Tulsa Commercial Floor Scrubbing, Stripping & Waxing
What is the difference between commercial floor scrubbing & floor stripping?
How often should you strip your floors?
Regular floor stripping and waxing should be a part of every commercial business’ routine maintenance plan, but how do you know when it is a good time to do this and what interval is correct? The answer to the second part of this question primarily depends on the type of business you operate and the corresponding amount of foot traffic it receives on a daily basis.
In general, for heavy-traffic commercial spaces, such as restaurants, retail stores, etc., floors should be stripped and waxed at least once annually or every six to twelve months. This will help to ensure that your floors stay looking their best!
Can you wax a floor without stripping it?
Technically, you do not have to strip the floor before you wax it. However, if there are too many coats of old wax on your floors, and they are causing the floors to become dull, then it’s best to completely strip the floor before applying a new coat of wax. This is what we did for American Legion Post 131.
Commercial Floor Care
Keeping your floors in their best condition requires several maintenance actions to be performed regularly. If you leave your floors unchecked, they can lose their original shiny appearance, and your flooring tiles can slowly get worn down. It can become challenging to maintain floor tiles if they get worn off or if they become porous. Because of this, we’d like to share a few basic things you should know about getting your commercial floors waxed and raise the productivity of your business and other professional activities.
Apply a Sealer
After stripping your floor of all the old coatings of finish and waxes, the next step is to apply sealers. Sealers work as insulation for your floor tiles, and you must apply two coats of a high-quality sealer so that there are no leaks of wax even if your tiles are old and have become porous.
Apply Wax
After applying the required number of coats of sealer, you must now apply the wax coat on your floor. There are different types of floor waxes available on the market, and you must choose the wax that best suits your floor tiles. Ideally, you should apply at least 4 to 5 wax coatings to get the best results and to make sure your floor wax lasts for a long time.
Apply Finish
After you’re done with applying the floor wax, you should apply the finish layers on top of the waxed floor. The finish helps to protect the wax that you have applied and reduces the scratches and accumulation of dirt over time.
Buff Your Floor
The final step would be to buff your commercial floors. Floor buffing removes any dust particles from the floor, and it brings out the shine of your floor. Floor buffing, when done regularly, increases the life of the finish and the wax on the floors. Therefore, it would be best to get your commercial floors buffed on a monthly, if not weekly basis, to retain the perfected floor appearance for a long time.
