WOOD FLOOR STRIPPING
Our wood floor stripping services
Floor stripping is the essential process of removing the worn, sealed top layer of the floor surface to remove accumulated dirt, grease, and debris. This process uses a combination of strippers and specialized machinery to remove the deteriorated layer from a softwood or hardwood floor, revealing the clean, undamaged surface beneath. Stripping is a crucial step in restoring a floor to its original condition, ensuring it is ready for a new coat of sealing and polishing.
Our floor stripping service is suitable for various types of wood floors. Carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions, we use the appropriate cleaning agents and techniques to prevent damage and achieve professional results. This service ensures that your floor is not only visually appealing but also durable enough to withstand the rigors of daily use.

¿Why remove wax off hardwood floors?
The natural beauty of hardwood flooring makes it a popular conventional option since it blends well with most types of interior design. However, there are times when you might need to understand how to remove wax off hardwood floors for several factors. If you’re not cautious enough and accidentally drop some wax while blowing the candles, the stain may occur. Since it doesn’t happen frequently, many people can be unsure about how to get rid of this stain. But there’s another reason why knowing how to remove wax off hardwood floors can be helpful. Wax coats serve as a natural barrier between the surface and moisture, extending the lifespan of this flooring material. However, the dirt and scratches that these topcoats gather over time cause them to become dull.
Signs Your Wood Floors Need Stripping
Wood floors also require periodic stripping and waxing to maintain their beauty and durability. The following signs may indicate when it’s time to strip and wax your wood floors:
Dullness and Discoloration
Foot traffic, spills, and time can dull the shine of your wood floors. If your floor has lost its shine or has discolored spots, it’s time to strip and wax.
Visible Scratches and Marks
Wood floors are susceptible to scratches and marks, especially in high-traffic areas. If you notice these imperfections, it may be time to consider stripping and waxing to restore the floor’s appearance.
Wax Buildup
Wax can build up over time and create a yellowed or cloudy appearance. If your wood floor shows signs of wax buildup, it’s time to strip and rewax.
Time since last service
Wood floors should be stripped and waxed every 1 to 2 years. However, this timeframe may vary depending on the traffic on your floors. High-traffic areas may require more frequent maintenance.
Remember that stripping and waxing is not suitable for all types of wood floors. Some modern wood floors have polyurethane, varnish, or shellac finishes that should never be waxed. Consider consulting us before proceeding with a stripping and waxing service for your wood floors. At JC Cleaning Solution, we are at your service.
