What is best adhesive remover to remove adhesive which has seeped up from peel and stick vinyl floor tiles?

We are in the process of installing Dynamix peel and stick vinyl floor tiles and there is excess gooey, sticky adhesive seeping up between each tile. Need advice on the best adhesive remover to buy. Don't want to fiddle with alcohol and vaseline. Heading out to the store this afternoon.....any and all advice most appreciated!What is best adhesive remover to remove adhesive which has seeped up from peel and stick vinyl floor tiles?

You might try a product called 'Goo Gone'; I use it around the house for such things. you dab it on ( or pour depending on how much adhesive) and let it set for a few minutes, they wipe off. Love this stuff.
Goo gone is nothing but denatured alcohol..which will only cut latex based glues..if it is oil based glue..then goo gone will make more of a mess for you...Paint thinner will gum up water based glues..and will cut only solvent made glues..You need to ask the manufacturer what based adheisive they used on these tiles..for one to actually give you what product you use for removal...denatured alcohol if it is a latex glue..and wd 40 if it is a solvent based glue..wd 40 will work better than mineral spirits on solvent based..
There is a product called ';Goof-off'; it is in a yellow bottle, Your issue is exactly what this product is made for--good luck
goo be gone
petrol.
LESTOIL! Put some undiluted lestoil in a small spray bottle, spray it on the adhesive. Wet and wring part of a towel in hot tap water, rub it on the lestoil and voila! Your goo is gone and the vinyl isn't harmed in any way. Works wonders.
WD-40
