About Floor Stripping and Waxing Services
Floor stripping and waxing, also called stripping and refinishing, removes old layers of wax and dirt from hard floors, restores their original shine and protects them from future damage. Our commercial floor stripping and waxing service includes:
- We handle the removal of any furniture or equipment before cleaning.
- Sweeping and dusting to remove any loose dirt or debris is essential.
- Specialized chemicals are used to remove the old wax from hard floor surfaces such as vinyl and composite tile (VCT).
- The main objective is to remove the old finish and apply a new layer of wax or finish to the surface to restore its original appearance.
- After removing the old wax, we rinse the floor with clean water.
- A neutralizing solution is added to remove the stripping chemical.
- The floors are now ready for waxing and sealing.
- The wax or sealant is applied to the dry floor as many times as needed to ensure the floor has the ideal level of protection and shine.
- The final and most important step is buffing the floor with our high-speed burnishing equipment to enhance its shine and smoothness.
- Our team is capable of performing floor cleaning for facilities ranging from 40,000 to 100,000 square feet.
Benefits of commercial floor stripping and waxing
- The new protective layer of wax will maintain the appearance, durability, and cleanliness of the floor.
- This new layer of protection reduces the possibility of scratches, stains, and wear over time.
- The floor sealant protects the floor and provides a smooth surface that is easier to clean in the future.

How often should commercial floors be stripped and waxed?
Most commercial floors need a full strip and wax once or twice a year, with regular scrub-and-recoat and buffing in between. High-traffic areas like supermarkets and school hallways may need it more often. We'll recommend a schedule after a free walkthrough.
