How Do You Remove Floor Wax From Porcelain Tiles?
It’s correct that glazed porcelain does not need to be waxed. Removing the wax will likely be more cumbersome than leaving it on there. However, it can be removed and should be. You Will Need: • Acidic tile cleaner (ex: TileGuard) • Non-metallic scrub brush or pad • Water • Floor cleaner • Mop • Towels or soft cloths Steps to Remove the Wax: • Removing the wax will require a cleaner that is strong enough to eat through it without damaging the surface of the tiles. TileGuard is safe to use on porcelain tiles and the acidic cleaner will cut through the wax. • Apply the cleaner to the floor following the manufacturer’s instructions. • Scrub with a non-metallic brush or scrub pad to remove the wax on the surface. • Clean away by mopping with warm water. A floor cleaner approved for tile can also be used to clean away the removed wax. • Mop the floor completely with an approved floor cleaner to clean the newly stripped floor. • Allow to air dry completely.
