Have you ever walked into a building with beautifully glossy floors and wondered how it was achieved? Chances are, they were achieved through the process of stripping & waxing VCT floors. While this may sound daunting, it is actually a fairly simple process that can be done with the right tools and techniques.
To prepare your VCT floors for stripping & waxing, first ensure that the area is thoroughly cleaned and free of debris. Then, using a stripping agent, remove the top layer of old wax and sealer. This may take a few applications, but be patient and let the solution soak into the floor to fully remove the old wax.
Once the old wax has been removed, it’s time to apply a fresh layer of wax. Apply the wax in thin, even coats using a wax mop, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. You can also use a buffing machine to further enhance the sheen of your floors.
A freshly waxed VCT floor not only looks great, but it can also provide added protection and durability to your floors. With regular maintenance and proper cleaning, a well-waxed VCT floor can last for years to come.
Stripping & waxing VCT floors may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be easily accomplished. A fresh coat of wax can provide added protection and longevity to your floors, while also creating a beautiful, glossy finish.
