How to get candle wax off of linoleum floor.

Remove wax with heat use a hairdryer on medium heat and direct it at the wax drippings stay 12 away. Use the iron on the lowest setting and move it back and forth slowly over the paper towel or bag. I find the heat from a traditional wax spill eats right into the wax of the floor. Isopropyl alcohol regular rubbing alcohol removes candle wax residue from vinyl flooring.

If the candle wax leaves a color stain use a damp cloth and rubbing alcohol. If blotting doesn t work wipe the spot. If there is. If using a hair.

The wax will melt and be absorbed by the paper. These system only heat the candle wax to just above body temperature and they are food based. The heat will help soften the wax so that it can be scraped off the floor. Mix from 1 2 to 2 cups of ammonia to one gallon of warm water.

Have plenty of ventilation and test it first on a small out of the way spot to be sure the ammonia won t damage the floor. If you are using a paper shopping bag turn it inside out so any dyes are on the inside. To avoid scratching the tile angle the card so it does not scrape too forcefully against the surface. Wipe the vinyl again with a damp white cloth afterward using water in place of alcohol.

Scrape the wax off the tile with a plastic card such as an old credit card. You can the use the ironing method but with a paper towel or paper bag instead of a cloth towel. Leave the floor wax removing chemicals on the surface of the floor for as long as the directions on the bottle label indicate. Once it is time to remove the wax removing chemicals do so according to manufacturer s instructions.

Getting dried candle off a linoleum floor is very easy but you have to be careful so that you don t burn or damage the floor in the process. My solution to everybody is to use a scenty system. Pour some rubbing alcohol onto a soft white cloth and then blot the spot with the cloth. If using an iron turn it to the lowest setting and move it gently over the paper bag.

Place a number of paper towels over the remaining wax. Going over an area of about 3 x 3 apply the linoleum floor wax remover to the surface of the floor. Use ice as a candle wax remover using the same method for carpets. Your solution is right on careful not to rub to hard.

Lay a piece of brown paper over the wax.
