Are you speaking strictly of Adhesive? Perhaps on the face? OR Tile Mortar still attached to the back of the tile?
Adhesive would be removable with products like "GOOF OFF" or other such designed for the purpose.
Mortar removal cannot be accomplished by any means so far offered.

Try using Avon's Skin so soft...
I used it to remove adhesive tape which was on an Item I had purchased. It's oil breaks down the stickiness, and you can just roll it off.
