When Routine Floor Cleaning Is No Longer Enough

Floor stripping and waxing is the reset service for resilient floors that have lost gloss, built up wear patterns, or reached the point where routine maintenance alone will not restore appearance. If your floors still have usable finish and mainly need maintenance, start with Floor Cleaning.

Why Facilities Choose Strip & Wax Service

  • Full Finish Reset
    Removes worn layers so new finish can perform properly.
  • After-Hours Scheduling
    Minimize disruption for staff, residents, and customers.
  • Professional Gloss Recovery
    Rebuild cleaner-looking floors in high-visibility areas.
  • Insured & Vetted Crews
    COI available on request for managed properties and facilities.

Best Fit for These Facilities

A strong fit for storefronts, showrooms, reception areas, and customer-facing spaces where floor appearance affects the overall impression.

Floor Cleaning vs. Floor Stripping & Waxing

Choose Floor Cleaning

When finish is still present and the main goal is routine scrubbing, neutral cleaning, and burnishing.

Floor Cleaning →

Choose Strip & Wax

When finish is worn down, traffic lanes are obvious, gloss is gone, or past buildup needs to be fully removed.

Best Long-Term Plan

Restore the floor first, then maintain it with a structured floor-cleaning program to extend finish life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should VCT be stripped and waxed?

It depends on traffic, maintenance quality, and finish wear. Many facilities need it periodically once routine cleaning and burnishing are no longer enough to restore appearance.

Do you work nights or weekends?

Yes. Most strip-and-wax projects are scheduled after hours or on weekends to reduce operational disruption.

What’s the difference between scrub and recoat versus full strip and wax?

Scrub and recoat is a lighter refresh for floors that still have a workable finish. Strip and wax removes worn finish layers more completely so the floor can be rebuilt properly.

Do you move furniture or fixtures?

Light, reasonable item movement can be handled as scoped. Heavy equipment or specialty items may require coordination ahead of service.

Can this be paired with regular floor maintenance afterward?

Yes. Many clients restore first, then move into a Floor Cleaning maintenance plan to extend the life of the new finish.
