The problem is not the floor, it's the finish. First try a home remedy. In a corner, out of the walking path, spray a small portion with Scott's Liquid Gold. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and wipe carefully. If it cures the problem, you need to remove the build up of old wax from the floor and start over.
I've found that Bruce's Wood Care products, available at home centers, will properly remove the old build up and restore the finish of the floor. Another method is to sand the floor and refinish the surface, a back breaking job.
