Strip and Wax vs. Buffing: Which Service Do You Need?
Strip and wax may be best when:
- The old finish is yellowed, dirty, or uneven
- Wax buildup is visible around edges or baseboards
- Traffic lanes remain dull after cleaning
- The floor has layers of old finish that need removal
- You want a fresh protective finish applied
Buffing may be best when:
- The finish is still in good condition
- The floor has light dullness or traffic wear
- You want to refresh shine between full services
- The floor is maintained regularly
- You want a lower-cost maintenance option
Vinyl Composite Tile Floor Care Tips
When vinyl composite tile or VCT is first installed, it needs to cure for at least 7 days before professional finishing. A light stripping removes factory finish and soil, then the floor is rinsed and finished with sealer and coats of floor finish depending on the condition.
- Sweep floors regularly to prevent scratches and abrasions
- Mop with a neutral floor cleaner
- Avoid high-pH alkaline cleaners such as ammonia, bleach, and bathroom cleaners
- Avoid dragging furniture or heavy items across the floor
- Use felt pads on chairs and furniture that slide
- Clean spills promptly so they do not soften or damage floor finish
- Use walk-off mats near entrances to reduce grit and tracked-in soil
- High-speed buffing can help bring back shine when the floor begins to dull
How to Prepare for Vinyl Tile Cleaning
- Remove small items, rugs, mats, trash cans, boxes, chairs, and breakables from the floor.
- Move furniture before we arrive if furniture moving is not included in your quote.
- Point out heavy wax buildup, sticky areas, stains, loose tiles, damaged edges, or problem traffic lanes.
- Let us know if a specific floor finish, cleaner, wax, or coating has been used.
- Keep pets and foot traffic off the floor until the finish is dry and ready for use.
Vinyl Tile Cleaning FAQ
