                                             Types Of Strip and Wax Services We Offer

Full Strip and Wax: A full strip and wax comprises of applying a chemical stripping agent and then agitating the floor with a buffer to loosen wax. Edges, tight areas, and around immoveable objects are hand scrubbed. Old wax is then scraped and suctioned from the floor surface. A neutralizing rinse is then applied mutiple times to prepare the floor surface for waxing. Once dried, mutiple coats of wax will be applied at various intervals; each coat requiring a dry time before application of the next.

Waxing Newly Installed Flooring: Vinyl composite tile (VCT) flooring fresh from the manufacturer will often require waxing. Although a full stripping will not be required, a safe procedure is to do a very light strip process to prepare the surface for wax, and remove any excess glue flooring installers have left behind.

Scrub and Recoat: Top scrub and recoat is a maintenance procedure done between full strip and wax visits. The top layer of wax is removed, and a fresh coat is applied.
