Keep Your Floors Looking Professional Year-Round
Your floors say more about your business than you might think. Clean, well-maintained floors create a polished, professional image that clients notice the moment they step through the door. Over time, however, even the highest-quality floors lose their shine. Dirt, scuffs, old finish, and heavy foot traffic can dull surfaces, making your facility appear neglected.
At JMK Janitorial Services, we specialize in professional floor stripping and waxing — a proven process that removes built-up layers, restores the floor’s original luster, and protects it from future damage. Whether it’s a busy office building in Seattle, a school in Kent, a medical facility in Bellevue, or a warehouse in Tacoma, our trained floor care technicians deliver flawless, long-lasting results every time.
Why Floor Strip & Wax Services Matter
Floors are among the largest visible surfaces in any facility — and one of the first things people notice. Regular cleaning is essential, but periodic stripping and waxing goes deeper to extend the lifespan of your floors and preserve their professional appearance.
Here’s why businesses across the Puget Sound rely on JMK for expert floor care:
For VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile), linoleum, and other resilient flooring types, regular strip and wax cycles are not optional – they’re essential to avoid permanent staining and costly replacements.
Our Floor Strip & Wax Process
Floor care isn’t a one-size-fits-all job. JMK’s technicians are trained to handle different floor types, finishes, and facility requirements with precision and care. Here’s a look at our proven step-by-step process:
Pre-Inspection & Preparation
Before any work begins, our team walks the entire area with you to assess the floor’s current condition, traffic patterns, existing finish thickness, and any problem spots like staining, chemical build-up, or damage.
We then prepare the space by:
- Removing furniture and obstacles
- Taping off transition areas
- Placing safety signage and corner protection
- Masking sensitive areas (e.g., baseboards, carpets, nearby walls)
Professional Stripping
Using commercial-grade floor machines and low-odor stripping solutions, we gently remove all layers of old wax, dirt, and debris down to the bare floor surface.
- Edges and corners are hand-detailed to ensure complete coverage.
- The floor is neutralized and thoroughly rinsed to remove chemical residue.
- We inspect for any remaining buildup and repeat as needed for perfection.
Floor Drying & Surface Prep
The floor must be completely dry and residue-free before wax application. We use air movers and microfiber mops to ensure a pristine, clean base – critical for achieving a smooth, even finish.
Multiple Coats of Premium Wax
We apply three to five coats of high-quality commercial floor finish, depending on your traffic levels and aesthetic goals.
- Each coat is applied evenly with professional applicators.
- Adequate drying time is given between layers for maximum durability.
- Edges are feathered to prevent buildup lines.
Final Buffing / Burnishing (Optional)
For floors requiring extra brilliance, we perform high-speed burnishing after the final coat cures. This step hardens the finish, enhances shine, and adds resistance to scuffs.
Post-Job Inspection & Walkthrough
Our supervisors perform a detailed inspection to ensure uniform coverage, smooth finish, and no missed areas. We invite you to walk through with us before signing off.
If anything is less than perfect, we fix it on the spot.

Recommended Frequency of Floor Stripping & Waxing

| Facility Type | Typical Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate Offices | Every 6–12 months | High-traffic areas may need quarterly buffing |
| Medical & Dental Offices | Every 3–6 months | Hygiene and shine standards are higher |
| Schools & Educational Facilities | 1–2 times per year | Often scheduled during summer or breaks |
| Retail & Showrooms | 2–4 times per year | Heavy traffic demands frequent care |
| Warehouses / Industrial | 1 time per year | Sealed concrete or VCT in offices |
