My basement floor was painted with a cheap product. I had to scrape it with a single edge razor blade.
You can try an oil absorbent (oil dry) which is sold at auto supply stores. Pour it on and spread it then wearing old shoes skuff it into the remaining clue. It should combine with the glue and then the floor will have to be hand scraped. It is a big job! However it is non toxic.
Using lacquer thinner WILL remove the glue but it is deadly in a closed environment.

Have you tried distilled vinegar?

We had Armstrong stick on tile on a cement floor for over 20 years. Many of the tiles were loose and some had come off (and we replaced them) one by one. This week, my husband began the tedious process of removing all of the ones the bedroom. It was hours of work and now the entire floor is left with a very sticky coating. Vinegar mixed with a few drops of tea tree oil has had little effect in softening or disolving the glue, he has had to spend hours and hours scraping the floor. Can anyone suggest something non toxic? The plan is to have someone come in to install ceramic tile afterwards. How much prep do we need to do without some $$$ service prep charge by the installers?
