I just covered the floor of my small indoor storage room with Armstrong commercial flooring tiles. I used the proper adhesive for the application that I got in the same department at the big box store as the tiles. Unfortunately, I messed up a little and some adhesive got squeezed up through the joints when I was setting the tiles, which I tried to wipe with a wet paper towel but did not succeed entirely.

So now, when I walk, my shoes stick to the tiles. I wonder if there is some cleaning solution that I can use to remove the tacky goo, but that won't leak through the joints and weaken the tiles grip on the floor.

Does the container for the adhesive suggest anything for cleanup? Maybe mineral spirits or acetone? Be careful with those on your tiles though. Maybe "goof off" would work.

  • actually someone else told me mineral spirits and that worked well. i suppose mineral spirits are the way to go for all adhesive cleanup (i wonder if they work with contact cement) – amphibient Oct 15 '13 at 20:56
  • Mineral spirits worked wonderfully. – amphibient Oct 15 '13 at 20:57
