Hi, my husband has given me the awful job of taken off the tile adhesive
from the back of ceramic tiles. He's taken the tiles off the bathroom
wall, and wants to reuse them. He's updating the bathroom so thankfully
it's only about 40 tiles. Any ideas what's the quickest solution to
this dreaded task? I would be grateful for your advise


If it's ordinary tile adhesive rather than a cement based one leave them
soaking in water for a day or so and it will wipe off.

Brick acid will kill the cement based ones. Its the waterproof or epoxy
ones that are a bugger..
