Maintain your floors with regular stripping and waxing.

Floor stripping and waxing is a two-step process used to maintain and enhance the appearance of hard floors, particularly in commercial spaces. This service helps remove dirt, grime, and old layers of wax while restoring the floor’s shine and protective coating.

Floor Stripping and Waxing

Floor stripping is the first step, and it involves removing the old wax or finish that has accumulated on the floor over time. We use a chemical floor stripper and a floor machine to break down and lift the wax, dirt, and other residues. This process reveals the bare floor surface, which may show signs of wear or damage that need to be addressed before applying new wax.

After stripping the floor, we thoroughly clean it before applying a new layer of wax. We spread the wax evenly across the surface to protect the floor and enhance its appearance. The wax creates a glossy finish that adds shine and provides a protective barrier against scratches, scuffs, and stains. We often apply multiple coats of wax to achieve the desired level of shine and protection, with each layer needing time to dry before adding the next one.
