    Floor Tiling over 22mil TG4 Peel Clean Caberdec Chip Board

    I need to tile 2nd floor bathrooms in new builds. The existing floor is vinyl over the subfloor of 22 mil TG4 Caberdec Chip Board. Can I rip up the vinyl and tile directly over the chip board, or should I lay down hardibacker or other material first. If yes, what thickness would you recommend.

    Where do you clean your tools and buckets?

    Good morning, I clean them in the bathroom. Even taking as much adhesive as I can there's still a good bit left for an every day thing. Could this block the bath? Where do you clean yours?
