GAF, I need your help. What's the best (easiest) way to remove double sided adhesives and its residues from a concrete wall?

I checked and found that applying heat to it will help but what else can be done preferrably using house items?

Steamer and then scrape.

Edit- house items? Hot sponge and scrape I guess.

Hair dryer

Hair dryer

Will that remove residues too?

 

[Cormano]

Goo gone?

Use a degreaser with citrus as the active ingredient. Saturate it and let it soak. Scrape off. Adhesive remover or Laquer thinner is more effective but pricey.

I'll check the degreaser thing. Goo gone isn't available here. I'll try first the hair blower.

I would try Goo-gone (or some other adhesive remover) or acetone (some fingernail polish removers have acetone) which you can buy at Lowes/Home Depot/etc. Maybe mineral spirits if those do not work. Test the acetone to see if it will also affect the finish on the wall.
