Nope, Kirby had a roller with wax on it for doing linoleum and tile floors. It was paste wax too just on a roller that spun over top of the floor and rubbed it in.
I have an old floor waxer from the 1920's or 1930's that you use paste wax with, but I haven't found out if you can use it on unfinished/unsealed floors or where to find a modern era safe wax paste. | ||

It also depends on what type of tile.
Paste wax can be used on Wood, Linoleum, cork, vinyl, stone, ceramic, terra cotta, terrazzo (if it's sealed), etc. DO NOT USE paste wax on asphalt tile as it will dissolve the tile. If it is asphalt tile use a water based floor polish like mop and glo. You can use a Kirby to polish paste wax with the polisher head. You don't have to use Kirby's Miracle Wax. People use to do that before Kirby came out with Miracle Wax. | ||
