Did you know that neglecting proper floor maintenance can reduce the lifespan of your flooring by up to 50%?
Stripping and waxing floors is a two-step process used primarily on resilient flooring like vinyl, linoleum, and some sealed concrete types.
The goal is to remove old layers of wax or finish (stripping) and then apply a fresh coat of wax (waxing) to protect the surface and restore its shine.
Stripping involves applying a chemical stripper that breaks down the old wax layers.
After allowing it to sit, the stripper loosens the wax so it can be scrubbed off with a machine or manually.
This step is crucial because waxing over old, dirty wax leads to uneven finishes and buildup.
Waxing is the process of applying new coats of floor finish—either liquid wax or floor polish—to create a protective barrier.
This barrier guards against scratches, stains, and wear while enhancing the floor’s appearance.
Typically, multiple thin layers are applied with a mop or applicator, allowing each coat to dry fully before adding the next.
The waxes used are usually made from synthetic polymers like acrylics or urethanes, which form tough, flexible films when dry.
Some manufacturers use carnauba wax blends for a natural shine, but synthetic options tend to be more durable and easier to maintain.
