Using parchment paper, something bakers use, in place of cloth to keep the iron from contacting the surface of the tile, will provide just as much protection for the iron while allowing more heat transfer. It worked well for me and I used the iron at the full heat setting.

I'm in the process of removing three layers of peel 'n stick tiles. A nightmare, but I used what I had on hand which was a hairdryer. I set it on "hot" to soften the glue. It works very well and is much faster than an iron. I was able to lift all three layers at once. A heat gun would be best, however. Don't even try to get it up without heating it.

@@aboren8096 Once you pry up a corner, just keep the heat aimed directly between the tile and the floor as you push the putty knife (a wide one works best) further under the tile. Unless you're lucky, there will probably be thick, sticky glue left on the floor. There are ways to remove it but it was too hard for me so I just left it until it dried. There was no problem getting porcelain tiles installed on top without glue removal. Good luck!

Just tryed using the iron trick to remove peel and stick tiles in my bathroom and it did the job really fast. Thank you. Will be using this trick for removing old peel and stick tiles in my kitchen😊😊😊

So this peel and stick tile is in the kitchen? Wow! This kind of video is what I needed. I’m going to get myself some for my kitchen

So much easier , wish i saw this before removing a few tiles i needed to get up and replace. thanks for sharing ~

Thank you so much! I've been working for hours and was SO OVER IT. This works wonders!

Thank you, Thank you for sharing. I will be trying this on Monday!

Thank you for this, will use your tip to remove the rest of my tiles

WD40 and a scraper will remove the sticky. After you’ll have an oily residue from the WD40, so you’ll sprinkle some flour and rub it in until it absorbs the oil residue.

A blow torch, I've seen, removes tiles faster, but, I do dig, this tip, with the iron; thanks. This Is actually safer. For faster removal, the blow torch, I've seen them come right up, one by one.

Yeah, for the average home owner I'd probably recommend sticking with an iron for safety reasons haha. But I can see how a blow torch would work quicker, I would even use a heat gun before a blow torch and probably get a similar result. Cheers!

What do I need to do in a case where you put modern peel and stick vinyl tiles on normal tiles and you don't want to ruin the normal tiles beneath while removing? (I'm renting and want to put modern PVC tiles on real ones but maybe once I move out the owners asks me to remove them)

Thank you

Did you have it tested for asbestos

How to clean the floor after peeling the whole floor before putting down a new one?

Hello very good video you are giving me hope that I will get rid of them What about the glue underneath though any tips to get the floor clean ? Will it’s all melt with the iron ?

How do you get the glue off cause I’m worried about removing all the tiles and it leaves the floor sticky

Thank you!!!!!

My question is does it leave behind residue if so how do I do away with that without damaging the flooring underneath laminate

Can the sticky tiles damage the floor?

Here's another tip. Empty the clothes drier, use a separate article of clothing for each tile. You have now completed two tasks at once, tile replacement and the laundry ironing, your wife will love you for it.

Usually the size indicates if they are asbestos or not. If they are 9x9 inch square and they were made between 1950 - 1980 they are most likely asbestos.

what about the sticky think on the subfloor? How do you remove those?

@AtHomeDIY

I honestly just let it dry and ware off over a few days. But you could probably use a product like Goo Gone to get it off.

Well that looks much better and easier to lift the linoleum floor tiles . When you heated up with the Iron 👍 that is a safe way to do it . Another guy was showing how to do it and he had propane torch to heater up the tiles and he recommended to have fire extinguisher near by and garden water hose in case you start a fire that is extremely danger specially if the subfloor is plywood not concrete you be inhaling the toxic fumes or 😩 you can have your house bursted in flames then you will wind up without restroom and the house burn to the ground 🥲 ☹️ 😖

Cool!

Sliding a butter knife underneath it is helping me too

I used a heat gun to remove the tiles, but we did the whole kitchen, it was much quicker.

The question nobody has answered for me is what do you do with the sticky floor? I want to put down new tiles but the floor is so sticky and there are dirt lines in the creases. Thanks for the video.

Good question, I think I heated it to like 75%. Hot enough to melt the glue.

why don't you use a heat gun (750F)

This would take all day for a whole room

I have layers upon layers of peel and stick glued to bare slab in my basement. Sellers didn’t disclose foundation damage or their repairs and BB&T won’t let me borrow on a loan I paid off halfway by 7 years and 4 months when I found the undisclosed damage. I can’t afford a sump pump! Not after replacing the HVAC/AC after the first 2 years. I have a heat gun and I seriously doubt ima burn through solid concrete. If so, I’ll paint it smooth. I’m gonna try heat with my scraper, maybe water too. Every 2-3 years, I go in my basement to find my stuff floating in rain water. I sure wish them tiles would float! I didn’t ask for this and I certainly didn’t consent to it. Life, man. Merit and honest sweat be damned, it’ll stick it to ya anyway.

useing a steamer may be faster I would think.

The goal is to warm up the glue under the tile. Go as hot as you'd like, if it doesn't seem to be working, go hotter. I'm sorry, I don't have specific numbers for you.

Steal and pick.

That’s still a long process it has to be another way

I used the girlfriends hair dryer it's a lot quicker than the iron method. 😂
