Maintaining beautiful, durable floors in your commercial space requires more than just regular sweeping and mopping. Floor stripping and waxing plays an important role in protecting your investment and ensuring a long-lasting, polished look for your floors. But how often should you schedule this essential maintenance?
Here are some factors that you should take into consideration when determining how often to schedule with a stripping and waxing service for your floor:
- Foot Traffic: High-traffic areas like lobbies, hallways, and retail spaces require more frequent stripping and waxing than low-traffic areas.
- Floor Type: Different floor types have varying levels of durability and require different maintenance schedules. Hardwood floors generally require more frequent waxing than tile or concrete.
- Wax Type: The type of wax used also affects its lifespan. High-quality, durable waxes can last longer than cheaper alternatives.
- Environmental Conditions: Factors like humidity, temperature, and exposure to sunlight can affect the wear and tear on your floors.
As a general guideline, most commercial spaces benefit from floor stripping and waxing every six to 12 months. However, high-traffic areas may require more frequent maintenance, potentially every three to six months.
On the other hand, some signs that your floor requires immediate stripping and waxing include:
- Dullness: The floor has lost its shine and appears dull or faded.
- Scratches and Scuffs: The floor surface shows signs of wear and tear, including scratches, scuffs, and other damage.
- Unevenness: The wax layer is uneven or patchy, creating a rough or uneven surface.
- Buildup: There is a noticeable buildup of dirt, grime, or old wax layers.
