Removing adhesive from tile backs

[chriselevate]

Bathroom was a state but managed to save the porcelain tiles. Are there products or tips to get the grey tile adhesive off the backs of the tiles so they can be reused please?

The tiler (who tiled it before we bought it) has used dabs to stick the tiles and clearly in the correct stuff to get them to stick as it was pretty much the grout holding them up. I guess he should have used something special for porcelain walls tiles and also a full bed of adhesive?

I’ve taken the pb off the other walls but they were the same.

Thanks.

Try soaking them ovenight to loosen the adhesive and scrape it off?.

I was asked to fit antique tile splashback ,[secondhand tiles with cement on them] which I left to soak for two weeks in a bucket of soapy water , then scraped cement off with old wood chisel.
