A chemical stripper is one way. Simply sanding off the wax and stain so you restain and finish is another. Be care with the chemical stripper though, it might soak into the wood and make refinishing a hassle. If all you want to do is refinish the floor without re-staining use the Basic Coatings no sanding method, or find someone who uses that method; everything is done in one day with no dust.

You will have to spend around two dollars a foot to sand them rather than .50 or .75 cents a foot to re-coat the floor. Prices depend on where you live.
