Removing Wax From Laminate Flooring

RE: Removing Wax From Laminate Flooring Post by Cyinda (404) | (02/18/2008) Profile | Contact No, I don't think it's even CLOSE to the same way you'd handle real wood... You'll have to be VERY careful as laminates are basically a just picture of wood on top of a pressed-board type of board... & On the VERY top is a clear sealer... the depth of & quality of this sealer is what gives the laminate it's "grade" & years of guarantee... --> If it were me, I'd start by taking a plastic credit card (like one used for a grocery store, don't use your real one) & using that to scrape off most of the wax... -- Next, with a blow dryer in one hand & a paper towel in the other slowly heat the wax up JUST A BIT with the blowdryer, then blot the wax up w/the paper towel...do this SLOWLY & CAREFULLY! -- If all else fails, you can take a 40 watt light bulb & use it to heat the wax up & blot w/a paper towel... If for some reason you remove a bit of your floors' finish, most laminate floor manufactures make a product to fix this & also to fix scrapes... Some people will just melt a crayon the same color over REAL wood... * If all else fails contact your laminate manufacturer.

Mop up the melted wax as the dryer melts the wax. Just keep going over and over till all the wax is gone! Good luck Report Spam or Abuse
