Hardwood Floor Wax Removal Service
Wax removal service is ideal for homeowners who want to remove wax/acrylic residue and restore their hardwood floors, engineered wood floors, laminate or vinyl floors. When you use store-bought wax, oil, or acrylic-based cleaners, polishes, and rejuvenators, your floor will look darker and unattractive over time. The main problem is that several layers of wax will build, and the dirt caught between these layers will become more noticeable.
​
These products are prone to attracting dirt, grime, and bacteria. The buildup darkens the floors over time, making them more likely to scratch and stain. Here at OneTwoClean, we have the knowledge and efficient solutions to solve this problem! Besides removing the wax, we perform a deep cleaning of the floors. In cases where your wooden floors have been affected by wax residue for years, we recommend screening and recoating them. Due to the accumulation of years' worth of residue on your flooring, we need to remove the layers of wax more aggressively, resulting in dull and cloudy floors.

Hardwood Floor Cleaning and Wax Removal Process
Step 1. Inspection
​
We will perform a thorough inspection to identify the overall condition of the floor and the presence of deep scratches, worn finish, and other concerns.
We will also test if your floor has a wax or acrylic build-up.
​
Step 2. Wax, Acrylic, and Polish Coating Removal
Wax coating residue makes your floor dulled, hazy, sticky, and tends to scratch. If we find the presence of floor polish, wax, or acrylic coating, we need to gently remove it before proceeding to the hardwood cleaning process.
​
Step 3. Deep Cleaning Process
We carefully spray in 70-100 sq. ft. sections our intensive floor treatment. Then we agitate the floor with a floor buffer or scrubber depending on severity. This technique breaks apart dirt, stains, oils, and grime on the topcoat and makes it easier to extract. For floor edges and hard-to-reach areas, we use power hand tools or scrub them by hand.
Next, we remove the agitated dirt, oils, and grime with a floor scrubber or cloth bonnets. It ensures the floor is dried quickly and is ready to be recoated with a premium preservation finish (polish).
​
Step 4. Floor Buffing
​
The fifth step is to buff the hardwood floors to restore the original texture.
Signs That Your Hardwood Floor Needs Professional Care
Sticky or Tacky Feel
When walking barefoot on the floor, if you notice a sticky or tacky sensation underfoot, it could be a sign of wax or embedded dirt. This can occur when the layers of residue become overly thick or haven't been properly cleaned.
Difficulty Cleaning
If cleaning no longer restores the floor's shine or dirt and grime seem to adhere stubbornly to the surface, it may be due to a dirt build-up. This layer can trap dirt and make it challenging to clean effectively.
Floor Dullness
Even with regular sweeping and mopping, if the floor still appears dull and lacks lustre, it may be a sign that there's a buildup of wax or acrylic that needs to be addressed.
Yellowing or Discoloration
Over time, the buildup can cause the hardwood to yellow or develop a dull, discoloured appearance. This is especially noticeable in areas with heavy foot traffic.
Visible Layers
If you notice a cloudy or hazy layer on the surface of the floor, it could indicate a buildup of wax or acrylic. This layer may appear uneven and detract from the natural shine of the wood.
Water Spots or Rings
Spills that leave behind water spots or rings that don't disappear with regular cleaning could indicate that the protective layer on the hardwood floor has been compromised by wax or acrylic buildup.
