If you are using wax to decoratem then brushes are needed. NASCO sells
adequate brushes cheaply, and you might consider ordering a bunch, signing
them out to the students and making them pay for replacements if they ruin
the assigned brush. As I was last in public school 55 years ago, I have no
idea whether "if you ruin, you pay" policies are allowed today.
Strong floor type cleaners (meant, after all, to dewax floors) often do ok
on brushes. I would not use on a GOOD brush, but a wax brush? Ask the
janitor for some samples...test.
IF YOU ARE USING THE WAX ON FEET: Try Snail's idea, or: get some spring
clothespins. Get a couple of the harder sponges sold in the grocery for
dishwashing etc. Cut the sponges into pieces about 1" x 2"x 1/4" Clamp the
cut piece(s) with the 2"length in the spring of the clothepin. You can
trim the free end into a point or whatever. Now use that unit as a "brush"
to apply cold wax to feet. If the piece of sponge does not get cleaned
properly (easier to clean than brush bristles, anyway) throw it out....

FURTHERMORE: Some years ago some people suggested diverse floor waxes of the
liquid kind, as well as some of the liquid fabric softeners as substitutes
for liquid wax. As I recall I tried the liquid fabric softener and it did
ok, except that I simply could not deal with the "perfume" .
