How do I remove sticky double-sided carpet tape residue from bamboo flooring?

We have a carpet runner at our office that has been taped down to a bamboo floor with double-sided carpet tape and masking tape. We want to get rid of the runner, but the carpet and masking tape have left a heavy, sticky residue on the bamboo floor. How do I remove the glue without compromising the clear floor finish on the bamboo?

1. Rub it with a little paint thinner on a clean white cloth.
2. Goo-Gone...works like a champ.
3. use parsons ammonia cleaner. Any thing else will ruin the finish on the bamboo. If that has already happened you can screen the floor and refinish it. Screening is a light sanding process that will remove scratches and glue and anything else and then you can add a new finish.
