A full reset for worn floor finish
Remove tired finish and rebuild a clean protective surface
LT Janitorial evaluates compatible commercial floors for stripping, preparation, and fresh finish when routine cleaning and burnishing can no longer restore the appearance.
Focused serviceStrip and WaxFloor Maintenance
What this service is for
Strip and wax is not appropriate for every floor. Surface identification and a controlled service window are essential because furniture, moisture, foot traffic, and cure time affect the result.
What Strip and Wax can include.
Layers of worn finish can become dull, uneven, scratched, or discolored in traffic lanes. Adding more product does not correct a compromised base. Strip and wax service removes the old finish so the floor can be prepared for a new coating system.
The method is surface dependent. LT Janitorial reviews the material, existing finish, edge buildup, furniture movement, cure window, and return to traffic before proposing the work.

How the scope develops
A process built around the service.
Each service follows its own operating logic. These steps show what LT Janitorial needs to understand before the work is placed on the calendar.
Assess compatibility
Confirm the floor and existing coating are suitable for a strip and wax process.
Remove and prepare
Strip the worn finish, recover residue, and prepare the surface for recoating.
Apply and protect
Build the new finish and respect the required cure time before normal traffic returns.
Connected work

Strip and Wax questions
Answers for the planning conversation.
01Which floors can be stripped and waxed?
VCT and some compatible resilient commercial floors may qualify. The surface must be evaluated before the method is selected.
02How long must the area remain closed?
The service and cure window depends on the floor, coating system, area size, and site conditions, so timing is set in the project scope.
03Can burnishing replace stripping?
Burnishing can improve a maintained finish, but it cannot correct every worn or failing coating. The assessment determines the appropriate level.
