How to Remove VCT Tile Adhesive

    • 1). Prepare your area by removing any unnecessary tools and opening windows for ventilation. Put on safety glasses and rubber gloves and open the container of adhesive remover.

    • 2). Pour the remover over the adhesive, and spread it evenly with a broom or sponge mop. If the adhesive is on a wall, spread the remover with a clean paint brush. Give it half an hour to a few hours--depending on the product--to soften the glue.

    • 3). Gently scrape (using a metal or plastic putty knife) the softened VCT adhesive off of the subflooring or wall and to one side for disposal. If the adhesive was applied to wood, be extra careful not to gouge it--keep the putty knife angled slightly to avoid this.

    • 4). Mop the floor well with water to clean up the adhesive remover. Follow directions on the adhesive remover label--some may require something other than water.
