I am no wax expert, but I have been thinking of doing it in my house to my (~30 -40 yr) old kitchen linoleum floor. It is a no wax floor, how I understand it, it just means you do not have to wax it, not that you should not wax it. What I also understand is once you wax it, you always need to keep it waxed to keep it looking good. As it wears the wax in the groves remain shinny and the upper surface that you walk on wears and scratches from things like sand and dulls. There are products out there that will strip the wax, but I have only heard of them being used on smooth surfaced floors successfully. I know one of our sales offices at work wants a new ceramic floor in their lobby area as the wax has built up in the grout lines and they do not like the look. Let me tell you, they still have that floor as I would not authorize spending money for some silly reason like that, when it still looked good.
