Ammonia in hot water used to be a good solution to remove wax from floors without damaging the floors. The Pledge site states, "To remove build-up on floors, mix 1 cup of ammonia and ¼ cup of Armstrong® Floor Cleaner with ½ gallon of cool water. Spread over a 3' x 3' area. Let stand 5 minutes, scrub and rinse with plain water. Repeat until build-up is removed and entire floor is clean."
First break up any pieces that you can remove with a screwdriver leaving just what is actually stuck to the carpet. Next use several paper towels folded and a medium hot iron and place towels over wax and place iron on top of the towels for a few minutes, you will notice the wax melting and being absorbed into the towels. Keep repeating this process until no more wax can be absorbed into the towels. Remember faster is not better, adding more heat will melt the carpet fibers as well as the wax so be patient.

If it is really wax the best way is with a commercial wax stripper. Stores like Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowes should sell it. A word of caution, most floors today are "no wax". They can get a build up that can look like old wax. You don't want to use a wax stripper on that type of floor. Armstrong makes a product called "New Beginnings which is a stripper for no wax floors.
The wax seales & protects the floors & makes the balls do less damage as they hit the wood.
