Frequently Asked Questions

How often do VCT and LVT floors need stripping and waxing?

Most commercial VCT floors need annual stripping and waxing, while high-traffic areas may require bi-annual service. LVT floors typically need less frequent waxing but benefit from annual assessment. We evaluate your specific traffic patterns and current floor condition to recommend optimal frequency.

How long does the floor stripping and waxing process take?

The complete process typically takes 6-12 hours, depending on floor size and condition. Stripping and cleaning occur first, followed by drying time, then multiple wax coats with drying between applications. We usually complete work overnight or during weekends to minimize business disruption.

Can floors be used immediately after waxing?

Can floors be used immediately after waxing?

Will floor stripping and waxing eliminate all scratches and scuff marks?

Professional stripping removes surface scratches, scuff marks, and most stains that haven't penetrated the tile itself. Deep gouges or permanent tile damage may still be visible after restoration, but overall appearance will be dramatically improved with fresh wax application.

What's the difference between buffing and full stripping and waxing?

Buffing maintains existing wax by restoring shine and removing light scratches, while stripping completely removes old wax for fresh application. Buffing is maintenance between strip cycles, while stripping and waxing is complete floor restoration that provides maximum protection and appearance improvement.
