Mr. Clean magic eraser. You will have to put some elbow grease into it, but it will get them clean.

If it is ceramic tile, use oven cleaner to clean the grout and ammonia to clean the tile itself. You can use the oven cleaner on the tile part as well, it just gets kind of expensive. But, to clean the grout, spray the oven cleaner on and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Spray enough so it does not dry in this time frame. Then come back and scrub with a wrie type brush or a green scrubby pad dipping the brush/pad in a bucket of hot water in between to keep it clean. Wear protective gloves and a mask to cover your mouth and nose while using the oven cleaner. You will find that in using the oven cleaner, you will not have to scrub nearly as hard as with other cleaners.

do you want to remove them or clean them? If you want to remove them then get a pry bar and start prying them up or a spade shovel roofers use wont take long at all this way. If you want to clean the floor tiles them go get some,,,goof off,,you can buy it anywhere at least in the states you can...it will take all stains out but you will need to polish the floor when done..and goof off will also get the old glue off of the floor...its awesome but it stinks...its a miracle worker..

Be sure to have lot's of ventilation before trying this.
First, try the casutic soda solution as mentioned above. Wear skin, eye, and protection from breathing the fumes.
If that doesn't work, try a solvent such as white spirit. If that doesn't work try something like lighter fluid.
In all cases uses a scotchbrite pad and rub by hand.
If its a large area, too large to scrub by hand, hire an industrial floor machine. They come with coarse bristle brush discs and buffing wheels.

An old maid or lots of petrol and a match, or even both. Hope this works in the UK. You may have laws against setting fire to the hired help, so check up first with your local council.

Apart from soap and water - I have heard diluted coke is good for clearing dirty etc, but then you need to rewash it to get rid of the stickiness
