Floor Stripping and Waxing
Floor Stripping & Waxing
By M&V Pro Services
Floor Stripping & Waxing is the process that consists of completely removing any preexisting wax coating, grime, or dirt and reapplying fresh layers of wax. This process is exclusive for VCT (vinyl composition tile), vinyl, linoleum, epoxy and acrylic flooring. One of our M&V Pro Services staples that we’ve been completing for businesses across the Northern Indiana Area for over 25 years. Floor stripping and waxing pricing is influenced by a number factors including dirt and traffic levels as well as the mount of wax build up but predominantly focuses on square footage.

Why Should I Strip & Wax My Floor?
Besides the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that your floor is clean and healthy enough to eat off of, there are many positive benefits for your commercial space to receive proper floor maintenance. We’ll outline a few of them below:
Less Scratches: Floors wear down just like any other part of a building, but floors also suffer the most neglect. Heavy traffic and continuous use add to scratch marks and black streaking on floors that require stripping and waxing. The additional layer of wax to your floor keeps it safe from scuffs and scratches.
Prevent Tile Problems: “Tile Lifting” is an issue that results in individual tiles from a VCT or Tile Floor lifting beyond their settings in an unsightly and unsafe manner. This occurs due to water and other debris such as dust, dirt and workplace materials seeping through the cracks in your flooring. The same protective layer of wax is added to any cracks to add a protective barrier to keep your floors clean and longer lasting.
A Lasting Impression: Floor Stripping and Waxing isn’t just about maintenance, it’s about leaving a floor clean and free from stains and providing the best impression you can on clients, employees, or tenants that use common facility areas or that frequently traffic the floors.

How often should I Strip & Wax?
Regarding the frequency of your floor cleaning: you should strip and wax your floor as needed for build up of dirt, scratches, or material. The general rule of thumb for Stripping and Waxing is once per year, however if you have higher amounts of traffic or are more concerned, we recommend having your floors stripped & waxed every 8 months to keep the frequency appropriate without straining your floor. Our specialists will recommend the service should they feel it necessary, and we’ll guide your building maintenance the whole step of the way.
How much does stripping and waxing cost?
The price of stripping and waxing varies based on material (VCT, Laminate, Granite), the frequency of traffic (foot traffic, equipment traffic, demographic of traffic imprint) and the square-footage of the location in question. We serve multiple industries including schooling, aviation, retail, food service and more, so we’ve learned that just like all people: every business has specific needs and is unique. We treat all facilities maintenance with the same standard of service but make sure all of our recommendations are beneficial for your unique circumstances.
