How to Reduce Furniture Wax Buildup
- 1). Dust the furniture with a soft cloth during regular cleaning. Do not use wax-based cleaners for regular maintenance, or the furniture will quickly get a build-up of excess wax.
- 2). Apply furniture wax every 6 months, using a light hand. If you see ridges on the wax's surface, you have applied too much. Buff away the excess wax with a soft cloth.
- 3). Clean furniture with too much wax buildup using a cleaner designed for wood furniture. A wax-free cleaner will naturally remove excess wax while you clean. If you have a significant amount of buildup, you can use a specially designed wax remover to get rid of it.
