Steps to Remove Adhesive from Tiles

With the following procedures, easily accessible materials, and just a bit of sweat, it is easy to remove floor tiles and the adhesive behind them.

• Turn on the hair dryer and point it at the tiles on the floor. To allow the mortar or mastic to soften, slide it gradually across the tiles.

• Return to your initial set and spend several minutes concentrating on the same area. Turn off the hair dryer and grab your scraper or chisel.

• To peel the corner off from underneath, put the tip into the joint and wriggle it. 

• Lift the tile carefully.

• Use the prying bar for more difficult-to-remove tiles.

• Now use the heat to go over any leftover adhesive residue, then scrape it off.

• When you're done, sweep up and polish the subfloor.

Using a solvent or adhesive remover and rubbing it over the glue with a cloth or sponge till it melts and is readily removed is an additional method. I hope now you understand how to remove tile adhesive from tiles.
