Call Us NowFloor stripping is how a dull, yellowed commercial floor gets its shine back. Clean Tech Systems, Inc. strips the old finish down to bare tile, cleans it, and puts down fresh coats of floor finish for a hard, glossy surface that holds up to foot traffic.
Lobbies, hallways, classrooms, break rooms, retail aisles. If it's vinyl tile and people walk on it all day, we've likely done one like it in our 25+ years of commercial cleaning.
What Floor Stripping and Waxing Involves
The process takes several steps, and skipping one is why some floors look streaky a month later:
- Move furniture and mats, then sweep and dust mop the room
- Apply stripper and let it sit so the old finish softens
- Scrub with a floor machine and pick up the slurry with a wet vac
- Rinse until the tile is clean
- Lay down several thin coats of new finish, letting each one dry
- Put the furniture back once the floor has cured
Strip and wax is the old name for it. Most of what goes down today is a polymer finish instead of true wax, but the idea is the same: a clean base with a protective layer on top. Carpeted rooms in the same building are covered by our regular office cleaning.
Signs Your Roswell Floors Need Stripping
Yellowed Finish Along the Walls
Old finish yellows and builds up in corners and along baseboards where mops never reach. Mopping won't take it off. Stripping will.
Caliche Grit Ground Into the Lobby
The fine caliche dust that blows across Roswell rides in on every shoe and works like sandpaper on floor finish, so entrances wear through first. Cleaning the walk out front with a pressure washer cuts down what gets tracked in.
Worn Traffic Lanes in Hallways
You can see the path people walk. Once the finish is worn to bare tile in a lane, it's time to strip and start over. Between strips, regular building cleaning visits keep the grit mopped up.
New Tile After a Remodel
New VCT comes with a factory coating that has to come off before it takes finish. We handle that as part of cleaning up after the contractors.
Getting Ready for an Inspection or Open House
A freshly stripped and finished floor is the quickest way to make an older building look cared for. Pair it with clean front windows and the place looks new.
Restroom and Break Room Tile
Spills and soap build up in the finish on restroom and break room floors. A strip gets it out, and a disinfecting and deodorizing treatment handles the smell that comes with it.
Floor Stripping Without Shutting You Down
We plan the job around your hours, often on a Saturday or a slow day, and work room by room so part of the building stays open. Wet areas are coned off. Finish needs time to dry between coats, so we tell you up front when each room is safe to walk on.
We use commercial floor machines and quality strippers and finishes. Clean Tech Systems, Inc. is a family-owned, registered business (number 02-951470-00-3), and Wayne answers the phone himself.
After the Floor Stripping Crew Leaves
The floor looks wet even when it's dry. That deep shine is the new finish. Keep heavy furniture off it until we say it has cured and it stays hard and glossy.
To keep the shine longer, dust mop daily and keep mats at the doors. Most commercial floors need stripping once or twice a year, more often at busy entrances. Adding floor care to a janitorial contract stretches the time between strips.
Floor Stripping Prices for Commercial Spaces
Price depends on square footage, how many layers of old finish are down, how much furniture has to move and how many coats you want. We look at the floor and give you a free quote before any work starts.
If a floor stripping near me search sends you to a carpet cleaner who "also does tile," ask how many floor machines they own. Then give us a call.
Roswell Customers on Showing Up and Finishing the Job
Our Google reviews are mostly from vehicle work, but the habits carry over to every floor we strip. "They came on time," one truck owner wrote. Another called the crew "Fast and very efficient."
Floor Stripping Questions We Hear Most
How often should commercial floors be stripped?
Most commercial floors need it once or twice a year. Busy entrances and lobbies may need it more often, while back offices can go longer.
What kinds of floors can you strip?
Floor stripping is made for resilient tile like VCT, the vinyl composite tile found in most offices, schools and stores. Call and describe your floor if you are not sure.
Is floor stripping the same as strip and wax?
Yes, people use both names. Today the protective coat is usually a polymer floor finish rather than true wax, but the process is the same.
How long until we can walk on the floor?
Each coat needs time to dry, and drying time depends on the finish and the weather. We tell you before we start when each area will be ready.
Do we need to close the building?
Usually not. We work in sections, often on a Saturday, so the rest of the building stays usable.
