I Took Up old Adhesive Tiles- What can remove the Glue from the floor?

I removed the tiles, but the floor is sticky as all heck, what would be a good solvent or something that can remove it? I thought perhaps TSP ( Tri-sodium phosphate ) would help, but don't know. Any Suggestions?

    Citrus based mastic remover is the best. No nasty solvent smell, and very effective. Pour it on. Let set for 10-15 min, then scrape. Follow with a sawdust rub (or cellulose insulation, hamster bedding, etc.) to get the fine areas and dry it out.

    TSP will only make it a very clean sticky surface.
