Sealant on tiled floor

[Kittykatt]

I've got sealant on my bathroom floor thanks to a plumber putting my bath panel on upside down & as it wouldn't lie straight he decided to seal it to the floor! I've removed most of the sealant but I still have a glue like residue on the flooring! What can I use to get rid of it please?
Oh & I won't have him back as I don't trust him now!

Once you have all the solids off, then use a scouring pad and water with washing up liquid to get any last little traces off. Good luck!

Scouring pad? That sounds like way too much effort!

Use a little WD40 to get the gluey residue off. It's silica based, removes it in seconds.

What tiles are they..?

What tiles are they..?

Now that's a good piont before you do anything

 

[AliGage]

Agreed, valid question.

Thanks everyone, the tiles are ceramic.

 

[Perry]

thats ok then lol

Yep WD40 will remove it fine on ceramic tiles.

And the wd40 will stain the grout .

Some customers want the panel sealed to the floor to stop water/dirt getting trapped.
Best to keep his number handy and remain in a business relationship as you may need his services if there is a leak.
Everyone can make a mistake!

I've tried the wd40 but it still won't come off! I've tried with a Stanley knife and razor blade but it's like a glue, all of the hard sealant is off but what's left on the tiles isnt moving.
Anymore suggestions?

Can't see the image you've posted KittyKat, But sealant residue should be fairly easy to remove. Are you sure it's Silicon? What did the lumps feel like? Hard or elasticy?
