Floor tile adhesives (mastic) can be removed with chemical paint strippers or citric acid solvents (delemonene), which do not emit VOC fumes but are effective only on modern water-based adhesives.

Removing grout that is adhered to a tile floor can be difficult. The type of tile greatly affects the difficulty of grout removal; also, if the grout was polymer modified, it may be more difficult to remove.

To remove the grout, start with an alkaline cleaner and a nylon scrub pad.
