Default How do you remove Mastic

The previous owner glued a rug to the tile floor (1 inch square tiles) of
the bathroom. The glue is brown and looks like Mastic. I want to rip up
the rug and remove the mastic residue. However whatever method I use, I do
not want to damage the tiles. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Robert
