We’re looking at a large coop where the floors of every room but one are covered with 24 X 24″ vinyl tiles. Judging by the untiled room, there are beautiful parquet floors under all that hideous stuff. To save money, we’d like to try to do the work of removing the tile ourselves, before having…
If this were the proper wax, such as Butchers or Bowling Alley wax, it should not have made the white streaks, even over polyurethane. You have a couple options here: I suspect it can be screened off, which should remove most of the wax but not the wax which has settled into scratches or into low spots on the floor which the screen does not contact. This will also take many screens as the wax will clog them. You may be able to use mineral spirits to remove the wax. If I had to use mineral spirits to do this, I would consider using a buffing pad along with the spirits. Of course, we have a large machine which I would put a buffing pad under. You can also use wax stripper, but that may also remove poly (I think; we used to strip gym floors with a stripper; I am not sure what kind and if it was a wax stripper or a stripper made for the poly gym floor finish(my boss handed it to me and told me to use it); it was not like the stripper we use for paint, etc). You will want to test an area. I would consider trying the mineral spirits in a small area. Steve
Removing Floor WaxHave heard great experiences, and terrible (like having to hire another company to fix/finish the job terrible). Depends on the crew you get. I'd look for a company with tighter quality control, or a smaller operation where you'd get the same workers as whomever recommended them to you had do their work.
