How to remove adhesive carpet tape from carpet 

You are my hero!! I used a teflon sheet instead of a paper bag and the tape stuck to teflon so I didn't have to pull the tape at all. Still, I wouldn't have even thought of heating rhe adhesive. My mom put double sided tape under a rug to keep it still, and the tape didn't stick to the rug, but stuck hard to almost brand new carpet (less than 2 years old). It's been grating on my nerves for over a year and just now I reached my "I can't take this anymore" point. The tape is completely up. Thank you so much!!!

THANK YOU!!! It worked PERFECTLY to remove double sided carpet tape from my carpeting. I placed it there to keep the corner of an area rug from being a trip hazard. This technique was EASY AND QUICK! Thank you So much for posting this! I used my iron on the Low/Synthetic setting. It was quick and painless. 🙏🏼🙌🏼

THANK YOU!!! Used a Whole Foods paper bag and an iron, and the tape stuck to the bag and then the rest peeled right off! Saved hundreds of dollars and hundreds of hours!

Thank you for this video! Just want to say that a hairdryer was able to remove a super sticky clear tape from carpet for me as well!

Thank you so much for posting this video. I tried many things to remove carpet tape and nothing worked except what your instructional video shows. I really appreciate your help! I restored my carpet this morning thanks to you.

THANK YOU! I used Alien Tape on a runner over carpet walkway. It was UGLY when I took the runner up. I used Parchment Paper since it was all I had on hand. WORKED! Appreciate your sharing this information.

Thank you!!!! The iron really worked on this carpet tape even after peeling off the white, the clear sticky part was still on and I thought my carpet was permanently damaged. This totally worked!

That method also works with candles too Thanks. 👍

Thanks so much. I was beginning to think I would have to replace carpet. Never again will I use this stuff.😮

This video helped so much! I was wondering if I would damaged my carpet trying to fight with this adhesive tape but after I watched this video I followed the exact steps and it worked perfectly! You def have to make sure it’s hot enough and it literally melts the tape and comes right off! Thank you for sharing!!!!! I used LOW SYNTHETIC SETTING & ironed over here for like 3 -5 minutes and it came right off.

Thank you so much, it worked perfectly after 12 years on the carpet...redesigned bedroom now is perfect and no residue or marks. Thank you

U just saved my sanity. I thought my giant, super absorbent, sixty FREAKING dollar dog rug that I spent a year talking myself into buying was ruined by carpet tape that no doubt used surgical glue as adhesive. Came right off. Good on u sir, thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I am moving house tomorrow and got a rug up and the adhesive strip was stuck to the carpet! All removed really quick and simple and most importantly it worked

Thank you so much. I've been wondering for months how to get the tape up. That was so easy, quick and convenient.

Same problem except mine is an area rug that I love. Washed it and didn’t think the residue was bad, but is collecting dirt in a couple spots. I’ll definitely give this a try. Thank you.

Amazing. Thank you! I thought I’d ruined the whole carpet after changing rugs for the first time in 2 years! Thanks again for sharing. Phew!!

Thank you, this was a much needed tip! Bless your cotton Sox!

Thank you - tried everything until I tried the iron. Worked immediately!

I just removed some tape from the carpet that had been there for several years with this method I use baking parchment paper and it came right off!!!

Fantastic. Thanks, worked for me last night though carpet is still faintly tacky where the weeks-ago-applied-tape's been lifted off, so I will try passing a steam mop with microfiber pad over it and see how that goes. If that doesn't work I will spray diluted washing liquid in hot water as per another RU-vid vid on the same problem but nevertheless I'm very pleased at the initial result.

awesome man. worked like a charm. had 4 spots of tape all cleared out in less than 5 minutes. cheers

Flipping heck I've got as much as you on very similar carpet and couldn't get it off. I've been watching so many videos but either they show tiny area's but mines bad just like this and thought I'd never be able to remove it. I haven't got an iron I have a steamer but hopefully will do the same thing. What a nightmare the tape is and it took off a load of pattern from my new rug when I lifted it. This tape should come with a warning. Even my feet are sticking to it. Great for rugs but a bitch to remove. I hope this works 💪🏽

Thank you so much, your video saved me so much time and a lot of back pain that I most definitely would have had....

Good to know. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

Brilliant idea - I've been looking at buying chemical remover but I'm an asthmatic and all the commercial solutions available will affect my breathing. Many thanks for this.

Just use another piece of carpet tape to grab it …figured it out whilst watching this haha

Thank you 🙏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼 for getting me out of a sticky situation ! Brilliant idea ! 🌟

This treatment worked great! Now, I need to find a solution to remove stickiness from the carpet where the adhesive was

You helped us save our deposit! Thank you SO much for this!

Thank you. Bought a outdoor rug at CostCo and I ruined the rug by adding WD40 to get sticker off. This would have been a much better choice

Thank you!!! Saved me a ton of time today.

I put silver aluminum duct tape on the carpet as a temporary 'electrical grounding' mat... and a week later it's shredded and cannot be removed. Have you ever tried to remove silver aluminum 'duct' tape from carpet? Now, however,I realize i SHOULD HAVE put standard duct tape on carpet first, and covered it with the flimsy aluminum tape layer. that way it can be removed due to the lasting integrity of the (underneath layer of) duct tape fabric. Live and learn. thanks for this video which showed me how standard duct tape CAN be removed. peace, carol

This worked amazing omg you just saved hours of my life, thank you

please what brand tape was this, i am looking for one to work this well, but so many mixed reviews on a lot of them on amazon; thanks for the tips.

Mine is the roll of carpet protector, where some is not budging 😢 will try this and see 🙏🏽 Thanks for loading

Man o man! It worked perfect for me. Thank uou sooo much

Thank you! That was a lifesaver!!

Done this morning thank you worked perfectly 100%

Thank you so much for posting this worked like magic

Thank you! This was extremely helpful!!

This worked great and fast!!!

Works with gorilla tape as well! Thank you!

Try 99% isopropyl!! I had duct tape stuck to a shag carpet and the tape was pulling it out. I poured some isopropyl on to it and it came off like nothing 👍👍👍

Thanks I will be trying this method!

Great tip, thank you.

Don't just check the heat of bag- check carpet to make sure it doesn’t melt.

I will give it a try and let you know if it worked. :)

thanks, that will save me time.! BIG THX

Would this work on adhesive that’s like over 20 years old

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you. Very helpful. 👍

I used a hairdryer much easier and quicker.

I did this but it melt the tape into the carpet

Wow thank you very much

Why is tape on top of the carpet. Isn't tape usually on the underside of the carpet, at the seams?

Amazing Life Hack!!! Thanks :)

Or, if you not an idiot, use a blow dryer...Works in seconds.
