How to Remove Adhesive From Marble Floor Tiles
Marble floor tiles are a beautiful addition to any home, but one that requires specific care, especially when it comes to cleaning and stain removal. Spills, dirty shoes and flooring installation are just a few ways that adhesive can wind up on your marble floor tiles. Your floor is not ruined, however. Remove adhesive from marble floor tiles with a common household product.

Pour 1/4 cup dish washing liquid into a quart-size spray bottle. Fill the remainder of the bottle with cool water. Shake the bottle to mix the contents.
