Request a ConsultationFloor Care Programs Overview
Flooring represents a significant facility investment. Floors experience daily wear, traffic damage, soil accumulation, and slip hazards. Professional floor care programs preserve appearance, ensure safety, and extend floor life—protecting your asset investment while maintaining a professional environment.
Floor care goes beyond cleaning. It requires expertise, proper techniques, specialized equipment, and preventive maintenance protocols. Improper care accelerates deterioration, creates safety hazards, and increases replacement costs. Professional floor care extends floor life by 50-70%, reduces liability risk, and maintains facility presentation.
Independent Janitorial Services brings floor care specialization, documented protocols, and executive oversight to floor maintenance. We assess your flooring types, traffic patterns, and operational priorities—then design customized programs that maximize appearance, safety, and asset protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should floors be stripped and waxed?
Frequency depends on floor type, traffic volume, and wear patterns. Typically, high-traffic areas need stripping 1-2 times annually, while moderate areas may only need it annually or less. We'll recommend a schedule based on your facility's specific conditions.
What's the difference between strip & wax and scrub & recoat?
Strip & wax removes old wax and applies new protective finish—more labor intensive but longer lasting. Scrub & recoat cleans existing wax and adds new protective layers—faster and more frequent. We'll recommend the best approach for your flooring and budget.
Does professional floor care prevent slipping?
Yes. Professional floor care maintains proper slip resistance through correct product selection, application techniques, and maintenance protocols. We balance appearance with safety to reduce liability risk.
How long does a strip and wax last?
Properly applied, strip and wax typically lasts 6-12 months depending on traffic volume and maintenance between services. Regular preventive maintenance extends the protective finish and maximizes the investment.
Can you work around our operational schedule?
Absolutely. We coordinate floor care during off-hours, evenings, or weekends to minimize operational disruption. Your schedule and operational needs drive our service timing.
What happens to facility areas during floor care?
We manage facility access carefully. Wet floors are clearly marked, and we coordinate with your team to minimize disruption. Most floor care happens after-hours to avoid occupancy conflicts.
