How do I clean floor wax stains off of my linoleum tiles?

We occasionally wax our floors with a liquid floor wax. The problem is… it leaves grayish stains on our black and white linoleum tiles! How can I get this off? Will a steamer work?

If so, what brand/model steamer do you recommend?

    you can get floor stripper from ace hardware. it smells better than ammonia and works a lot better. also before you put any wax on the floor. make 100% sure that it is clean as dirt mixed with wax will leave grayish stains. i stripped and waxed floors for ten years with a cleaning company.

    Go to Home Depot and buy some crud cutter and try this stuff. It is by all the cleaning products. 1st I would try it in an area that you can’t see all the time. This stuff cuts almost everything and it works good on really hard clothes stains also.

    Using a cup of ammonia in your mop water will strip old wax from tile floors. The smell isn’t nice, so make sure to open a window.
