 I have a school hall to clean on monday and it`s covered
in blue tac.The tiles are smooth huega type.I normally use
rid a gum and a steamer but i`ve found that BT is
impervious to heat unlike chewing gum.Any quik tips
would be greatly appreciated.

Most solvent based spotters will remove it easily.I use Eco spotter from Solution Uk with a stiff brush, sometimes use a soft wire brush dependant on surface type.

I find that breaking it up and a dose of OJ works for me.

Solvall spotter from Prochem is good but check if tiles are bitumen backed first. If they are then use Citrus gel also from Prochem.

Hi guys,
The job was a disaster.Tiles were indeed bitumen backed,but the real problem was the line
of cream coloured  tles around the edge.They had been D.I.Ying
with all sorts of cleaners and as you`ve all heard
before,"WE WERE REALLY HOPING THESE WOULD
COME UP LIKE NEW.THAT`S WHY WE CALLED YOU".I heard from the caretaker that other cc`s
had turned the job down,i gave it 2 hrs jut to see
and gave up.As far as water temperature,a blow
torch was the only answer.

many thanks
