What will your new floor be? If it will be laminate, carpet or new vinyl you do not need to be too picky. If you are doing tile then I would get as much of the old adhesive up as possible. Good luck.

You mentioned removing old linoleum or vinyl with various scraping tools, but do you also use some kind of solvent to help release the adhesive? I'll be removing linoleum (or vinyl? Not sure which it is) from a concrete floor. Any suggestions? Thanks! Good show!
