How do I remove chewing gum, crayon and candle wax on my hardwood floor?
Polyurethaned Hardwood Floors & Sealed & Waxed Hardwood Floors Try scraping the residue off with a sharpened blade, taking care not to scratch the surface. Another option is to apply ice until the substance becomes brittle enough to break off. If you use ice, make sure you remove any spots of water immediately. A third option is to apply cleaning fluid on the surface of the floor surrounding the spot. It will seep under the substance and loosen it.
