You can buy this type of thing too if you aren't the McGiver type.  For
instance...from American Mastertech item # CPW04200E

We don't keep it off the floor, but do use a wide-bladed putty knife
attached to a mop handle to scrape the residual wax off the floor. It
woks quite nicely and doesn't remove the actual floor wax like a razor
blade scrapper would.
