The old grout along the edges can be removed by running a utility knife along the edge of the tile in a shaving motion. Or you can use a pair of tile nippers or needle nose pliers to snap the grout off. Keep the pliers off of the tile so the edges dont chip.
As far as the back of the tile goes, sometimes you can soak the tiles in a bucket of water overnight. Add some sulfamic acid crystals to the water if it is a cement based adhesive on the tile. The next day use a putty knife to get the crud off. If it does not want to budge a grinder should be used. |
