Debra’s Answer
I’ve removed old vinyl flooring simply by scraping it off. You can usually loosen a tile and go from there by placing a putty knife or a crow bar under the edge. I have then simply placed the new flooring over whatever adhesive remains, after scraping off whatever excessive globs there might be.
As for the adhesive for laying natural linoleum, I would check with the manufacturer or an installer. I haven’t ever laid natural linoleum, so I don’t have any inside information on that process.
