    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.
