Mix 1 cup (240 mL) cream of tartar into 1 gallon (3.785 L) of white vinegar, stirring until the tartar dissolves. Saturate the floor with the solution and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Hand scrub a section of the floor in a circular motion using a nylon scrubbing pad. Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge, then move onto the next section of floor. Repeat this process in any areas that still have wax buildup. Mix 3 parts water to 1 part isopropyl alcohol. Before scrubbing the wax with this solution, put on rubber gloves and open your windows to ventilate the room. Scrub the floor using the water and alcohol solution and a stiff scrubbing brush or nylon scrubbing sponge. Mop your floor with clear, warm water after you've scrubbed it with the cream of tartar and vinegar or the isopropyl alcohol solution. Dry the floor thoroughly with old towels or rags. Once the floor is dry, you can apply fresh wax.

Summary: Scrub with a solution of cream of tartar and vinegar. Try an isopropyl alcohol solution. Rinse and dry the floor.

If you have not bought shoes for a while, consider getting your foot size measured at the store. People's feet tend to change sizes as they age, and you do not want to buy a shoe that is too small or too large. Many flats also come in narrow, normal/medium, and wide widths. If you have very narrow or very wide feet, this is something you might want to consider. Most flat shoes will come in different heights: below the ankle, above the ankle, and boot height. Here are some examples of the different types of flats: Below the ankle flats, such as Converse, moccasins, loafers, pointy-toed flats, and ballet flats, help legs appear longer. Above the ankle flats, such as low boots, military boots, high top Converse, and sandals with ankle straps, tend to make legs look shorter. Flat boots are great for the winter, and can help legs look more slender. Consider getting boots that have a slight dip in the front. These can be flattering on all body types. The more versatile a pair of shoes is, the better. Having fewer shoes that you can build outfits around will also help save space in small closets. Everybody can wear flats, but certain styles paired with certain outfits look more flattering on certain body types than others. If you have a petite body, consider pairing flats with skinny jeans that hit at the ankle. This will help to make you appear taller. Stick to more pointed toes rather than rounded toes. If you have an hourglass shape, wear flats with dresses that finish above the knees. If you have fuller shaped legs, choose flats in a lighter color. This will make what you are wearing the focal point, rather than drawing attention to your legs and feet. Nude-colored shoes also tend to make legs look longer. If you have a tall body, consider pairing flats with a loose top and leggings. If you want to make your legs look longer or leaner, opt for a very slight heel.
Summary: Get the right size shoe. Know that there are different types of flats. Before you buy a pair, think about at least three different outfits you can wear them with. Consider matching your shoe to your body type.
