Removing Masking Tape from Hardwood Floors?

I taped the hardwood floor with masking tape a long time ago to paint the moldings. I'm just getting around to removing it and having an awful battle! Anyone have any solutions to try? Thanks!

Have you tried using a hairdryer on the highest setting to heat it up before you try to peel it off? I haven't tried to remove tape from hardwood floors, but this technique has helped for other items with hard-to-remove tape. Good luck!

Have you tried WD-40? It might work.

There is a product called "Goo Gone" that removes sticky tape residue very well. I have also used plain old baby oil/mineral oil to do the same.

USE alcohol on a rag...simple! Car dealers & body shops do this to get the sticker residue off of the windows when cars are purchased!

Good Luck!

I wouldn't use regular alcohol. Go to true value hardware or any hardware store to find it in the paint section. It kind of reminds my of acetone but its not

Just tried vegetable oil, and it was a SLOW process. The winner is nail polish remover! The tape came off VERY easily!
