Removed Vinyl - stuck with mildew
smell!
Added February

Q. Having removed glued down vinyl
flooring from a concrete subfloor in a bed room, there
is still glue left on the floor. It has a strong mildew smell.
Ive tried bleach and Tilex, but neither got rid of the odor.
There is no moisture in the room and the floor is dry. What
do you suggest to remove the smell?
A: You can try sealing or painting. With the glue
being left, you might have problems with adhesion. Usually
bleach will kill mold and mildew. You can try getting the
floor wet and using enzyme digester and deodorizer, letting
it dry. You might have to do it twice. .
