Removing tile mortar can be a tricky task. It’s important to take the time to do it correctly so that you don’t damage the surface of the tile or the wall. This step-by-step guide will help you remove tile mortar safely and effectively.
The first step is to prepare the area. Remove any loose grout or mortar by gently chipping it away with a putty knife. If the area is damp, use a wet/dry vacuum to suction up the debris. If the area is dry, use a brush to sweep away the dust and dirt.
When the area is clear of debris, the next step is to apply a chemical adhesive remover. Choose a product that is designed to break down the bond between the mortar and tile, and follow the instructions on the package. Apply the chemical remover with a brush or a spray bottle, and let it sit for the amount of time recommended on the package.
Once the adhesive remover has had time to work, you can start to scrape off the mortar. Use a putty knife or a trowel to gently scrape away the softened mortar. Be sure to use a light touch, as too much pressure could cause damage to the tile or the wall.
Once the majority of the mortar has been removed, you can use a wire brush to clean up the area. This will help to ensure that all of the remaining mortar is removed, and it will also help to give the area a nice, even finish. Once you’ve finished, you’ll have a fresh surface that’s ready to be retiled.
