Floor Preparation

I have just lifted the ceramic tiles in my kitchen. I have been left with lots of dried floor adhesive. Does anyone have any advice on the easiest way to remove this ?

Any tips and advice would be appreciated. Does anyone know what a textured surface remover does and if it would be a suitable option ?

What is involved? Can you hire a scraper ? I have been "scraping by on my hands & knees and it has taken 3 hours to to a 2 Sq metre area.

and..............my hands are very sore

Check a hire-centre, most of them now hire out scrapers.
But where I was after was more info on what type of adhesive, how thick etc

you can remoce adhesive from flooring by soaking it with plain vinegar for about 20 minutes then use a good scraper and it will lift right off after the remaining stuff can be mopped up with a wet mop the flooring will look as good as new ;thank you
