How To Remove Face Wax Off Linoleum Floor

Wondering how to remove face wax off a linoleum floor? Getting face wax off a linoleum floor is a tedious task, but it is not impossible. It is so easy to have accidents when using face wax. It's too bad when it lands on a linoleum floor you have a mess.

Things you'll need:

• Disposable rag
• Ice
• Sharp blade
• Tweezers

1. Act fast. The first thing you need to do to remove face wax off a linoleum floor is to wipe it up quickly. Stop what you are doing and wipe it off the floor with a rag you won't mind throwing away. While the face wax is still a liquid is your bet chance of getting most of it off the linoleum. Wax dries really fast, so save yourself some work in the beginning.
2. Let the face wax dry. Once face wax dries, it gets hard and can be chipped or scraped off a linoleum floor. You want all the remaining face wax to get hard so it is easier to remove.
3. Get an ice cube to dry face wax. Put an ice cube directly on the face wax and hold it there for about a minute. Depending on how thick the face wax is, it will take to harden. When the face wax hardens it will lift off the linoleum floor on its own.
4. Get a sharp blade to scrape the face wax. A straight razor blade or a knife are good suggestions. Remove the ice cube and carefully lift the face wax from the linoleum floor using the edge of the blade. Make sure to do this at a upward angle so you don't cut into the floor. You may have to repeat the ice and scrape method a couple of times to remove all the wax.
5. Use a pair of tweezers for the rest. Linoleum flooring has grooves in it. You will not be able to use a blade for the remaining face wax stuck in the grooves. A pair of tweezers works well to get the rest of the wax. Use the ice cube technique and it should be easy to pick out the remaining face wax.
