  • About Floor Care

    Residential floor polish is cosmetic and usually DIY. Commercial waxing is a compliance product: slip resistance, chemical durability, traffic tolerance, and drying windows that do not shut down your business are all engineered in. We use UL-certified finishes that meet OSHA walking-working surfaces safety standards, and the scheduling is built around your closing hours.

    • VCT strip and wax — machine-stripped, neutralized, 2 to 3 fresh coats
    • LVT and luxury vinyl waxing — scuffs removed, sheen maintained
    • Tile and linoleum finishing — multi-coat wax for retail and healthcare
    • Floor buffing and burnishing to restore gloss between wax cycles
    • Post-construction floor preparation — stripped, sealed, and finished
    • Annual maintenance programs with scheduled strip-and-wax visits

    Floor Maintenance as Liability Management

    A slippery lobby floor is rarely a cosmetic problem first. It’s a liability problem that happens to also look bad. Slip-and-fall claims are one of the most common commercial insurance disputes in New York, and a documented, scheduled floor maintenance program is one of the clearest ways a business or building owner can show they took reasonable care, not just after an incident, but as an ongoing practice.

    What a Maintenance Log Actually Protects

    When a claim does come in, the first question insurers and attorneys ask is usually whether the floor was reasonably maintained leading up to the incident. A business that can point to a recurring service history, dated visits, finish type applied, slip-resistance rating, is in a fundamentally different position than one that waxed the lobby once and hoped for the best. Annual maintenance programs with site logs exist for exactly this reason. It’s not just about keeping the floor looking presentable between visits, it’s about having a paper trail if a dispute ever lands on someone’s desk.

    Matching Finish to Actual Risk, Not Just Look

    A retail entryway that tracks in rain and snow all winter needs a different slip-resistance profile than a quiet corporate hallway that rarely sees wet shoes. High-gloss finishes photograph beautifully in a lobby, but gloss and slip resistance aren’t always the same conversation, and a building that prioritizes appearance without checking the traction rating for its actual foot traffic is taking on more risk than it realizes. Medical and educational facilities in particular tend to lean toward matte or satin finishes specifically because the tradeoff favors safety over shine, especially in spaces with elderly visitors, children, or anyone moving through on crutches or a cane.

    Getting this right up front, matching finish and maintenance frequency to how a space actually gets used rather than defaulting to whatever looks best in photos, tends to matter more over a five-year stretch than most facility budgets account for.

    Will definitely refer people to your service! Daya and Erke were wonderful, thorough, and efficient. They had very positive energy throughout, in spite of this daunting move-out cleaning. The kitchen was especially well done: Erke emptied the fridge and cleaned it and the stove inside and outside of all cabinets and the under-sink until spotless. Daya did a fantastic job on both bathrooms, and she got black mold off the lower corner of a wall that was exposed when the movers took a piece of furniture away that had been there for years. She also managed to get up all the adhesive from the hardwood floor where a felt rug pad had left horrible residue about 6” wide, around the entire border of the rug. Excellent job, women! Thank You.

    Cleaning Chief came through for us with quick booking, detailed review of our needs for an extensive post-floor-refinishing dust cleanup and a pre-move-in deep clean. Price was reasonable and all the members of the team who were there for part or all of the (several hour) cleaning job were terrific. Katherine was wonderful, as was Veronica, Christina and Leo, and they all worked hard to get our apt looking great! Would highly recommend and will be returning customers!

    This was my first time working with Daya and she was nothing short of professional. She came in and immediately asked me what I wanted and if there was a particular way I wanted things done. She handled each room with care and was adamant about cleaning everything to my preferred standard. She insisted that I let her know what I wanted which created a comfortable working relationship for us. I would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional service.

    Daya and Catherine did an incredible job deep cleaning my apartment. The place was spotless and they did all the little things (taking out the trash, making the beds, folding towels) to make the place look perfect. Very thorough, but also in and out in less than 3 hours. Really happy with the experience!

    Recently my apartment has become quite dirty because my husband and I both had cancer at the same time. I felt overwhelmed and ashamed by the condition of my home. I hired Cleaning Chief ( found on Yelp) to do a deep cleaning. A lovely young woman came and cleaned up tons of dust and cat hair for me. I have clean floors and sparkling fixtures and mirrors. It was expensive for me, but well worth it. I'm no longer ashamed of my home. Before leaving she said she'd tried. I'd say that not only did she try, she nailed it.

    Review for Leo L – Standard Cleaning (2BR/1BA Apartment) As an accountant and a customer service provider myself, I take professionalism and service seriously. So when I say this company—and especially Leo L—represent the true meaning of professionalism, it’s because I know what I’m talking about.From the moment I booked, everything was seamless. The customer service was prompt, clear, and friendly. Then Leo arrived right on time, got straight to work, and completely transformed my 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with incredible speed and attention to detail.This was my first time having a male cleaner, and Leo absolutely impressed me. He was respectful, efficient, and so thorough. I was shocked at how fast everything got done—and done well—allowing me to actually relax and enjoy my afternoon.Leo told me I’m the best—but truly, he is amazing. I’ll be booking again without hesitation, and I hope he gets the recognition and bonus he deserves. Highly recommended!

The team did an amazing and thorough job cleaning our 2000+ sq. ft. office, and when we returned on Monday, it still had a fresh scent. I highly recommend their services!

    FAQs

    Most common Floor Care questions

    Read these before booking Floor Care

    What types of commercial floors can be waxed?

    We service VCT (vinyl composition tile), LVT (luxury vinyl tile), sheet vinyl, linoleum, sealed ceramic tile, sealed porcelain, sealed concrete, and select epoxy floors. We don’t wax unsealed natural stone, raw concrete, or untreated hardwood unless properly sealed first.

    How long before we can walk on waxed floors?

    Each wax coat takes 30-60 minutes to dry. We use commercial air movers to accelerate curing. Most jobs are walkable in 3-5 hours and ready for full traffic in 12-24 hours. Light traffic with booties possible sooner.

    Is commercial floor wax slip-resistant?

    Yes. We use UL-certified commercial finishes that meet OSHA and ADA safety standards for slip resistance in offices, medical clinics, schools, and public buildings.

    Can you clean and wax floors overnight?

    Absolutely. Most commercial floor waxing is performed after business hours—evenings, nights, or weekends—to avoid disrupting operations and foot traffic. We work around your schedule and access requirements.

    What's the difference between buffing and strip-and-wax?

    Buffing uses high-speed burnishers to restore shine on existing wax layers. Strip-and-wax removes all old wax down to the bare floor and applies fresh coats from scratch. Buffing is routine maintenance (monthly to quarterly); strip-and-wax is a full floor restoration done once every 5–10 years depending on floor condition, traffic volume, and product buildup.

    How often should commercial floors be waxed?

    For most commercial spaces, buffing runs monthly to quarterly to maintain gloss and protect the finish. A full strip-and-wax — removing all existing wax down to bare floor and applying fresh coats from scratch — is typically needed once every 5–10 years depending on floor type, traffic volume, and how well the surface was maintained between restorations. We assess the floor condition on-site before recommending a schedule.

    What areas and boroughs do you service?

    Manhattan (Midtown, Financial District, Chelsea, SoHo), Brooklyn (Downtown Brooklyn, Industry City, Williamsburg), Queens (Long Island City, Astoria, Flushing), the Bronx, Staten Island, and Jersey City.

    Do you offer green or low-VOC floor waxes?

    Yes. We offer EPA-compliant low-VOC finishes for LEED-certified buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and businesses prioritizing indoor air quality.
