A good little trick is to use a brown paper grocery bag and a hand towel and a clothes iron (set to low heat.) Place the bag over the wax, place the towel over the bag and iron the towel, check the wax several times as you only want to heat the wax to a melting point where the brown paper will absorb the wax. NOTE:Assure the iron is set to low, prolonged high heat will loosen the linoleum or discolor it. Work fast and use the least heat possible.
Vinyl is the only "no wax" floor I am aware of and removing the wax should not damage the vinyl finish. You can get removal products at most flooring stores that are specifically designed for this purpose. I took the "no wax" wax off my "no wax" floor and it looked better than ever.
not candle wax but the wax that you can put wax warmer it was spilled
Tear up floor. Install new floor......
If its floor wax, Wax stripper available in any home center, most grocery stores... If you are talking about candle wax that is different
To remove candle wax from a hardwood floor use an ice cube to harden the wax and then gently scrap off the wax with a putty knife. To remove the wax finish on a hardwood floor use mineral spirits on the floor. Use a cloth and apply the mineral spirits in a circular motion until all the wax has been removed.
Yes. If the paint is sticking well to the original floor and the adhesive for the new flooring sticks to the paint, you are good to go.
You can remove all, or a majority of it, by placing an ice cube on the wax, then chipping it off the wax as it hardens from the ice.
If its tile. Use a heat gun. Or hair dryer. Warm it up and scrape it off. Then use a wax residue remover for the rest of the wax
Because home made floor wax is higher quality.
There is no reason to wax a tile floor.
Ammonia. That will cut through the grease and clean the window.
That depends on where you are, Here in California, S.F., It cost $4.25 per sq. ft. to refinish a wood floor. And being that it has a wax finish, it can cost more because the floor contractor might have to use extra steps to get that wax finish off. That is my profession, and wax is one floor I hate to refinish. Like I said before, it depends on where you are.
