Why Your Floors Need Professional Care from Priority One Maintenance

When it comes to keeping your commercial or office floors looking their best, few things make a bigger difference than professional stripping and waxing services.

At Priority One Maintenance, we’ve been proudly serving Edmonton and the surrounding area for over 13 years — helping businesses protect and restore their floors to a like-new shine.

Here’s why stripping and waxing isn’t just about appearances — it’s about protecting your investment, improving safety, and maintaining a professional image.

1. What Is Stripping and Waxing?

Stripping and waxing is a deep cleaning process that removes old layers of wax, dirt, and buildup from VCT (Vinyl Composite Tile) or other hard flooring.

Once stripped, we apply fresh coats of high-quality floor finish (wax) that:

Restores shine and color
Seals and protects the floor surface
Makes future cleaning easier and more effective

The result? Floors that look brand new — and stay that way longer.

2. Why Stripping and Waxing Is So Important

Over time, high-traffic areas in your building start to dull, scuff, and lose their shine. Without maintenance, grime can eat into the floor’s surface and cause permanent damage.

Regular stripping and waxing services:

Protect your floors from scratches and stains
Prevent long-term wear and discoloration
Improve traction and safety for employees and customers
Enhance the professional look of your business

For commercial spaces in Edmonton, where winter salt, dirt, and slush are hard on floors, this service is essential year-round.

3. How Often Should You Strip and Wax Your Floors?

Most commercial floors should be stripped and waxed every 6 to 12 months, depending on foot traffic and the type of space.

Retail and office buildings: every 6 months
Schools or healthcare facilities: every 4–6 months
Light-use areas: once a year may be enough

Between full services, burnishing (high-speed polishing) can be done monthly to maintain a glossy finish and extend the life of the wax coat.

4. The Benefits of Hiring Professionals

DIY floor maintenance can only go so far — professional results require the right tools, products, and experience.
