Question:

How do you remove flooring adhesive from cement ?

Just removed an old lenoleum flooring, ( 50 years), and a Parkay floor. Do they make a floor sander or are there any chemicals that can be used?

Answer:

Hand floor scraper is your best bet. The glue from the Parquet will be very hard since these old glues almost crystallizes . Getting the high stuff off and then use a grinder if you need to get it to cement again. VERY dusty though..There are no solvents safe to use in a residential setting that will work . Depending on what you are going to put down again will determine just how clean you need to get the flooring. Any flooring questions you can e mail me through my avatar.GL
