Strip and wax and commercial floor care
Between full strips, a scrub and recoat restores shine for less cost and less downtime. We set a floor care calendar based on how much traffic each area gets.
What is strip and wax floor care?
Strip and wax is a floor care process for vinyl composition tile and other resilient floors. Old finish and buildup are stripped to the tile, then new coats of floor finish are applied and burnished for a protected, glossy surface.

How often should VCT floors be stripped and waxed?
Most commercial VCT floors need a full strip and wax once or twice a year, with scrub and recoat service every few months in high traffic areas.
How long before we can walk on the floor?
Light foot traffic is usually possible a few hours after the final coat. We schedule floor work after hours or on weekends so the finish can cure.
What is the difference between strip and wax and scrub and recoat?
Strip and wax removes all old finish down to the tile. Scrub and recoat removes the top layer and adds fresh coats, which costs less and works well between full strips.
