways. Go to a good hardware store and buy yourself a long scraper (this will allow you to scrape off the underlay standing up rather than sitting down and giving yourself blisters) this tool will cost you around $40-$50 from memory . Good luck<br><b>References : </b><br>experience Hi i am a tradie with some experience having laid and pulled up old carpet.

Add vinegar to a gallon of warm water. Spray the foam thoroughly. Let it sit for a while. Then scrape floor. The vinegar breaks up any glue so it should come off relatively easy. The vinegar smell will only be temporary.<br><b>References : </b><br> Besides the scraper, I would get a bottle of white vinegar and a spray bottle. Add vinegar to a gallon of warm water.
