Yes it is hard and very dusty. I've had to do this a number of times and found the most effective way is to rent a large, heavy floor sander. Use 36 grit paper and sand away the junk -It gets very dusty, so have a good mask, goggles and hair covering. - oh BTW - it's pretty back-breaking too !

If your floor is hard, then you spray vinegar on it and let it sit for a minute. After that, you wipe up the vinegar and try to scrape off the adhesive.

Hard Cleaning Ceramic Tile?

If your ceramic tile looks a little too dingy for your taste, it may be time to give it a hard clean. Hard cleaning is something that should be done in careful moderation and not overdone. Some of the chemicals and tools used can actually ruin your ceramic tile flooring if used too often. To give your ceramic tile a hard clean, use tools like a floor scrubbing brush, a little bit of bleach, all purpose cleaner, mild detergent and more. Once you are finished scrubbing the floor using your solution, rinse it with warm water and wipe up any residue or film with a dry cloth or towel.
