How to fix footprints in freshly waxed floors.

You are going to have to rub with sandpaper the footprints and restain. Spray small area wipe with a good thick grade of paper towel and wipe with a second paper towel and all the marks will be gone it is very hard work but looks great when whole floor is done in this manner. Been there not good first you want to power buff the footprints with a medium pad with just a little water no chemicals until they are no longer visible then wax the spot you worked on once that dries wax the entire floor again. Lightly with fine sand paper rub out the foot prints clean up the dust apply a thin coat of the same finish and remove the tape.

The water opened the grain where you stepped and allowed the stain to penetrate more and become darker. The only way to remove wax from the surface of laminate is through physical labor or stripping. Hot water a heat gun plastic scraper and sponge or scrub pad are your weapons of choice. Then apply the finish restorer with a mop or by spraying it on the floor using a spray bottle.

You need to get down on your knees with a sprayer bottle of vinegar and water. You can also buff the floors dry with an absorbent towel after you are done mopping. Start the procedure by sweeping and vacuuming any loose dust. Just buff the footprint areas with a heavy duty pad until you can t see any defect and then apply new wax and buff lightly.

Wax floors are great because they last forever and you can easily fix any. To remedy this try a different cleaner or use less cleaner. Remember water and a tiny bit of glass cleaner is more than enough to get the floors clean. If using a wax mop spread the wax using an overlapping side to side figure eight pattern.

The latter option is best for waxed. I need some advise on how to economically repair this. Spread an even thin coat over a 5 foot by 7 foot area. Repeat as needed until the entire floor is.
