Restore. Protect. Extend the Life of Your Floors.

A Smarter Clean LLC provides professional commercial VCT floor stripping and waxing throughout Delaware and nearby Eastern Shore Maryland, including Worcester and Wicomico Counties.


When VCT and resilient flooring begins to dull, yellow, or show embedded scuffs, it is more than cosmetic—it is a maintenance issue.


A properly performed strip and wax service removes compromised finish layers, deep cleans the floor, and rebuilds a durable protective finish system designed for commercial traffic, safer appearance, and easier ongoing maintenance.

We service offices, churches, clubhouses, schools, retail spaces, municipal buildings, medical-adjacent offices, and commercial facilities that need clean, polished, professional-looking floors.

Maryland: 

  • How often should VCT floors be stripped and waxed?

    Most commercial VCT floors should be stripped and waxed every 6–12 months depending on foot traffic, soil load, maintenance frequency, and the condition of the existing finish. High-traffic areas may need service sooner, while properly maintained floors may last longer between full strip and wax services.

  • How long does a commercial strip and wax service take?

    Most commercial strip and wax projects are completed within 1–2 days, depending on the square footage, number of coats, drying conditions, and how much old finish needs to be removed. Larger facilities or heavily built-up floors may require additional time, and we can often schedule work after hours or in sections to reduce disruption.

  • Can you maintain the floors after service?

    Yes, maintenance programs are available.

  • Will operations be disrupted?

    Evening and weekend scheduling is available.

  • What types of floors can be stripped and waxed?

    Most VCT and resilient commercial floors can be stripped and waxed when the existing finish has become dull, yellowed, scuffed, or difficult to maintain. During a walkthrough, A Smarter Clean evaluates the floor type, condition, traffic level, and existing finish before recommending the best maintenance approach.

  • Do you provide commercial VCT strip and wax services throughout Delaware?

    Yes. A Smarter Clean provides commercial VCT strip and wax services throughout Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, including offices, schools, churches, medical facilities, retail spaces, and other commercial buildings.
