My house was built in the 1960s and has beautiful oak floors that were given an oil finish, then waxed. I have been re-waxing them regularly on my hands and knees, but can’t keep that up.

To restore the spot, apply a dab of paste wax, let it harden for about 15 minutes, then buff the area with a clean cloth. If dulling does not occur, the floor is not waxed.
