Remove wax from your linoleum or vinyl flooring using vinegar and a scrub brush with just a cup of cream of tartar added to your water.

For regular cleaning and to keep your wax build up to a minimum, use one cup of vinegar, one cup of amonia and a gallon of water. Mopping your floor with this mixture will keep the wax build up to a minimum. This mixture also works to keep wax off of tile floors.
