Floor stripping and waxing removes the old, worn finish from a hard floor, then seals it with fresh coats of floor finish. Thumbs Up Landscaping does this for Mississauga businesses on vinyl tile and similar hard floors. It brings back the shine, protects the floor and makes daily cleaning easier.

Your floor isn't dirty. It's tired.

The shine is gone, the walkways have turned grey, and mopping doesn't change a thing. That's old wax with dirt trapped in it, and no mop is going to get that out.

Below: what stripping and waxing actually means, which floors can take it, how often you need it, and what changes the price.

What's the Difference Between Stripping, Waxing and Buffing?

These get mixed up a lot, and they're three different jobs. Think of it like your car: a quick polish, a wax, or stripping it back and starting over.

Job What it does When you need it
Buffing Polishes the finish already on the floor The floor is dull but in decent shape
Scrub and recoat Cleans the top layer and adds fresh coats The finish is worn, but not down to the floor
Strip and wax Removes everything and starts fresh The floor is yellow, grey or scuffed through

How Does Floor Stripping and Waxing Work?

1

Clear the Floor

Furniture and mats come off, and the floor gets swept and cleaned.

2

Strip the Old Finish

A stripping solution goes down to break up the old wax, then a floor machine scrubs it off.

3

Rinse and Dry

The floor gets rinsed until it's clean, then dries completely.

4

Lay Down New Coats

Several thin coats of floor finish go on, and each one dries before the next.

5

Open the Floor

Once the last coat has dried, furniture goes back and people can walk on it.

Which Floors Can Be Waxed?

Not every hard floor should get wax. Using it on the wrong one can leave you with a slippery, cloudy mess.

Floor Can it be waxed?
Vinyl composition tile (VCT) Yes. This is the classic commercial floor
Sheet vinyl and linoleum Usually yes
Luxury vinyl plank Usually no. Check the manufacturer's rules
Laminate No
Finished hardwood No. It gets refinished instead

How Often Do Commercial Floors Need Stripping and Waxing?

It depends on foot traffic. Busy floors often need a full strip once or twice a year, and quiet ones can go much longer.

Regular cleaning and a scrub and recoat between strips keep the floor looking good for longer. That means you strip it less often, and that saves you money.

How Much Does Floor Stripping and Waxing Cost in Mississauga?

It depends on four things:

✓  The size of the floor

✓  How much old wax has built up

✓  How much furniture has to move

✓  When the work has to happen

Until the last coat has dried. It depends on the size of the floor, and we'll give you the timing with your quote.
