Stripping and waxing is a meticulous process designed to remove old layers of wax, dirt, and grime from your floors, followed by the application of fresh, protective wax coatings.
This multi-step procedure is vital for restoring the appearance and longevity of hard floor surfaces such as vinyl, linoleum, and tile. At LJDM in Edmonton, we specialize in transforming worn-out, lifeless floors into gleaming surfaces that exude professionalism and cleanliness.
Step-by-Step Process of Stripping and Waxing
- Inspection and Preparation
Before the process begins, our experts thoroughly inspect the flooring to identify damage, wear, and any specific needs. Furniture and obstacles are carefully removed to create a clear workspace.
- Stripping the Old Wax
Using professional-grade stripping solutions, we dissolve and remove layers of old wax, dirt, and embedded grime. Industrial scrubbers and specialized tools ensure that every corner and crevice is thoroughly cleaned.
- Rinsing and Neutralizing
Once the old wax is stripped, the floor is rinsed and neutralized to remove any residue. This step ensures that the surface is completely clean and ready for the new wax application.
- Applying Fresh Wax Coatings
Multiple coats of high-quality wax are applied evenly across the floor. Each layer is allowed to dry and cure, creating a durable and glossy finish that protects the surface from scratches, stains, and daily wear.
- Final Buffing and Polishing
To achieve a mirror-like shine, we buff the floor using high-speed machines. This final step enhances the aesthetic appeal and ensures a long-lasting finish.
The Benefits of Stripping and Waxing Floors
- Enhanced Appearance: Stripping and waxing remove dullness, scratches, and stains, leaving floors looking brand new.
- Improved Durability: Protective wax coatings guard against daily wear, spills, and abrasions, extending the life of your floors.
- Safer Surfaces: Regular maintenance reduces the risk of slips and falls by ensuring a smooth and even surface.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Restoring your floors is far more economical than replacing them entirely.
- Professional Image: Shiny, well-maintained floors contribute to a clean and professional environment, enhancing your space’s overall appeal.
