If your vinyl tile flooring has taken a beating, now's a good time to fix it up. If you find a tile that needs replacing, here's a tip to save your wrists any unwanted stress: Blast a hair dryer at full force onto the ragged edge of the tile that's chipped. Once it heats up, press a large wood chisel into that edge to lift away the tile, then use the chisel or a putty knife to remove any remaining adhesive. Of course, before you rip up the old piece, make sure you have a suitable replacement.
