AFC has built a solid reputation for service excellence for all our clients’ needs. Your flooring is integral to the safety and appearance of your facility so it’s important to keep them clean, attractive, ad well maintained. By offering regular cleaning and maintenance, we can help your property look great and continue making good first impressions. We are specialists in VCT maintenance and offer first-rate, top-quality stripping and waxing services.
VCT is a porous material and can become permanently discolored due to the presence of ground in dirt, dust, and other particulate matter. To prevent this, entry mats can be put down around interior doors. This will catch up to 75% of the dirt that gets tracked into your property every day! Dust mopping on a regular basis also prevents dirt from becoming embedded into the flooring finish.
For proper day-to-day maintenance of VCT, it is recommended that you sweep and mop the flooring daily. Mopping should be performed with cold water and a neutral cleaner, since hot water on a VCT floor can cause the wax to begin peeling. Harsh chemicals can damage the finish and should never be used.
A Strip and wax is necessary when the old floor finish has been worn down over time. A stripper solution is used to emulsify the old finish from the tile, and a powerful buffer brought to bear to remove the finish completely. The floor is then neutralized with cold water to seal the pores in the surface. The last step in the process is to lay down 3 or 4 coats of premium floor finish.
VCT flooring should be stripped and waxed every year, and scrubs and recoats can be performed in the absence of stripping and waxing about every six months.
