VCT Strip & Wax
Restore high-traffic vinyl tile to a gleaming, slip-resistant, glass-like finish. Strip away yellowed, scuffed wax and apply high-solids floor finishes that protect your commercial floors.
Why choose J&K for VCT Strip & Wax?
Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) is exceptionally durable, making it the go-to flooring for school hallways, hospital corridors, grocery stores, and commercial offices. However, bare vinyl tile is porous and highly susceptible to deep staining, scratch tracking, and permanent wear without a protective wax coating. Over time, daily traffic grinds dirt into the top coats of wax, and routine mopping yellow-stains the edges, leaving your floor looking dull, dingy, and unprofessional. J&K Precision Cleaning specialized teams restore VCT with absolute precision. We strip away every trace of old, yellowed acrylic finish using heavy-duty strippers and weighted scrubbing machines. The secret to our long-lasting results lies in our meticulous rinsing and neutralizing phase. If stripper residue remains, new wax will fail to bond and will peel or cloud within weeks. We rinse twice, balancing the tile's pH, before applying multiple coats of high-solids premium acrylic finish. The result is a glossy, slip-resistant finish that brightens your space, reflects light, and proves to your clients that you run a clean, professional operation.
Our step-by-step procedure.
- 01
Strip Old Finish: We apply concentrated commercial stripper and use low-speed floor scrubbers to liquefy yellowed, worn wax.
- 02
Neutralize & Rinse: We vacuum up the stripper, scrub the bare tile with clean water, and apply an acid-neutralizer to balance the pH.
- 03
Apply High-Solids Wax: We carefully apply 4 to 5 layers of professional-grade premium acrylic wax, allowing each layer to cure completely.

VCT Strip & Wax FAQs
How long does a stripped and waxed floor last?↓
In typical high-traffic commercial environments (like retail stores, medical clinics, or offices), a floor should be stripped and waxed every 1 to 2 years. Regular high-speed burnishing and damp mopping can extend this lifecycle.
How many coats of wax do you apply?↓
We apply a minimum of 4 coats, and up to 6 coats for high-volume environments. This thick solid layer absorbs scratches and scuffs, keeping your vinyl tile protected and shiny.
Do we have to shut down business during this service?↓
We offer flexible night and weekend scheduling. This allows the heavy chemical stripping and curing processes to occur outside your business hours, ensuring a beautiful, dry floor is ready when you open.
