Floor Stripping, Waxing and Buffing

Floor Stripping

This is one of the most difficult cleaning processes for professionals and worse for amateurs. Many people undertake to strip the old finish from a floor and find that they made a big mistake. Experience and the proper equipment is essential for proper floor stripping. Why pay more for floor stripping by going cheap?

Floor Power Scrub

If your floor doesn’t need to be stripped of any old finishes but just needs to be scrubbed with a good floor machine, now is as good a time as any. This is also important if you are going to apply a finish to your floor. What is the difference between floor scrubbing and mopping? Lots! Mopping doesn’t remove all of the dirt and grime from a floor but actually leaves a swirl of residue behind. If you apply a finish to this you will seal under that film beneath your new floor finish, and it may look like something that needs to be mopped up but won't come out. A floor scrubber actually applies cleaning solution, scrubs it around, and extracts it off of the floor with a powerful vacuum. Why pay more for floor scrubbing by going cheap?

Floor Polymer Seal and Finishing (Waxing)

After a floor has been scrubbed or stripped, it is ready for that new fresh coat of polymer floor finish or "floor waxing." We use the proper finish application methods and leave you with a dazzling floor. It is recommended that a residential floor have at least 3-5 coats of finish applied. Commercial and high traffic areas may need as many as 8-12 coats. The more coats, the better the quality of shine, especially when combined with a proper burnishing (buffing) regimen. Please note: It is never recommended that consumer grade finishes like Mop-N-Sparkle be used as a floor finish as it seals under dirty mop water residue and will leave your floor looking more and more dingy every time it is used. It can also be very difficult to strip off. Why pay more by going cheap? Do it right the first time by calling Cobblestone Cleaning Company at (432) 294-0184. Call for special commercial quotes.

Floor Buffing, Floor Burnishing, or Floor Polishing

Low speed buffing or high speed burnishing--most don’t know the difference, but both are techniques for floor polishing. Floor buffing involves using a low speed (150-200 RPMs) and is the old way of floor polishing. Floor burnishing is a high-speed technique with a machine that rotates at speeds of 1500-3000 RPMs. High speed floor burnishing is a floor polishing technique that sears the polymer finish into a bright shine with less time by means of heat and pressure. Cobblestone Cleaning Company can even accommodate your business with low cost regular floor burnishing service to keep your floors bright. Why pay more by going cheap?
