How do I get the old non-slip strips off the floor of my bathtub so that it is clean again?

1. I soaked mine in Goo-Gone. took a lot

2. Eucalyptus oil.

But make sure it's the 100% real deal and not a 5% solution.

3. I live in the desert so the glue was mostly shot

and I pried the strips up with a scraper that uses a razor blade. That left me with just a little glue residue and I found that lighter fluid (naphtha) did a good job of softening it so I could wipe it off. Do use lighter fluid as a solvent only with great ventilation and far away from heater, stove and water heater pilots.

You'll want to soak them off with solvent if this is a fiberglas tub. Test the solvent in an inconspicuous place to make sure it won't ruin the finish.

4. Thanks for the suggestions. The lighter fluid sounds workable but at the age of 70 I think I will

leave it to my daughter. I do sometimes make real mistakes.

5. You could try a safer solvent

One of goo gone's ingredients is naphtha, if I remember correctly. The acetone in goo gone will also help. It's significantly less flammable.
