Hi XXXXXX;

The best way is to use a heat gun and a wide putty knife.

Pull the carpet up at a corner and begin heating the glue with the heat gun. Use the putty knife to scrape up what you can of the glue while it is still warm.

Having a helper to pull back on the carpet makes the job go much faster.

Please post any other concerns here.

Best, THS
