Question Floor preparation

Hi, we are trying to prepare our kitchen floor to tile it. At the moment there is a "peel & stick" floor on it. We have tried to lift it, but is really stuck to the floor. What do you recommend? Can we tile the floor over the "stickers" or is there an easy way of removing these?
Any advice would be very welcomed.

They have to be removed, see if there is a 1/4" underlayment under them, if so, it has to come up as well, so take it all up together.

Otherwise use a heat gun and scraper, slow process, but it will come up this way.

Thanks very much for your advice. We have ended up removing the underlaying, much much easier... Cheers!
