How to remove rubber rug backing from ceramic tile?

Use a plastic scraper and soak down with goo gone. Let sit then scrape off.

I agree, scraper and goo gone will work. Mr. Clean magic erasers are also pretty amazing! I think they really are magic!! LOL And no harsh chemical smell.

Like Kelli suggests. Soak the rubber with Goo Gone to soften it. Then use a plastic scraper to remove it.

Spray with WD-40. Let it sit and then scrape.

A soft scrub brush or old toothbrush will also work with the Goo Gone. Let it soak in, for the best effect.

Acetone, the kind you get in the Hardware store will dissolve the rubber, then use a plastic scraper from the auto store or a flat edge razor to get any residue.

If you cannot handle the chemical smells, you might try making your own. Take about 1/4 cup baking soda, add enough water to make into a paste and then add 1 tbsp. cooking/olive oil. Rub into area and cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for a while. Then go over it with a blue scrubber sponge. This also works to remove adhesive labels from jars et.al., cleans your oven or stove top and other things.

Be careful with Goo Gone and WD-40 because it will stain the grout.

Go with Goo Gone and the plastic scraper. Looks like it is on the grout too, be careful with the scraper not to go into the grout and dig it out.

To remove rubber rug backing from ceramic tile, you can try the following steps:

1. Scrape off as much of the rubber backing as possible using a sharp knife or razor blade. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the tile.
2. Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cloth and gently rub the area where the rubber backing was. The alcohol can help to loosen and dissolve the adhesive.
3. If the backing is still not coming off, you can try using a commercial adhesive remover according to the instructions on the product. Be sure to use it in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety precautions.
4. Once the backing has been removed, wipe the tile with a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue.
5. If there is any stubborn residue left behind, you can try scrubbing the area with a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap, using a scrub sponge or a nylon scouring pad. Rinse the area thoroughly and allow the tile to dry.

Remember to use caution when removing rubber backing from ceramic tile, as the tile can be easily damaged.

Apply spray lubricant, like the kind you use on squeaky hinges, to a nylon scrubber (do not spray directly onto the tile — it may stain the grout). Scrub until the rubber loosens, then wipe dry with a paper towel.

Hello, try spraying this with wd 40 and using a scrub bush to remove it. Hope this helps.
