Long-Lasting Shine, Better Safety, and Lower Maintenance Costs

VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile) floors are one of the most common flooring types in commercial buildings — from schools and medical facilities to retail stores and offices. Over time, foot traffic, spills, and dirt can dull the tile and wear down the finish. That’s where professional floor waxing comes in!
Here are the top benefits of regularly stripping and waxing your VCT floors:
✨ 1️⃣ Restores Shine & Professional Appearance
A high-gloss wax finish instantly elevates the look of your space, making it feel clean, welcoming, and well-maintained.
🛡 2️⃣ Protects Your Floors from Damage
Wax acts as a protective barrier against scratches, stains, moisture, and scuff marks — extending the life of your flooring investment.
🧼 3️⃣ Easier Daily Cleaning
With a smooth, sealed surface, dirt and debris stay on top — making routine mopping more effective and less time-consuming.
🚶♂️ 4️⃣ Improved Safety
A properly maintained wax finish offers slip resistance and reduces trip hazards caused by worn, uneven tile surfaces.
💰 5️⃣ Saves Money Over Time
Regular maintenance prevents costly tile replacement by preserving the flooring underneath.
📅 How Often Should You Wax VCT?
Most commercial spaces benefit from waxing every 3–6 months, depending on traffic and usage.
