    Wall and Floor Tiling Advice for Kate the Mate

    Just spent an hour or so cleaning off the tiles using a scraper. Thanks for the latest advice, Girlracer, I'll try some warm water in a spray. Some are cleaning of relatively easily, some are stuck like the proverbial. Hopefully when husband comes home he can do the late shift!! I might try...
