Commercial Floor-Care Resources
Plain explanations of the decisions facility managers actually face, written to be useful whether or not you hire us.
These guides cover the questions that come up most often when specifying commercial floor care: which service a floor genuinely needs, how buffing and burnishing differ, how often floors need maintaining, how to prepare a facility for service, and what drives pricing.
Floor-care guides
Strip and Wax vs. Scrub and Recoat
Both services restore a coated commercial floor. One removes everything and starts over; the other renews what is already there. Choosing correctly saves money, time, and disruption.
Buffing vs. Burnishing
The two terms get used interchangeably, but they describe different machines, different results, and different demands on the floor finish underneath.
How Often Commercial VCT Floors Need Maintenance
There is no universal schedule. What there is instead is a set of factors that reliably predict how fast a floor will decline, and a way to build a schedule around them.
How to Prepare a Facility for Floor-Care Service
Most floor-care problems are logistics problems. A building that is genuinely ready lets the crew spend the whole window on the floor instead of on obstacles.
Factors That Affect Commercial Floor-Care Pricing
Two buildings with the same square footage can be quoted very differently, and the reasons are usually specific and identifiable rather than arbitrary.
