How do I remove lino floor tiles easily, without leaving the backing of the tile behind on the floor?
Question asked by: knowitall
Removing lino floor tiles can be a difficult job, and certainly not easy!
The best bet is to use a rotary tool to cut along the grout lines. Once you have done that successfully, you then need to prise out the lino tiles.
To do that, use a pry bar.
Note that you should be careful at all stages of any DIY project, good luck!
