Solid Hardwood, Engineered and Laminate Flooring - Cleaning a hardwood floor [stripping wax]

I have hardwood floors in several rooms in my home.
I'm seeking information on how to remove the buildup of wax on these floors. I have used Old English & Bona floor cleaner without much success.
I think what I need to do is use some type of floor stripper to be certain to remove all the old wax. Actually the hardwood is only 4 years old.
Any advice of what to use and how will be appreciated.
Thanks!

There is an old stand by way to clean hardwood floors and it is simple.You use what is referred to by several names but is actually mineral spirits.It may also be known by or sold as Varsol or Vondoline.Paint Thinner is also a version of mineral spirits but can have impurities.Do not get this confused with paint remover or any other terminology other than paint thinner.This product is used basically like any other cleaner would be used with rags or,if the floors are heavily built up with wax,0000 steel wool.If the floors have any type of finish such as polyurethane etc do not use steel wool as it will scratch the finish.This procedure will remove wax,dirt and so forth without having any other effect on the floors.It will not remove floor finishes etc.This is a tried and true way to clean wood floors going back many many years and I as well as many people I know have done it this way.Once the floors are cleaned you can then apply wax or whatever choices you have regarding the look you want.Let the floors dry properly before applying wax.There are also products on the market such as Minwax Wood Floor Cleaner that will also do this job.There is nothing wrong with these products,they are used simularly and work fine.Two things to consider are 1) they cost more and 2) the active ingrediant is mineral spirits although these products sometimes include additional cleaning agents and other items.

Since no one has responded yet, I think you might be wording this wrong. Are you talking about the polyurethane clear coat on top of the wood? If so, this can't be cleaned off, what you need to do is have the floor sanded and refinished.

If you are confident you'll be able to do this yourself, floor sanders can be rented at your local tool rental shop. This makes a mess, you need to seal the room off from the rest of the house and cover up everything else in the room (if not removed).

Thank you Spdavid for your response.
I'll try what you have suggested.
Appreciate it.

if your floors are only 4 years old, they most likely had a polyurethane finish on them, and should never have been waxed in the first place. poly finished floors are meant to be low maintenance and only need to be damp mopped.

Mineral spirits and other solvents tend to be highly flammable, volatile, and smelly. Proceed with caution.
