There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.</p></div>

Q: How many years does good carpet last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Carpet lasts</a> between five and 15 years. However, your carpet's life span will depend on several factors, such as its type, cushion, and the amount of foot traffic it receives. After 10 years, most carpet will show some signs of wear and tear, which might include fading, wrinkling, and loss of texture.</p></div>

Q: What is the best solvent for removing carpet glue?

• <div><p>The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.</p></div>
