If some wax remains, repeat the freezing process until all the wax is effectively removed. Finish by wiping the area with a clean cloth, and you’ll be left with a beautifully restored floor.

When it comes to wax removal from vinyl and tile floors, avoid using aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive materials like steel wool. Luckily, most vinyl flooring is durable, making the process straightforward. You can use a similar technique as you would for wood floors, but for a gentle approach, blot the wax spill using isopropyl alcohol or another non-abrasive cleaning agent. If you catch the spill early, simply wipe it up with a paper towel or absorbent material. Be cautious not to spread the stain by wiping it, as this may leave behind a waxy residue on the floors.
