Our Professional Floor Stripping and Waxing Process
- Floor Cleaning: We remove dust, dirt, and residue to ensure a clean surface before starting the stripping and waxing process.
- Floor Stripping: Using professional-grade equipment, we remove all layers of old wax and buildup to expose the clean base surface.
- Neutralization: The floor is neutralized with a balanced water rinse to restore pH and prepare it for sealing.
- Sealing: A sealant is applied to smooth the surface and enhance wax adhesion.
- Waxing: Multiple coats of high-quality, odorless wax are applied for a brilliant “Wet Look” finish.
- Drying and Buffing: The wax is allowed to dry completely and then polished for a long-lasting shine.
After stripping and waxing, your floors will be bright, smooth, and easy to maintain.
High-traffic areas such as offices, retail stores, restaurants, and lobbies may require more frequent maintenance to preserve their glossy appearance.
Our certified method
The 5-Step Stripping & Waxing Process: Mirror Finish Guaranteed
Every step is essential — skipping one compromises wax adhesion and the long-term durability of the final result.
Pre-Cleaning & Inspection
Full HEPA vacuuming to remove all loose particles. Visual and pH-meter inspection to identify areas of heavy wax buildup. Priority treatment zones are mapped before work begins.
Chemical & Mechanical Stripping
Application of a high-pH industrial stripper left in contact for the recommended dwell time. Mechanical agitation with a rotary floor machine fitted with abrasive pads graded to your specific surface. Complete removal of all old wax layers, residue and deposits.
Neutralization & Rinsing
Thorough rinsing with clean water to extract the stripper and all residues. A neutralizer is then applied to balance the surface pH — a critical step to ensure optimal wax adhesion and prevent undesired chemical reactions in subsequent coats.
Sealer & Wax Coat Application
Depending on the surface type and required protection level, a penetrating sealer is applied followed by 3 to 6 coats of high-performance acrylic-based finish — odourless, abrasion-resistant and water-repellent. Each coat is allowed to dry completely before the next is applied for optimal layering.
High-Speed Burnishing & Final Inspection
High-speed burnishing activates the resin and develops the signature wet-look mirror finish. Final inspection under raking light to catch any irregularity. On-the-spot touch-ups if needed. Your floor is returned spotless and ready for immediate use.

Why invest in maintenance
6 Reasons to Strip & Wax Your Floors on a Regular Schedule
💰 Long-term cost savings
Regular stripping and re-waxing extends your floor lifespan by 5 to 15 years, preventing the costly replacement of VCT or vinyl surfaces that are still structurally sound under degraded wax.
✨ Impeccable professional image
Gleaming floors instantly signal care and professionalism. Your clients’ or patients’ first visual impression forms the moment they step through your door — floors are the largest surface in any room.
🛡️ Abrasion protection
The wax coat acts as a sacrificial shield, it absorbs wear from foot traffic, carts and high heels instead of your actual floor surface. Easy to replace. Your floor beneath is not.
🧹 Simplified daily maintenance
A well-waxed floor repels dirt and resists liquids. Daily damp mopping becomes significantly faster and more effective, a real time-saver for your janitorial team on every shift.
⚕️ Hygiene compliance
In regulated environments — clinics, daycares, restaurants, properly treated floors facilitate disinfection and reduce cross-contamination risk. Supports MAPAQ and INSPQ compliance requirements.
Our strippers and wax finishes are formulated without high-VOC solvents or phenols, compliant with Quebec environmental standards — safe for your employees, clients and indoor air quality.
What they say about us
Client Testimonials — Laval & North Shore
“Our VCT floors at the dental clinic in Chomedey looked brand new after The Montreal Cleaners came in. The work was done on a Saturday evening — by Monday morning our patients noticed nothing except that the floor was gleaming. Perfect result and punctuality.”
Dr. Martin Beauchamp — Dental Clinic, Chomedey, Laval
“We manage an industrial park in Blainville with several tenants. The Montreal Cleaners now comes every quarter for stripping and waxing of the common hallways. Results are consistent, the teams are discreet and respectful of tenants. We recommend them without hesitation.”
Pascal Desrochers — Building Manager, Blainville
“Our daycare in Terrebonne had linoleum floors that hadn’t been stripped in three years. The team did the full treatment overnight. The next morning, staff and parents were astonished — it looked like we had replaced the entire floor. Excellent investment.”
Sylvie Langevin — Director, Daycare Les Petits Explorateurs, Terrebonne
Professional advice
How to Care for Your Floors Between Strips
A professional strip-and-wax is an investment — extending it requires a few good daily habits:
🧹 Vacuum or dust-mop daily
Sand and grit are the wax finish’s worst enemy — they abrade the coating with every footstep.
💧 Damp-mop — not wet-mop
Excess water can seep under the wax and create white hazing patches that are difficult to remove without re-stripping.
🚫 Avoid acidic detergents
Some commercial multi-surface cleaners contain agents that degrade wax prematurely. Use only neutral pH-7 products for routine floor washing.
✨ Quarterly spray buffing recommended
A light high-speed buff every 3 months significantly extends your floor’s shine and pushes the next full strip much further out.
