You can remove floor wax with a floor stripper. You can find this at Home Depot. Depending on the number of coats, your floor may require NUMEROUS applications- because, like dish soap binds grease, stripper binds wax. If there is more grease in the dishwater, you'll need more soap. And so it is with stripper and wax. Mix with water according to directions. BE CAREFUL! The flooor will be very slick! You will then need to take the dirty water up after every application with a shop vac (is best) or a mop. Be generous with each application. Puddling is recommended, letting it dwell for 5 mins or as per directions, but not allowed to dry. You may use a deck brush if it will not damage the underlying vinyl. You will, afterward, need to seal your vinyl as this process will damage any "no wax" properties it may have. If it is a commercial vinyl floor, it will also need to be sealed or waxed again. Hope this helps.

How do you strip and seal vinyl floors?

I have old (20 plus probably) Kentile flooring in my home that I would like to wax. They are very dull and only stay shiny for a short period of time when I wax them with just a generic floor wax such as Johnsons or Armstrong. Does anyone know the proper procedure for cleaning, sealing, waxing this type of floor? Vinyl flooring is the easiest flooring to maintain. It cleans up easily with a myriad of products. I prefer "Armstrong" vinyl floor cleaner. It is available at most supermarkets. Follow the instructions on the label. For deeper cleaning- particularly on textured vinyl- get on your hands and knees and use a scrub brush. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
