    As you`ve got most of it up, I would use very dilute washing up liquid in warm water and sponge the area. Blot with a towel and let it dry- should be fine- could be worse- could have been bleach!

    Let us know how you get on.

    If you've removed the worst of the egg, some warm soapy water won't cook the rest, it'll just allow you to wash it off. Can you lift the tile and wash it in the sink :confused:

    I used to put my carpet tiles in the washing machine!!! so long as they went back down straight away so they could dry flat they were fine!
