re solvent for duct tape adhesive acetone will likely damage the carpet first solvent to try is denatured alcohol do not waste your time with rubbing alcohol you can use methyl alcohol instead of denatured alcohol if you want to have a cocktail while you are removing the goo use pure grain alcohol if the alcohol does not work try carbon tetrachloride if neither of these work you may need to try a stronger solvent but the alcohol works for most adhesives good luck jim
