Remove double sided tape?

Question

I used double sided tape to stop plastic runner from moving i have now lifted the runner but cant remove a big plack sticky mark from my light colored carpet.

Answer 1

get a cloth that you will not use any more.  

get some turpentine spirit.  

put some spirit onto the cloth.  Rub the area u want to remove.  The glue sticky substance will become less resistent.    Keep onto it.  Use sufficient turps.

and there u go!

Answer 2

Oxy-clean.

Answer 3

I can't know for certain HOW TO, with regard to the substance, but I do know this much. Extraction would be the better process.

  The issue you face regarding any substance that will dissolve the residue, also adds the risk of just spreading some of it, creating an even larger stain. Certainly that would also relate to the species of fabric the carpet is made of.

  No offense, but if I believed in everything BILLY MAYS sold on TV infomercials, I'd have a house full of useless stuff

   As suggested however, there are products that would likely dissolve/loosen the residue, such as GOO GONE, or even Mineral Spirits, but that doesn't promise the stain will be instantly SUCKED out of the carpet fibers. In fact if any of the stain leaches to the base, and beyond into the padding, it will leach back at some point.

Just my two "sense"
