Dusting, Mopping, Polishing -
Most floors require regular dusting. This is done with either broom or dust mop. Then, depending
on flooring type, they should be wet mopped or polished with a cleaner. These steps keep debris from damaging or dulling the
surface. For suggestions on quality equipment and chemicals for your floor, see our supply store.
Strip and Wax -
This
process uses a strong chemical, coupled with an abrasive pad to completely remove all old finishes and sealers. This cleans
the floors and "resets" the surface, preparing it for refinishing. Next, multiple layers of new finish are applied. This
then protects the floor while providing the shine.
Recommended - About once every 12 to 18 months depending
on traffic
Pricing - $0.30 per sq ft
Scrub and Wax -
This process uses mild chemicals and a mild abrasive
to remove the top layers of finish, thus removing grime, scratches, and imperfections. Several new coats of finish are
applied to extend the protection and shine. Regular Scrub and Wax can extend the time between Strip and Wax, thus saving money.
Recommended - Around every 6 to 10 months depending on traffic
Pricing - $0.20 per sq ft
Buff or Burnish
This
step involves a polish of existing finish. A soft pad is used to remove a light layer of finish, while creating heat.
Scratches and imperfections are removed and the surface is brought to a high shine. This also hardens the surface, helping the
shine last. This also can extend the time between Strips and Scrubs, thus saving money.
