How to remove tile from wall backsplash.

Just wanted to share how i removed small tile from our kitchen. For semi soft adhesive mastic use 120 grit sandpaper to remove it from the wall. Since they are available in a wide variety of colors designs and sizes they fit into any decor. Ceramic wall tiles provide an easy to clean surface for kitchen backsplashes and bathroom walls.

Allow to fully dry. When it s time to remove a tile countertop and replace it you may hope that the demolition of the backsplash leaves the wall intact so you can paint or otherwise decorate the space. The grout that binds the tiles together and to the wall needs to be gently removed. With the removal of the one tile keep going under the surrounding tiles gently popping the tile from the wall by prying it from the wall using the scraper and hammer.

Once the tile is down take a 5 in 1 tool and scrapper to remove any excess grout. Unfortunately if the tile was installed directly on drywall that hope is probably unrealistic. Work the grout scraper in a downward motion and work side to side to gently loosen the tile from its hold against the wall.
