Strip and wax, scrub and recoat, interim buffing, and daily maintenance programs for VCT, LVT, polished concrete, and carpet.
Hard floors are the highest-visible surface in most commercial facilities and the most expensive to repair when neglected. Saint Paul's climate adds an annual variable that doesn't apply everywhere: winter salt, tracked in from November through March, attacks finish coatings and concrete sealers at a rate most maintenance schedules don't account for.
Our floor care programs for Saint Paul buildings are built around the actual conditions your floors face — not a generic strip-and-wax cycle copied from a warmer market.
| Service | Frequency | Floor types |
|---|---|---|
| Strip and wax (full) | 1–2× per year | VCT, LVT, composition tile |
| Scrub and recoat | Quarterly or as needed | VCT, LVT, sealed concrete |
| High-speed buffing / burnishing | Monthly or as part of nightly | VCT, LVT |
| Interim scrub | Monthly | All hard surfaces |
| Daily dust mopping | Nightly | All hard surfaces |
| Carpet extraction | Quarterly or annually | Cut pile, loop pile |
| Carpet interim clean | Monthly | High-traffic lanes |
| Grout cleaning | Annually or as needed | Ceramic, porcelain tile |
Road and sidewalk salt is the most common cause of premature finish failure in Twin Cities commercial buildings. Calcium chloride and sodium chloride both penetrate finish coatings on contact, and standard mops spread rather than remove them. We plan a pre-winter scrub-and-recoat for most Saint Paul floors in October, and a post-winter interim clean in April when the last salt load has been tracked in and dried. Buildings that follow this schedule typically go two full years between full strip-and-wax cycles.
Floor care in Saint Paul is priced per square foot, per service. Strip-and-wax rates depend on the number of coats, drying time required, and whether furniture must be moved. We quote floor care separately from nightly cleaning — some customers use us for floors only; most add floor care as a scheduled supplement to their nightly program. Rates are included in your written quote.
We walk the floors with you before quoting. No obligation, no pressure.
