Angry Removing residue from self adhesive carpet squares

My wife did not like the tile floor in our bathroom due to it being cold in the winter so she had me carpet it with self adhesive carpet squares. We are preparing to put our home on the market and the squares need to go. I pulled one up as a test of things to come and there is a very sticky residue. The only good is the ceramic floor tiles are very large so not a lot of grout lines. Anyone been here? I thought before I grab every solvent I have and try I would ask. It is a large area. Was not ready for a pita like this where we are trying to move. To add to the pain the squares are difficult to pull up. Most (all) of the adhesive is on the floor and the carpet squares are not even sticky. Tried lacquer thinner and it only made it stickier. This is what happens when one thinks they will never move. We have only been here 6 years. Last home we were at 27 years. One can imagine the stuff we had to move.

Edit: I had some Eastwood PRE left from a paint job I did 25 years ago and it worked. Now I need to see if I can still buy the same product.
