How do you get wax off linoleum?

place a rag or a towel over the waxed area and set an iron on the rag for about 20 seconds-- this will heat the wax enough for you to wipe it up.

Answer

If you are trying to remove old wax from the floor, you would use ammonia in a bucket of water. This is what we used back in the day. There may also be commercial removers that you can buy from a hardware store.
