The trick is to know what to use, and you probably already have it stashed in your garage.
Things You Will Need
-
Spray the double-sided tape with a heavy coating of WD-40, until the entire surface is coated with oil.
-
Cover the wet tape with strips of paper towel to keep the WD-40 concentrated on the taped areas of ceramic tile; allow the WD-40 to stand for 30 minutes.
-
Remove the paper toweling from the double-sided tape.
-
Scrap the tape from the tile, using a razor scraper and taking care not to scratch the surface of the tile. The double-sided tape and adhesive will lift easily; wipe the razor scraper often with a rag to prevent buildup on the scraping surface.
-
Wipe up the tape residue and clean the ceramic tile immediately, using your usual cleaning product.
The Drip Cap
- Many double-sided tapes are meant to be permanent, but you may wish to move the rug or other object that has been taped to a ceramic floor.
