Removing lino from floorboards

[jsuyat]

Hey there!

I'm in the infancy of a reno, so will hopefully be getting lots of handy tips from the community here.

My partner and I recently pulled up some of the lino in the kitchen/dining area to see what the condition of the floorboards were underneath.

Pretty excited with what we uncovered (although not sure if I should be worried about the darker stains in the 2nd photo)

Any tips on how to remove this more easily? It's quite an effort pulling it up from the floorboards. It's also left a really sticky residue that I'm unsure as to how to remove

Any advice would be great!

Hi @jsuyat,

Apologies that you didn't receive a reply to your post while I was absent from Workshop. 

I can see why you would be excited - your floorboards look beautiful. You are really lucky! 

Let me tag resident flooring expert @PJA to see if he has some suggestions for you about removing the glue.
