Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) is one of the most popular flooring choices for offices, schools, and retail spaces because it’s durable, affordable, and easy to maintain. However, over time, dirt, scuffs, and old wax can make your floors look dull and worn. The best way to restore their shine is with a professional strip and wax floor service — a process that removes buildup and adds a fresh, glossy finish.
Step 1: Prepare the Area
Before starting the commercial cleaning process, remove furniture, mats, and any obstacles from the area. Sweep or vacuum the floor to eliminate dust and debris. Proper prep ensures a smooth, even result and prevents scratches during cleaning.
Step 2: Strip Away the Old Wax
Using a professional floor stripping solution, we remove all layers of old wax, dirt, and buildup. This step takes the floor back to its original clean surface, preparing it for a new protective finish.
Step 3: Rinse and Neutralize the Floor
After stripping, the floor is rinsed and neutralized to remove any chemical residue. This helps the new wax properly adhere to the VCT surface for long-lasting results.
Step 4: Apply Fresh Coats of Wax
We apply multiple thin layers of high-quality floor wax to seal and protect the tiles. Each coat is allowed to dry before the next is applied, ensuring durability and a deep, mirror-like shine.
Step 5: Buff and Polish to Perfection
Once the wax is fully dry, our team buffs the surface to enhance its gloss and durability, leaving your VCT floors looking brand new and professional.
