High-traffic commercial floors take a beating. Over time, constant foot traffic, dirt, and daily wear can leave surfaces looking dull, scratched, and worn—even with regular cleaning in place. When that happens, routine maintenance isn’t enough to restore their original appearance.
That’s where professional strip and wax services make a measurable difference.
What Is a Strip and Wax Service?
A strip and wax service is a deep restorative process designed to remove buildup and protect your floors moving forward.
Here’s what it includes:
-
-
-
-
- Removing old, worn-out wax and embedded dirt
- Deep cleaning the floor surface
- Applying multiple coats of high-quality floor finish
- Buffing for a smooth, glossy, and durable result
- The result is a clean, polished floor that not only looks better but is also better protected against daily wear.

Before: The Impact of Wear and Tear
Before a professional strip and wax, floors often appear:
-
-
-
-
- Scratched and uneven
- Dull or hazy from residue buildup
- Discoloured in high-traffic areas
- Difficult to fully clean with standard methods
- Even with consistent janitorial service, layers of old finish and embedded debris gradually reduce both appearance and performance.
-
-
-
After: A Noticeable Transformation
After a strip and wax service, the improvement is immediate:
-
-
-
-
- Floors look brighter, cleaner, and more professional
- A smooth, reflective finish enhances lighting and overall appearance
- Protective layers help resist future wear and damage
- Ongoing maintenance becomes more effective and efficient
- This process doesn’t just improve how floors look—it restores their condition.

When Should You Schedule a Strip and Wax?
While timing depends on traffic levels and facility type, common indicators include:
