Floor Stripping and Waxing Services in Houston, Dallas & Austin, TX

Professional VCT floor stripping, deep cleaning, and high-gloss waxing for schools, government buildings, and commercial facilities. 18+ years experience. CHOICE Partners & PCA awarded vendor.

What Is Floor Stripping and Waxing?

Floor stripping and waxing is a professional hard floor maintenance service that removes old, built-up floor finish (wax) and applies fresh coats of high-gloss floor finish to restore and protect Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) and other hard flooring surfaces. Over time, floor finish becomes dull, yellowed, and scuffed — stripping and rewaxing restores the floor to a clean, polished appearance and protects the underlying tile from damage and wear.

Caring Commercial Cleaning Inc. recommends annual or semi-annual floor stripping and waxing for most commercial facilities. We serve schools, government offices, and commercial buildings across Houston, Dallas, and Austin, TX with professional-grade floor care equipment and commercial floor finish products.

Our Floor Stripping and Waxing Process

  1. Furniture and obstacle removal — moveable furniture is cleared from the floor area
  2. Chemical stripping — a professional-grade stripping solution is applied to dissolve and loosen all existing floor finish layers
  3. Machine scrubbing — an auto-scrubber or high-speed floor machine agitates and removes the old wax completely
  4. Floor neutralization and rinsing — the stripping chemical is fully neutralized and the floor is rinsed clean to ensure proper adhesion of new finish
  5. Drying — the floor is dried completely before any finish is applied
  6. Multiple finish coats — typically 4–6 coats of commercial-grade high-gloss floor finish are applied, with drying time between each coat
  7. Buffing to a shine — the final finish is buffed to a high-gloss shine using a high-speed burnisher
  8. Furniture replacement — furniture is moved back and the area is restored

Floor Stripping and Waxing — Frequently Asked Questions

For most commercial facilities with moderate to high foot traffic, we recommend full floor stripping and waxing once or twice per year. High-traffic areas like school hallways and government lobbies may benefit from twice-yearly service. Between full strip-and-wax cycles, periodic scrub-and-recoat services can extend the life of your floor finish.
The time required depends on the square footage and number of rooms. A typical classroom (approximately 900 sq ft) takes 2–4 hours. A full school building or large facility may require a full day or multiple days. We always provide a detailed scope and timeline as part of our free quote.
While it is possible, we strongly recommend scheduling floor stripping and waxing during off-hours, weekends, summer break, or winter break. The stripping chemicals and wet floors require ventilation and present slip hazards. We work around your facility’s schedule to minimize disruption.
We primarily service VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile), which is the most common hard floor surface in schools, government buildings, and commercial offices. We also service vinyl plank, resilient tile, and some concrete surfaces. We do not strip and wax hardwood floors. Contact us to confirm your specific floor type.
