Well turpentine, and a big sander. Unfortunately the glue sticks to the surface of the wood and must be sanded off. peel , and or pull the stuff that does come off. HEAT may be applied to loosed the adhesive but yes can cause a fire, that stuff is FLAMMABLE!
Get off as much as you can , and sand sand sand. At some point you will have sanded off all of the chunks of tile and glue that remained. Then it would have to be fine sanded, treated, stain if you wish and sealed. It is a BIG job, something that you wouldnt finish your self in one weekend. It will go in steps depending on how much of time you have to devote to doing this.
A technique to combat the consequences of moisture on your floor is to select a built wood floor. The layers of plywood under the veneer are laid cross-ways, reducing the wood's capability to expand and contract along the grains when there's a change in moisture levels.
The key aspects to be considered while installing hardwood surfaces are the general colour tone, the wood floor type, where is the floor going to be installed, what the floor will be put on and the like. Laminate can be installed over almost any surface, but wood can't be installed over some surfaces. Today's laminate flooring are made employing a photographic picture of wood, marble, or tile that's bonded to fiberboard, backed with melamine plastic and lined with aluminium oxide.
