Why Do You Need to Combine Floor Stripping and Waxing?

Floor stripping and waxing are combined services because they're interdependent processes. When one is done without the other, the results will be subpar, leaving the floors in an unfinished condition.

Here's why you need to combine the two:

• Stripping completely removes old wax, dirt, and debris buildup from the floor surface.
• Stripping allows new wax to fully adhere and provide maximum protection and shine.
• Waxing alone over an old, dirty surface provides very limited benefits.

Combining the processes ensures floors are properly restored to look and perform like new again. Moreover, it helps your floors retain their quality and can be used for years before having to be replaced.

What Floor Preparation Is Required Before Stripping and Waxing?

Proper floor preparation ensures a high-quality finish for stripping and waxing treatment. The process begins with a thorough cleaning to remove all loose dirt, dust, and other debris. Skipping this step would result in an uneven wax application, trapped dirt causing streaks, and a lack of shine.

Next, we address any stubborn stains or marks using appropriate cleaning solutions and techniques to ensure a clean base for the stripping process. We remove all furniture and other obstacles, ensuring any adjacent surfaces are protected.

For an even application of the wax, we typically divide your floor into workable sections. We also establish proper ventilation and all necessary safety measures, including gloves and non-slip footwear, which are worn during the preparation process.

Does Floor Type Affect the Stripping and Waxing Process?

Each floor type has unique characteristics that influence its compatibility with waxing, the methods we use for stripping, and the overall maintenance required.

Some floors, like vinyl, might need stripping more often than others, like pre-finished hardwood. Certain types of tile also tend not to require very frequent treatment.

Here are a few examples of how different floors typically work with waxing and stripping:

• Vinyl composition: Highly receptive to waxing; requires regular stripping and reapplication.
• Hardwood: Requires specialized techniques and products to enhance and protect the wood.
• Ceramic or porcelain tile: Waxing can enhance shine and provide additional protection; grout lines require special attention.
• Linoleum: Often requires gentler stripping methods and specific waxes to maintain its appearance without causing damage.

Using the wrong stripper on a delicate floor like natural stone could lead to etching or dulling. On the other hand, a heavy-duty stripper might be necessary for more resilient floors to effectively remove built-up wax and grime. Modifying our approach accordingly helps us achieve a high-quality finish.

Why Do You Need Regular Floor Refinishing?

Stepping into an office with polished floors creates an impression of cleanliness and professionalism. Contrast that with dull, scratched, or stained floors, which give off the impression of neglect and lack of attention to detail. Your floors aren’t just a surface to walk on; they set the tone for your space.

Regular floor refinishing preserves this professional appearance, but it also contributes to safety. Over time, your floors can become slick and slippery due to dirt buildup. Stripping away the old layers and applying fresh wax helps restore proper traction.

Here are a few other benefits:

• Extends floor lifespan: By removing dirt that can wear down your floors, stripping prevents scratches, scuffs, and overall wear. Waxing then adds another protective layer.
• Enhanced appearance: Stripping removes dulling residues, and the fresh wax application makes your space look polished and cared for.
• Easier maintenance: A properly waxed floor is easier to clean and maintain. Dirt and debris won’t adhere as readily, reducing the need for frequent deep cleaning.

Why Hire Professionals for Floor Stripping and Waxing

Attempting floor stripping and waxing without experience often leads to costly mistakes that can permanently damage floors.

It's highly recommended to use professional floor stripping and waxing services for several reasons, including:

• Professionals have the proper equipment, chemicals, and expertise to strip and wax floors correctly without causing damage.
• They know how to properly handle chemicals and work safely to avoid hazards.
• Professionals understand the differences between floor types and materials to use the right solutions and techniques.

Floor Stripping and Waxing Cost

The cost of floor stripping and waxing services hinges on a few different factors. Generally, commercial spaces with larger square footage and high-traffic areas tend to have higher costs due to the labor and materials required. Additionally, the type of flooring material also plays a role, with certain surfaces like epoxy or terrazzo being more expensive to strip and wax properly.

While exact pricing is best determined by a professional estimate, many property owners find that investing in regular floor stripping and waxing provides long-term cost savings by extending the life of their floors and maintaining a clean, well-kept appearance.

How Often Should You Strip and Wax a Floor?

The lifespan of floor wax can vary, but typically it lasts around 6 months before it starts to dull, discolor, or wear away, especially in high-traffic areas. Regular cleaning and buffing can help extend the life of the wax, but eventually, it will need to be completely stripped off and reapplied for the floor to regain its shine and protection.
