How Do You Remove Paste Wax From Hardwood Floors?
Paste wax consists of different waxes blended together. It is used to protect hardwood floors and provide a slight sheen. Putting paste wax on hardwoods can protect the floor from scratches and scrapes. It may be necessary to remove paste wax if you want to put a finish on the floor that adds a more protective element, such as protection from water and heat. You can remove paste wax yourself, without the help of a profession, by following several steps. Pour 2 cap fulls of mineral spirits onto a small section of the hardwood flood, no more than 2 square feet. Wipe the mineral oil over the small section of hardwood floor with a clean cloth. Use a circular motion when wiping to spread the mineral oil evenly. Wipe up the paste wax and mineral oil with a clean cloth. Repeat this process until all of the paste wax has been removed from the hardwood floors.
