Strip & Wax: Extend Your Floor’s Life Efficiently

July 3, 2025

Maintaining pristine floors is essential for both commercial and residential properties. At Alfa & Omega Building Maintenance, we understand that clean, well-maintained floors contribute not only to aesthetics but also to long-term durability. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the benefits of stripping and waxing your floors, explain the process, and show how our services can revitalize your spaces.


Why Stripping and Waxing is Essential for Floor Care


Floors bear the brunt of daily foot traffic, spills, and dirt. Over time, they can become dull and damaged, affecting your property's overall appearance. Stripping and waxing provide several key benefits:


1. Restores Floor Appearance


Stripping removes old layers of wax and dirt, revealing the floor’s true condition. Waxing then adds a new, protective layer, giving your floors a glossy, brand-new finish.


2. Extends Floor Longevity


Regular maintenance through stripping and waxing protects against wear and tear, preserving the floor material and reducing the need for costly replacements.


3. Enhances Safety


A well-maintained floor is less slippery, reducing the risk of accidents. Waxing fills in minor scratches and smoothens uneven surfaces.


4. Improves Indoor Air Quality


Removing the dirt and restoring the floor surface helps prevent the accumulation of dust and allergens, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.


The Stripping and Waxing Process Explained


Understanding the process ensures you’re making a well-informed decision for your property. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:


1. Assessment


Before beginning any work, our team conducts a thorough assessment of your floors to identify specific needs and tailor our approach.


2. Preparation


We start by clearing the area, removing obstacles, and thoroughly cleaning the floor surface to remove loose dirt and debris.


3. Stripping


Using high-quality, eco-friendly solutions, we strip away old wax, dirt, and buildup. This phase reveals the true state of the floor and prepares it for waxing.


4. Neutralizing


After stripping, we neutralize the floor to ensure all residues are removed. This step is crucial to ensure the wax adheres properly and lasts longer.


5. Waxing


Our team applies a premium wax layer, using advanced techniques to ensure even coverage. The wax acts as a protective barrier, sustaining the floor’s shine and durability.


6. Buffing


Finally, we buff the floors to enhance the natural shine and polish the wax layer. This step ensures a smooth, professional finish.
