Dave , I was just helpin out, and I never assume folks already know what to do. This is a forum after all, and these are ideas, just what you asked for. Glad it worked out for you.

Hardwood flooring gives an ultimate and elegant look to your house. It is not really difficult to maintain the hardwood flooring. I just dust it everyday, which is more than enough it gives the shine which it had in the beginning.

I would try denatured alcohol.If that doesn't work,try Citristip.It is really
good but home depot quit selling it,so I don't know where to get it.I want
to get more.Maybe GoofOff would work.Last,elbow grease and a plastic
scraper.

I have the same problem, and am looking for a different material non-skid rug pad for the future, will let you know what I find. You posted this some time ago, don't know if you found a solution, but for your future ref:

To clean, best product is Bestine Rubber Cement Thinner. You will find this in any art supply store ( at utrechtart.com it's $8.99 a pint, get at least a couple depending on how big an area).

Wear protective gloves, and apply with large cotton pad. I would flood an area of the floor and just begin wiping away in a buffing motion, may take a couple times with fresh cotton pad and cleaner - It will remove the rubber without damaging the floor finish.

This stuff is great in general to have on hand to remove any sticky residue from price stickers, labels, etc. I have even used it on fabrics....Have never had it destroy a surface (not like rubbing alcohol which will cloud plastics and doesn't do a good job anyhow)

A lot of talk above was about what to use on floors, but I would like to know how to get the black backing of a carpet off of a cement floor. We had flooding and the carpet came up but not the black backing. Any suggestions and soon, please?
