Answer 1

try WD-40!

Answer 2

Hey Victoria,

I'm am usually with "jit" time and time again. Try her method, but use a hairdryer first (not at the same time - You don't want to start the WD-40 on fire!), Soften the glue and use the WD-40 to keep it from re-adhering to your tile.

They also sell a product called "Goo be Gone", but I would follow the same instructions regarding heating it up first.

Everyone is forgetting that the glue now is HARD. It's like Liquid Nails. On a normal hard surface, you could take this of with a scraper, but on a shiny tile, you will see the scratch marks.

The reason I mention this, is that you will find few firms that will do the work for you. They may do it but they will make you sign a liability form that excuses them due to the scratching of the tiles.

If you call a new home builder in your area, they employ firms that do this work all the time. Ask them what "New Home Prep" company that they use. New home buyers find things wrong all the time and these companies know how to fix most things -- Sadly, alot of the builders that you call will have their own In-House fix-it guys.

Good Luck,

James in San Diego
