Floor waxing is an essential component of maintaining a commercial property. Maintenance Specialists Inc. provides floor waxing services in Charlotte, NC. We will keep your floors clean and shiny to improve the overall appearance of your business.

Importance of Floor Waxing

A commercial property sees a lot of foot traffic. With people constantly coming and going, your floors can get pretty dirty by the end of the day. Dirty floors can be quite an eyesore as well. If you want to create a clean and attractive environment for your employees and customers, consider adding floor waxing to your maintenance plan. Here are the main benefits of floor waxing.

Enhanced Aesthetics
Waxed floors can enhance the overall appearance of your commercial property. Clean and shiny floors can make your business look more professional and reputable. Thus, customers will be encouraged to enter your commercial property and do business with you. Waxed floors also help create a brighter and more productive work environment for employees.

Longer Lifespan
Wax serves as a protective layer for your floors. It will protect against nicks, scratches, dings, and scuff marks. Wax also prevents the absorption of liquids so floors are less likely to get stained. Because of these protective elements, you can retain the original finish of your floors for much longer. Waxing is cost-effective because your floors will have a longer lifespan compared to unwaxed floors.

Increased Safety
Floors with nicks and scratches are not only unattractive, but they can also create safety hazards. Unwaxed floors are also more slippery, which can result in more slips and falls. Floor waxing can help reduce accidents and injuries in your commercial property. By adding floor waxing and maintenance, you can avoid costly medical expenses, litigation, and other liabilities.

How to Strip and Wax Floors

Floor

Inspection and Preparation
Before anything else, make sure to inspect your floors. The condition of your floors will determine which steps you should take next. For instance, if the floors were previously treated, you will need to strip them before waxing. The type of wax to be used will also depend on the type of floor material. Thus, the initial inspection can make you better prepared for the next steps.

This first step also entails a proper sweeping and cleaning of floors. Remove all the furniture and objects inside the room to prepare for the next step.

Floor Stripping
Floor stripping is necessary to remove all the dirt, dust, debris, stains, and oils that have accumulated on the surface, as well as the old wax or finish. This step will remove all the imperfections on the floor and prep it for a fresh new layer of wax.

  • Floor Stripping Chemicals: There are many types of floor stripping chemicals so it’s important to choose one that is designed for the surface you are working with. There are floor strippers for wood, concrete, vinyl, linoleum, marmoleum, and so on.
  • Dangers of Floor Strippers: Floor strippers typically have a pH level between 10 to 14. Thus, exposure and contact with floor strippers can lead to serious chemical burns and even internal damage. Floor strippers also contain volatile organic compounds, which is toxic and harmful to the environment.
  • Alternatives to Floor Strippers: If you want to avoid the dangers of floor strippers, there are some alternatives that you can use. Orbital scrubbers can strip floors without the use of chemicals. There are also green floor stippers that are safe for the environment.

For leftover wax on the edges, use a putty knife or razor blade to scrape the wax off the floor. Use a clean mop and water to remove the stripper and wax from the surface. Allow to dry before proceeding to the next step.

Apply Sealant
Not all floors will require a sealant. However, it is essential if your floors are older and made of porous materials such as brick, sandstone, and other natural stone materials. The sealant will prevent the wax from leaking or seeping into the surface of your floors. The sealant will also help insulate your floors. Make sure to apply two coats of sealant so that it will last longer. A single coat will wear down at a much faster rate.

Wax the Floors
Now is the time when you can finally wax your floors. Similar to floor strippers, the wax should be designed for the material of your floors. There are two main types: solid paste and liquid.

  • Liquid Floor Wax: This type of wax is a clear liquid that’s easy to apply. It is also quick-drying but still gives your floors a long-lasting shine. It can be used on wood, linoleum, and cork surfaces.
  • Solid Paste Wax: This type of wax takes longer to apply. However, it will stay on floors much longer than liquid floor wax. It can also smoothen uneven floor surfaces. Solid paste wax is ideal for hardwood floors because it produces a deeper and richer shine.
  • Eco-Friendly Wax: Floor wax contains synthetic materials and chemicals so they can be harmful to the environment. If you want an eco-friendly solution, there are floor waxes made of natural ingredients such as beeswax, carnauba wax, linseed oil, and lavender oil.
  • Water-Based Silicone Polish: Floor wax should not be used on “no-wax floors” such as those with a polyurethane finish. Apply a water-based silicone polish instead of waxing.

Apply the floor wax using a mop. Use a wringer to remove excess wax so that you can apply a thin coat. You don’t want the layer to be too thick as this will create an unattractive buildup. Start from the innermost portion of the room and work your way towards the door. Allow the floor wax to dry completely before applying another layer. Floors typically receive 2 to 5 layers of wax.

Buff the Floors
After the wax has dried, you can start buffing the floors. This is an important step because the buffing is what will make your floors look clean, shiny, and presentable. It also prolongs the life of the floor wax. Buffing should be done at least once a week as part of your floor maintenance.
