Hi

I've moved into a new house and in the main bathroom, the white tiles have a picture stuck on to them to create a patterned effect. I think it will peel off but am unable to even pick at it with my nails. Does anyone have experience with how to get it off?

Are the pictures tile stencils? If so try nail varnish remover.

i have removed sign writing from my husbands van by using the hairdryer and it worked a treat then cleaned off any bits with a little white spirit on a cloth. this might work ?
 
melts the glue then might peel. it may work, it may not - try and see what happens ! e.g. i have recently renovated a property that had those polysterene tiles on the ceilings. tiles came off ok but a blob of hard glue was left all over the ceilings - removed this easily with a hot air gun (like the one u use for paint stripping. this would be too hot for tiles as it might crack them so try the hairdrier. let me know what happens ?

Hiya,

the name of the stuff is Amber Klene - have no idea where they buy it from though...strong smelling stuff so get a mask for the duration of using it!
