:( Hi all, nobody could help on my last query, maybe this one. We have removed vinyl floor tiles which has left a very sticky residue, we have tried scraping, steam cleaner, wire wool with a cream abrasive cleaner [ this seems the best to date ] and methylated spirits all have been successful to varying degree's but the tiles are still sticky. Does any body know of a solvent that works,

What were the tiles you removed?

Karndean?
DIY store self adhesive?

What was underneth them?

wood?
concrete?
bitumen? - this is the answer I fear because you may have just removed part of your houses damp protection

more information would help folk answer your question! :wink:
 
And what are you going to put on the floor - tiles, wood, laminate, linoleum?
