    Best solution to remove waxy substance from wood floor?

    Keep the jokes to yourself.

    A while back, I put an Orange-Glo wood polish on our floors. It looked nice; that is, until we threw a party at our house. I have tried cleaning the floors, but there still seems to be a spotty, sticky residue in certain spots (me thinks where I put the Orange-Glo on a bit thick).

    Any suggestions about how to best remove the spottiness, etc?

    Talk about wishful thinking! I will refrain though.

    Try diluted white vinegar (like 1:20) on a small section and see if that helps. That is all I use to mop my floors (more like a 1:50 ratio).

    Be careful trying this, but I use paint thinner or other harsh solvents in the garage to get the excess wax off my surfboards when I clean them up for a fresh waxing. In the house, have lots of ventilation or your

    I have had good luck with the Bona cleaners. I get it at Austin Hardwoods but I think they have it at Bed Bath and Beyond which I am sure you frequent.

    Rontele installed a deep-fryer in his kitchen when he was practicing for the big "career jump" down at the Burger King.

    That "sticky residue" is fry grease.

    Edit - DTM beat me to it.

    Goo Gone (A product I’m certain you’re familiar with) seems to magically remove everything.

    A friend just did this - used some wax cleaner and din't realize she had to remove it before it dried... ended up having to strip and refinish the floor.

    +1 on diluted white vinegar and a good mop. Mrs. Cruiser has a habbit of buying those fucking Libman mops. They suck. Get a real mop, fill the sink with hot water and a cup of white vinegar, then go to town.
