Your neighbors didn't think to knock on your door to see what was going on first? And what were you doing the entire homes floor in one go start to smell that strong

This video is not the easiest or cheapest. You need cheap fabric softener, boiling water, $store broom, and paint scrapers with disposable 4 "razor blades. We bought the scrapers that are about 18 in long. Buy extra blades you will need them.First if you peel the plastic top off the paper backing with glue will be left behind. Cut the top part with box cutter, peel plastic. Then boil water add about 1/4 cup fabric softener. Stir pour hot water on floor and spread with broom so it doesn't get on drywall. Leave for about 15 min. Then scrape in long sections. Once you have an open area and follow it, the rest should come up pretty easy. Make your dinner before hand because you will be too tired to care later. We did a 1600 sq ft house and we are in our 70s. It took time, one room at a time. Good luck hope this saves you money. 🌺🌲🌺

This method worked great on about 80% of my floor. Thanks. A couple suggestions for anyone trying it. (1) Make sure you have extra blades on hand. I think if my scraper blade have been changed out it would have done even better. (2) In some spots the backing left will be thicker. Try to get that part down before pouring the water.

So glad I found this video. Was about to give up and just lay vinyl plank over the old vinyl. 2 hours and it’s all up. Kept the room well vented and the hose on and in the room just in case. Cheers

A hose....would be useless... because if it ignited, you would not be alive, you're home would be destroyed and possibly anyone else in the house. Warm water with some dish soap would have done it ot better yet...you could have went right over it with the plank.

DIY is dangerously entertaining!

Thanks I'll try it

Doing mine as well, used terpentine on the glue it was like magic..the other room is like yours there, so I figure you scrape the top layer so the fuel can soak in...

If you perforate the linoleum like you would wallpaper it may save you from scraping off the top finish layer

Did you get that checked before ripping it up, it looks a lot like it could be asbestos backed vinyl.

Is your house still standing? Petrol fumes burn “very rapidly” (‘very rapidly” is a synonym for explode).

It's adhesive. Apply heat to break down the bonds.

Nice video, thank you. Sorry my englisch is not so good. What liquid is in the red bottle?

If possible leave the floor in place and do a floating floor over top of it. A floating floor can easily be removed in the future making the abatement of the Lino underneath easier when it eventually gets done.

By petrol, you mean gasoline?

Yes

Right, but isn't the point avoiding that back breaking first step?

Acetone alone works.

Homie, you need a floor scraper with a long handle

Using another Non Flammable agent wouldn't have done the same job?

No way 😳 kitchen smelling like a shell forecourt. Wife n kids in full blown NBC kit 🤣🤣

How do you get of the gas smell afterwards?

Actually, there wasn't one. Once it evaporated it was all good. I did have a fan on all the time I was doing it to blow away the fumes, so that may have helped.

Dont be concerned about "As Best Us" (Asbestos) because the dangers are only realized when the product is in the dry form and made airborne as in sawdust and any process which creates abundant controlled particulates.

Clearly, using gasoline indoors has its risks!!

Turn of the power and extinguish any pilot lights, turn off heat etc... very dangerous. 1 gallon of gasoline that is vaporized equals about 14 sticks of dynamite

and the smell? residual smell?

I suppose you do not want to do this in winter.

The older the vinyl more chance it's asbestos backed,

can you smoke while doing this?

They have a machine for that

I was calling a professional by 2:26.

That first step looks back breaking.

The easiest way to eat asbestos fibers

I hope nobody actually lays Linoleum anymore

you now have petrol residue in your concrete, not a good idea

Stand up razor scraper. 40bucks 😂

Need a cigarette right now.maybe

These videos drive me crazy😂😂 you can score the floor with a utility knife in strips of 4 inches than use a 4 inch scraper to remove it

My gosh- no pets? No family living there?

Using petrol indoors??? Uh, no.

This video is confusing. You didn’t like the idea of using petrol because it’s dangerous stuff but you used it anyway. Why would you want to make your home flammable? 😂😂😂

Just think should your scraper against that concrete make a small spark. Wow

Floor would be sticky as fk

Nope. Very Flammibale. Lets smoke wile it soaks and see if the roof stays on.

Heat gun.
