Tips for Effortlessly Removing Porcelain Tile and Grout Adhesive

Removing porcelain tile adhesive can seem intimidating and challenging, however with the right tools and materials it can be easier than expected. To begin, you will need a small blade from a razor and a paintbrush to spread the glue remover. Start by scraping off most of the tile adhesive from the tiles and between them. Spread the glue remover with the paintbrush, making sure to cover all the crevices for the most effective removal. After the remover has had time to soak into the adhesive, use the razor blade to scrape off the soft adhesive. Allow the tiles to dry completely and then use the blade to scrape off any excess glue.

The next step is to grind the adhesive off the walls with an angle grinder. Use the grinder over the tiles in a smooth manner, making sure not to stay in one place too long. Once the adhesive has been ground off, use a wet sponge to wipe off any remaining residue and debris. Dry the tiles and then it should be relatively easy to remove any leftover soft glue.

When using traditional tile adhesive, use the blade to scrape off any excess and then spread a remover to soften the rest. Allow the remover to soak in for some time and then scrape off the softened adhesive. Reuse the tile if it is still in good condition after all of the glue has been removed.
