Use moderate strength as you pry up the tile. Be very careful as you lift the tile with the pry bar remember, the goal is to lift the tile as a whole piece and avoid breaking it. With the seam broken, you can easily insert a pry bar to lift the tile. Simply place the scrapper’s blade along the seam of the tile, and strike the floor scraper with a hammer to break the seam.
Start at the corner of the heated tile and use a hammer and the floor scraper to cut into the tile’s seam. Now that you have applied some heat, the tile should be easier to remove. As such, it is advisable to position the dryer at least one inch away from the tile to diffuse the heat.

Pro Tip: Holding the dryer closer warms the tile faster, overheating the dryer as the hot air circles back into the motor. Move the hairdryer around for about 60 seconds to heat the tile adequately. Put your hairdryer on the highest setting and hold it an inch away from the tile. But, you must be extra-careful as these can easily burn the tiles, destroy a plywood subfloor, or create a fire hazard.
It is possible to use alternative heat sources such as a heat gun or an iron box. I have found a hairdryer to be the safest way to heat self-adhesive vinyl tiles.
To do this, you will need to apply some heat to melt the glue holding the tile to the subfloor. The most efficient way to remove self-adhesive tiles is to lift each tile as a whole and separate it from the subfloor. The first time I tried to remove my tiles, I went at it with only a floor scraper and hammer, but this method only helped break up each vinyl tile bit by bit and was time-consuming. The secret to easily removing peel and stick tiles is to apply some heat to the tiles to weaken the adhesive. Follow these steps to get rid of stubborn peel and stick tiles and remove the glue on the floor.
