Netty go to one of the big DIY stores they sell sticky remover we had a bottle of it at one point

[netty]

It does work then Sue?

[Sue (AKA ) milosmum]

well not tried it on tiles? but yes it removes glue etc

[netty]

The tiles come up quite easily Sue,its just the glue thats the problem.Cheers for that mucker,will rush out to get some,in December knowing me,lol

I don't know the name of it either sorry Netty . . . but I also some years ago bought a bottle of some gunk from B&Q, to remove the glue residue left from uplifting some cork tiles on the kitchen floor.

I'm not saying this brand especially, but it's out there . . .

Cheers Mandy,its good to know my feet wont be sticking to the floor forever.I knew i should have left it alone,lol.

Lol Paddy,you wouldnt say that if you saw it. Although im capable of doing it,its the getting it finished thats the problem.At the mo ive got a half painted kitchen and outhouse,1 new blind up,1 dirty old one up.Half a tiled floor and a bathroom thats begging me to strip it.I enjoy DIY and killing the garden but me and housework dont get on.My home isnt dirty but its not tidy and not dust free,hate cooking and doing dishes is a foreign language to me,lol.Dont get me started on washing and ironing,but if you call for a brew my cups/mugs are clean,lol.

We've got a lot in common in some areas then In fact, if I do do any DIY I'm a non-finisher, so there isn't much we differ on (I've got more dirt than you), my cups/mugs being clean too. Strange, innit? The whole place is a midden but what I use must be clean

A clean house = a broken computer.

Netty, before using the sticky remover, it might be best to scrape up as much as the gunge as possible with a wallpaper scraper.

I'm a bit of a clean freak but i never go in OH's office it is a tip & i hate it! He got paid for a job 3 years ago, 1000 quid he put it in the office & we havent found it since thats how bad it is!

Blimey Sue!

I'd turf the whole lot out into the garden, hubby included, rifle through the clag . . . locate the dosh, then leave hubby to do the rest, whilst I scampered off to spend the money.
