*thick cement and bitumen*

Asked by Jane & Isabel from York:	We have chipped and scraped a lot of cement and bitumen off our quarry tiled kitchen floor, but there are still areas where we cannot get it off. We have tried a cement remover, which gets the thin layers off but how would you suggest getting the thick 2-3mm off that won't chip or scrape?

TileProf says:	Hi Jane, Not an easy one, I would maybe try some of our Remove and Go mixed 50/50 with Nano-tech ultra clean, apply and leave it for a couple of hours, so it can have neough time to break down the Bitumne, then rinse and scrub the Tiles with a deck brush or a roitary machine and whatever is left I would vac up using a wet vac. If there is still some remanat Bitumen left over I would then use a Wall paper steamer left in place for a minute each time until it lifts the old bitumne to the surfcae ehich can then be scrubbed and vaxed off.
