Strip and Wax Your Floors - 4 Reasons Why



Professionally maintained floors can give your business the pleasing aesthetic that will both impress and intrigue your clients. Make sure that you protect your investment and avoid costly repairs by doing regularly scheduled maintenance work. Without proper floor maintenance, floors will become dull, scratched or even discolored. There is nothing worse than walking into a business that has dull and dirty floors. 

We can help you avoid being “that place!” 

Stripping and waxing is a process that is specifically for VCT, vinyl, linoleum, epoxy and acrylic flooring. It refers to the process of completely removing the preexisting wax coating and reapplying fresh layers of wax that will give your floors the cleanliness and shine you expect. Depending on your facility and level of traffic, we recommend that this process be done bi-annually (every 6 months), with regularly scheduled spray buffing in between to keep the floors looking brand new.

The following are some of the great benefits that come from proper maintenance:

1.       Prevents scratches: Due to traffic and the wearing down of the wax coating, scratches to the flooring can happen very easily without regular upkeep.

2.       Prevents any tile lifting: When the protective coating is worn down it leaves the tiles vulnerable to elements such as water and debris. When water gets in between the cracks of the tiles, the glue can become waterlogged and will no longer adhere. This can cause unwanted lifting of the individual tiles of vinyl, VCT, etc. 

3.       Prevents any staining or discoloration: Without proper protection, constant traffic can cause the color and shine to dull and even become discolored. This is usually due to dirt, debris and the wearing down of the protective coating on the floor.

4.       High Shine: Properly maintaining your floors by regularly stripping, waxing and getting periodic spray buffing treatments creates a shine that is unforgettable! It will also make your mopping efforts more efficient and leave you with an easy-to-clean surface.
