Commercial floor waxing services in Cleveland Ohio
Floor stripping and waxing services
A floor stripping and waxing service involves the removal of all floor finish, also known as wax, that is on top of the Vinyl or linoleum title flooring. This commercial cleaning service is generally done when the tile has experienced high amounts of foot traffic over a long period of time. Signs of a commercial floor surface that may be in need of a complete strip and refinish job include excess amounts of stains, scratches and dirt that have made their way inside or on top of the wax. Once all of the old wax has been professionally removed from the tile, about 5 coats of the new floor wax are applied to the tile to give the tile a beautiful clean and bright shine. For best overall results and floor finish longevity, this service should be done about every 1 or 2 years.
Floor scrub and re-coat services
A floor scrub and re-coat service is a slightly simpler, not to mention budget friendlier, option to solving a company’s vinyl or linoleum floor issues. This commercial cleaning service involves our floor care technicians removing only 1-3 coats of finish from the commercial tile and then reapplying an equal amount of new wax. The most noticeable signs that your company’s tile floor can be serviced with a scrub and recoat instead of a complete strip and wax service are minimal scratches and dirt, or a slight wax dullness and loss of shine. At Onyx Commercial Cleaning, we recommend companies to do a floor scrubbing and re-coating service every 6-12 months to prevent having to do a complete stripping and waxing service.
Post waxing maintenance
Upon the successful completion of a floor stripping and waxing or scrubbing and recoating service, it’s very important to have the proper maintenance program in place for your janitorial services in order to keep the floor looking great for a long time. At Onyx, we recommend frequent mopping of the tile with a neutral cleaner, along with the addition of rubber caps to chair and table legs. This will help remove floor dirt and debris before it has a chance to penetrate into the floor finish, while also minimizing the amount of scratches in the finish. Overall, the next best thing to do is to keep an eye on the shape of your floor and call Onyx Commercial Cleaning when it’s time to have it serviced again.
