Vinyl Tile Stripping and Waxing Phoenix

 

This busy Phoenix, AZ pant store had just had their floors stripped and waxed two weeks before they called Prestige Floor and Carpet Care to the rescue. The strip and wax service performed by the previous company was not a bargain ($4,000) and the floors went from shinny white to black in less than two weeks.

The owners of the hardware store called Prestige Floor and Carpet Care to weigh in on the situation; they were very upset and wanted our professional opinion.

After careful analysis of the hardware store's floor, our team concluded that the wax had been applied improperly and that the service provider used the wrong kind of wax to perform the job. The cleaning agent provided and used to maintain the floor created a chemical reaction with the wax causing the floor to turn black.

Our recommendation was to have the floor re-striped and waxed by the previous company as the expense of hiring Prestige Floor and Carpet Care at this time would not make sense without attempting to have them rectify the situation. We also recommended a weekly scrub and buffing, monthly scrub and recoat, and an annual stripping and waxing.

Hiring the wrong company to take care of your floors can end up being very costly and disturbing to your business (no one wants their customers to see black floors). Our experience and know how allow us to deliver quality service at the right price, which will save you time, money and unnecessary worries.

VCT, vinyl composition tile, is found everywhere from supermarkets to factories to hospitals to residential kitchen floors. When polished to a high shine, few floor covering can compare to the clean, fresh look of a VCT floor. Since VCT is covered with wax or floor finish, maintaining the floor is more about preserving the brilliance of the wax coat. For this, a buffing machine, mops and above all, a routine schedule are needed.

STRIP AND WAX: Little dirt particles and dust inevitably get into your waxed floors, and over time the floor will begin to yellow from the light. To return your floors to the “new floor shine” and near the original condition as possible you will need a Strip and Wax. The Strip and Wax is recommended a minimum of every 12 months for low to medium traffic floors, and 4-6 months for high traffic floors. Floor service is customized for your facility. Prestige Floor and Carpet Care highly trained technicians are ready to help you to improve the image of your company with a professional Strip and Wax floor job.

SCRUB AND FINISH: When floors lose their original high gloss look and appear dull, it is time to recoat. A planed scrub and recoat will provide optimum appearance and greatly reduce the need for stripping and waxing, saving time and money.

BURNISHING (BUFFING): If the floor in your building lost their luster, it might be time to burnish them. Burnishing (floor buffing) the floors in your facility gives them a high gloss or “wet” look. The process of burnishing uses an ultra high-speed floor machine to renew the floor surface. Prestige Floor and Carpet Care offers many options with this Floor Care Program to ensure the quality appearance of your floors. Our buffing equipment range from quite electric buffers to ultra high-speed propane buffers.
