Hard floors in busy buildings take a beating. Over time the finish wears thin in walkways, scuffs build up, and layers of old wax trap dirt and turn yellow. Regular mopping can't fix that; the old finish has to come off.
EEB strips, waxes and burnishes commercial hard floors for offices, schools, stores and other facilities across Nassau County, Long Island and New York City. We schedule the work when your building is closed, so floors have time to dry before people return.
Stripping removes the old floor finish (often called wax) down to the bare floor, along with the dirt and scuffs trapped in it.
Waxing applies fresh coats of floor finish to protect the floor and give it an even shine. The number of coats depends on the floor, its condition and the finish system used.
Burnishing (also called buffing or polishing) uses a high-speed machine to bring back the shine between strips, without removing the finish.
Most floors that are stripped are waxed straight after, so the two are usually booked together.

Stripping and waxing is used on resilient hard floors such as vinyl composition tile (VCT), which is common in schools, offices, stores and medical buildings, and other resilient flooring designed to take a floor finish.
We check the floor material and existing finish before confirming the treatment. Not every floor should be waxed: hardwood, natural stone and some sealed floors need different care.
If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll tell you what your floor needs. For tile, see Tile & Grout Cleaning.
The time depends on the size of the area, how many layers of old finish there are and how many coats go down. A small office may be done in one evening; larger areas may be split across nights or done over a weekend.
How often a floor needs stripping depends on traffic. Busy entrances and hallways wear faster than private offices. Many facilities strip and wax once or twice a year and burnish in between to keep the shine. If you have EEB janitorial service, floor care can be built into your schedule. See Janitorial Services.
