How about acetone, I use it to take pvc and green goop off my coins. It dries fast and you need gloves. Or liquid pool chlorine. I used that to turn my tub white again.

I'm afraid that stink is going to permeate through the cracks too, LK. I don't want the house smelling like flammable fluids from under the tiles. I think it may also loosen the glue holding them onto the floor too.
I'm tempted to pull up the center / worst tiles and replace them. I have two boxes downstairs but then I'm afraid the lesser damaged tiles will bring out the yellow in the other tiles. It's a lot of work to do that replacement shit that I just don't want to do.

The product I showed you is specifically formulated to break down the acrylic finishes, and the floor machine is made specifically for VCT tiles and other products of that kind.
Go to wally world and look at their floors, they use acrylic finishes and that zamboni type machine is the buffer machine they use for stripping and burnishing the new finish.
If you don't want to use any of it, replacement is your only option, what's under it? concrete,particle board? or plywood?
if it's concrete or particle board then removal is easier if it's plywood you're screwed.

Plywood and it should come off easy once you get one tile off. We had to use that stuff to make the floor even under the tiles too. Redoing the kitchen was opening Pandora's Box. An easy job turned into gutting completely and laying down all new sub flooring. It was such a hack job we couldn't let it stay that way.

Plywood will delaminate unless you use a lot of heat to re activate the thin spread.
and even then you will have mixed results and major floor prep to take care of before a new floor can go back down.

I think these were those self stick jobs.
