How to remove sticking pads from stairs

Logo

Trying to remove Lidl stair mat sticking pads that were used to cover the stairs. Does anyone know an easy way to remove these sticky pads? I'm using a paint scraper and a grinder without much luck. Any better ideas?

Don't know the pads you're talking about but WD40 works a treat for most sticky stuff. let it soak for a while

multi solve is great stuff for jobs like that

jack of all

A little gentle heat (from a hair dryer) can also help to soften adhesives like this.

I found white spirits to work better than WD40

Stinks out the place though

I’d google side effects of wd40 before using it

A lot of people use it for something they shouldn’t & there are longer lasting unwanted effects.
