How often should you strip and wax VCT floors?
VCT floor care for Rhode Island commercial facilities: when to strip and wax, and what affects the schedule.
What strip and wax does
Stripping removes old finish and buildup, then new finish is applied to protect the tile, improve appearance, and make daily cleaning easier. It is a scheduled floor care service, not a daily task.
How often, in general
Many commercial facilities strip and wax VCT floors every 6 to 12 months, depending on traffic, cleaning routine, and finish wear. High-traffic entrances and hallways often need it more often than low-traffic offices.
What shortens or extends the schedule
Traffic volume, wet weather, grit from entrances, and how often floors are swept, mopped, and burnished all affect finish life. A walkthrough of your floors, traffic, and current finish gives a realistic schedule for your building, not a generic one.
