The truth behind appearance: when the environment plays tricks

After many opinions split online, the explanation has finally fallen. What she took for worms was not actually alive. The constant humidity and heat of the bathroom had wreaked havoc on the coating of the carpet. Over time, the rubber wires under the carpet had begun to deteriorate. Result? They had detached, melted and stuck to the ground, creating this deceptive appearance.

One relief, of course, but a new problem arose: how to clean this sticky residue?

Tips for removing molten rubber residues

The online community has not lacked solutions to overcome this inconvenience. Here are some tricks that have proved their worth:

Hot water and spatula:

A simple but effective method. Simply boil water, gently pour it onto the residue to soften them, and then use a spatula to scratch smoothly without damaging the soil.

The white vinegar duo and sodium bicarbonate:

This well-known mixture is effective against stubborn stains. Apply generously white vinegar to the residue, sprinkle with bicarbonate, leave to act for a few minutes, then rub with a sponge. The rubber should become more easily detached.
