Stripping a floor in Phoenix, AZ requires a mop bucket, cotton or blended mop, floor machine (175-300rpm's) and a 3M stripping floor pad. Follow the manufacturer’s specifications for applying the floor stripper. Fill the mop bucket with 4 – 5 gallons of water and pour in 1 gallon of wax emulsifier. This is a 5:1 ratio. Dip the mop into the stripper and use this method to thoroughly mix the stripper and water. Apply the stripper in a figure 8 motion overlapping each stroke by about an inch. After you have applied the stripper let it sit on the floor for 5-7 minutes. This will give the stripper a chance to react with the floor finish.

Next place a 3M black floor pad on your floor machines. When stripping a floor in Phoenix, AZ move the floor machine back and forth on the floor overlapping by at least 1 inch on each pass. As the floor finish is removed from the floor it will become duller. You may need to spend extra time on areas with finish buildup. The main traffic area on the floor will have less buildup than low traffic areas. After completing this step, you may have to repeat it if there is still wax on the floor due to build up of too many coats over time.

After you have removed the floor stripper in Phoenix, AZ from the floor rinse the floor with warm water. Rinse the floor two more times with cold water.

After the third rinse with plain water, rinse the floor with a floor stripper neutralizer. Neutralizer will reduce the white residue left by the floor stripper so that the floor finish can adhere to the floor much better.

After the neutralizer dries check for white residue on the floor using a black towel. If residue still exists rinse one more time with cold water. Once all these steps have been completed check the floor for shiny spots. If shiny spots are evident you may need to re-strip these areas.
