Why Strip and Wax is the Gold Standard for Commercial Floors

Over time, commercial floors accumulate layer upon layer of old wax, embedded dirt, scuff marks, and finish coats that have yellowed and degraded. No amount of routine mopping or buffing can address this deep-set deterioration — the only solution is a complete strip and rewax. The professional strip and wax process completely removes all old finish and dirt down to the bare floor surface, then rebuilds the finish from scratch with multiple thin coats of high-performance floor wax or finish. The result is a floor that looks brand new — brilliant, clear, and deeply protective.

LowFare Commercial Maintenance's floor care technicians are trained and certified in professional floor care systems. We use commercial-grade stripping machines and purpose-formulated stripping solutions to thoroughly remove old finish without damaging the floor substrate. After stripping, the floor is meticulously rinsed and pH-neutralised before application of the new finish — a critical step that many lesser providers skip, but which is essential for proper adhesion and longevity of the new wax coats. We apply a minimum of four to five finish coats, building the kind of depth and durability that stands up to heavy commercial traffic and maintains its appearance for months.

The types of floors we service across the GTA include VCT (vinyl composition tile) — the most common commercial floor type found in schools, healthcare facilities, retail stores, and warehouses — as well as homogeneous vinyl sheet flooring, linoleum, terrazzo, and polished concrete. Our technicians assess your floor type and condition before recommending the right strip solution, finish product, and finish gloss level for your specific application. High-traffic areas like retail stores and hospital corridors require a different approach than lower-traffic environments like office storage rooms or conference areas, and we tailor our products and process accordingly.

We recommend a full strip and wax for most commercial floors once or twice per year, complemented by interim buffing or burnishing every one to two months to maintain the finish and restore shine. We offer maintenance program contracts that include both services at a bundled rate, delivering better value and ensuring your floors look their best year-round. All strip and wax services are performed during evenings or weekends to eliminate disruption to your operation. Contact us today for a free floor assessment and pricing quote.
