A Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT) is the flooring surface that is most often stripped and waxed
- Waxing, finishing or polishing are preparation coatings that create the finished appearance. Finishes provide additional protection against soil abrasion and scratching. 2-5 coats may be specified by the manufacturer and/or the end user.
- Spray buffing is a maintenance procedure used to remove daily wear and tear and restore luster to the surface.
- Floor stripping and waxing techniques require different machines.
- If the proper procedures, strippers, and finishes are not used, the job may fail, yellow or only look better for a short time.
- Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines
Note:
- Not all hard surfaces should be covered with finishes.
- Many natural stones, cement, grout or tile may require sealers after restorative cleaning.
- Usually associated with hard surface & grout lines, Sealing a floor provides a coating of protection against moisture, contaminants, and stains. It also helps to level the surface, increase adhesion of finishes and improve the appearance of final finishes.

- commercial facilities of all kinds

What is the cost of Stripping & Waxing Floors?
The cost to strip and wax floors can run from 2.00 sq/ft to $3.00 sq/ft. The price is determined by the condition of the floor surface, the surface type, the type of finish to be reapplied and the amount of equipment or furnishings needed to moved and the time of day that it can be serviced.
Lets take a look at the differences between Acrylic and polyurethane Finishes:
-
CAcrylic Finish
- Is far less durable than Polyurethane.
- will wear and yellow after short periods of time.
- Is less expensive.
- Requires more interim and restorative maintenance.
Acrylic requires a chemical stripper to remove ( Water +VOC’s)
Polyurethane Finish
- Is more durable.
- Can last up to 5 years with preventative(dust mop and vacuuming) and scheduled maintenance (low or high speed burnishing).
- The time in between stripping and re-finishing greatly reduces restoration costs and down time in your space.
- Most manufacturers are suggesting this for their products immediately after installation.
- Requires mechanical abrasion to remove (No water- No harsh odor)

Is it better Shampoo or steam cleaning?
Steam cleaning stands out as a supremely effective method, owing to its advanced technology and integrated machinery. Moreover, the infusion of hot water and cleansing agents ensures a swift and thorough penetration into upholstery, surpassing the efficacy of traditional shampooing techniques.

My carpet looks like new. Will use again as needed and looking forward to having them return to deep clean my hard wood floors.
Great service. Cleaned carpet in several areas of my home. Also, cleaned tile and grout in 3 bathrooms which look great. Very professional, timely, neat and did a great job. Would highly recommend.
Came on time too!

Pablo and his assistant texted ahead and were very prompt. They did a beautiful job. They were professional and reasonably priced. Highly recommend Pro Carpet Care & Cleaning.
We have been shampooing our rugs and cleaning using enzyme cleaners and nothing really gets the smell out.
We’ll now the house is finally back to smelling fresh and clean without any wierd lingering odors.
Highly recommend!
Everything looks clean, sparkly & wonderful! Thank you Pablo!
Two days later they came to do the work. Very professional and explained what they were doing
I would highly recommend them
Pablo was amazing from the start - so professional and upfront stated there’s not much he could do but get blowers to dry the rug out and spray it with anti bacterial to stop molding from happening. He let us keep the blowers all day/overnight to get the rug dry and it already turned out better. He didn’t charge us for the blowers - all he charged us for was the bacterial products which was great.
George helped Pablo with the couch and it turned out impeccable. He got all the water stains off the couch and cleaned it top to bottom. They took their time with the couch, diligently sprayed the rug and the situation turned out great.
Would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
My area rug, chair and steps look incredible! If you want high quality work, I highly recommend you hire Pro Carpet Care.
