I have the same problem with stuck carpet backing on my Sea Ray cockpit decking. What procedure did you follow with the purple power? Did it yellow the floor at all? Thanks in advance.
Thoughts on putting snap-in carpet on the swim platform

Simply mopped it on a section, let it sit for a few minutes, and the scrubbed it off. I would then follow immediately with hosing the area down. No yellowing whatsoever to this point and its been about a year.

Thanks! All they had was the spray bottle, I'll let you know how it works.

Wasn't a miracle cure. It did seem,wwith some serious scrubbing with a stiff bristled brush, to remove 40-60% of the backing. Going to give it another try for the rest. Thanks again for the help.

Was your spray bottle stuff same concentration as mine?

Not sure about that. But I applied it without dilution. I'm going to give it another try, but it is pretty hard and stuck on. Thanks for your continued interest!

There has to be a difference. Often you find spray bottle solutions are pre-diluted so you can spray directly on a surface without having to mix with water.
As you can see from my before picture mine was pretty bad and was impossible to remove with Simple Green even after soaking for an hour.

I just wanted to say thanks to whoever brought up the backing staining the deck. Because of this thread I asked the dealer to pull my carpet and roll it up during the pre delivery detailing. They got to clean the deck of that backing stuff. Now to figure out what is going to replace it though right now I'm loving the plain deck.

It was the same concentration in the spray bottle. I think it was just really "BAKED ON". Basically elbow grease has gotten 95% off. Thanks for the tip though
It is a good product and did remove all the residual dirt from deck.
