Removing floor tiles requires caution and a bit of elbow grease. It is a labor-intensive process that is best done with the help of a friend. To get started, here are the steps to remove floor tiles from your home:
1. Start by removing the grout from between the tiles. Use a grout saw and chisel to carefully remove the grout, being careful not to chip the tiles. Once the grout is removed, set it aside for disposal.
2. Using a hammer and chisel, begin to break the tile into smaller pieces. Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the surrounding tiles and floor. Put on safety goggles and a dust mask to protect yourself from the tile dust.
3. Once the tiles have been broken into pieces, use a hand-held vacuum to remove the debris. You may need to use a putty knife or stiff brush to remove any stubborn pieces.
4. Using a utility knife, cut around the perimeter of the tile to remove any adhesive residue. You may need to use a scraper to get it off.
5. To finish up, mop the area to remove any remaining dust and debris. Once the area is clean, you are ready to install new floor tiles.
