Professional Residential & Commercial Floor Stripping and Waxing Services
Maintaining clean, shiny, and well-protected floors is essential for creating a professional, welcoming, and hygienic environment. Over time, floor finishes can become dull, scratched, stained, or worn due to daily foot traffic, dirt, and regular cleaning. Professional floor stripping and waxing helps restore the appearance of suitable flooring, protect the surface, and extend the life of the floor.
At Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning, we provide professional floor stripping, waxing, and refinishing services for residential, commercial, and institutional properties. Our team works with different types of finished floors, using appropriate products, equipment, and techniques according to the flooring material and its condition.
Whether you manage a retail store, office building, school, daycare, condominium, or residential property, Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can help you maintain attractive, durable, and well-maintained floors.
Why Professional Floor Stripping, Waxing and Polishing Is Important
Daily cleaning removes surface dirt and helps maintain hygiene, but it does not always restore a worn protective finish. In busy environments, floors can become dull or marked even when they are cleaned regularly. Old finish may also build up unevenly, creating a cloudy appearance or making the floor more difficult to maintain.
Professional floor care addresses these problems using methods selected for the flooring material and its condition.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning helps clients restore the appearance of compatible flooring through professional stripping, waxing, polishing, and specialized surface maintenance.
Improve the Appearance of Your Floors
A properly maintained floor contributes to the overall presentation of a property. Clean, polished floors create a more welcoming impression for customers, employees, residents, visitors, and guests.
Our floor care services help improve the appearance of suitable surfaces by removing old finish where appropriate, applying fresh protective coats, or using compatible polishing techniques to enhance the finish.
Protect Suitable Floor Finishes
Protective floor finishes help reduce the effects of everyday wear on compatible flooring. As the finish gradually wears down, periodic maintenance may be needed to maintain its appearance and protective function.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning selects appropriate products and maintenance methods according to the floor type, helping clients care for their flooring more effectively.
Make Routine Cleaning Easier
Floors with a suitable, well-maintained finish can be easier to clean than surfaces covered with worn or uneven layers of residue. Professional preparation and finishing can support more manageable day-to-day maintenance.
Our team can also recommend suitable cleaning products and routines to help maintain the results after service.
Maintain a Professional Business Environment
For retail stores, offices, schools, and other commercial properties, the condition of the floor can influence how customers and visitors perceive the space.
With Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning, property managers can arrange one-time treatments or planned maintenance to help keep appropriate floor surfaces looking clean and presentable.
Support Long-Term Flooring Maintenance
Replacing flooring can be expensive and disruptive. Appropriate maintenance can help preserve suitable surfaces and reduce unnecessary wear, although the results depend on the floor material, existing damage, and maintenance history.
Professional assessment helps determine whether stripping and waxing, polishing, deep cleaning, or a different treatment is the best choice
Our Professional Floor Care Services
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning offers a range of floor care services designed for different property types and surface materials.
1. Professional Floor Stripping and Waxing
Floor stripping and waxing is a specialized maintenance process for compatible floors with removable protective finishes. Over time, the finish can become scratched, discoloured, dull, or uneven because of repeated cleaning and heavy foot traffic.
Our stripping and waxing service involves removing the old finish where necessary, preparing the surface, and applying new coats of suitable floor finish.
The process can help restore a more uniform appearance and provide a refreshed protective layer on compatible flooring.
This service is suitable for many commercial environments, including retail stores, supermarkets, offices, educational facilities, and common areas in residential buildings.
At Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning, we determine the appropriate number of coats and finishing method based on the surface condition, product specifications, and expected traffic.
2. Vinyl Floor Stripping and Waxing
Vinyl flooring is widely used because of its versatility and practical maintenance requirements. However, in high-traffic areas, vinyl floors can gradually develop scuffs, lose their shine, and accumulate layers of old floor finish.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides professional stripping and waxing for compatible vinyl surfaces, including many vinyl composition tile (VCT) floors.
Our service may include:
- Inspecting the floor and identifying the existing finish.
- Preparing the work area and protecting surrounding surfaces.
- Applying an appropriate stripping solution where required.
- Removing worn finish and accumulated residue.
- Rinsing and preparing the surface.
- Allowing the floor to dry adequately.
- Applying compatible protective coats.
- Performing suitable polishing or burnishing when requested.
The result is a refreshed floor finish that can improve the overall appearance of the space and support routine maintenance.
For busy environments such as supermarkets, retail stores, schools, and office buildings, periodic stripping and waxing can be an important part of a planned floor care program.
3. Epoxy Floor Cleaning and Polishing
Epoxy flooring is commonly used in garages, warehouses, commercial facilities, workshops, storage areas, and other spaces where durable flooring is required.
Unlike many wax-finished vinyl floors, epoxy surfaces generally require specialized cleaning and maintenance methods. Traditional stripping and waxing are not automatically appropriate for these coatings.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides suitable cleaning and polishing services for compatible epoxy surfaces. Depending on the condition of the floor, our service may help remove surface dirt, reduce residue, and improve the overall presentation of the area.
Before beginning, we assess the coating, its condition, and the maintenance requirements. We then select compatible products and equipment to avoid using a treatment that could damage or alter the surface.
If an epoxy floor requires recoating, repair, or specialized restoration beyond routine cleaning and polishing, we can discuss the requirements and determine the appropriate scope of service.
4. Concrete Floor Cleaning and Polishing
Concrete floors are commonly found in commercial buildings, garages, basements, warehouses, and industrial environments. Depending on the surface, concrete may be unfinished, sealed, coated, or mechanically polished.
Each type requires a different approach. Some surfaces benefit from deep cleaning, while others require specialized mechanical polishing or maintenance of an existing protective treatment.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides appropriate concrete floor cleaning and polishing services according to the surface condition and desired result.
Our assessment considers:
- The existing concrete finish.
- Surface dirt, residue, and visible wear.
- Whether the concrete has a sealer or coating.
- The type of finish the client wants to maintain.
- The equipment and treatment required for the project.
Concrete polishing is not the same as conventional waxing. Our team selects a method appropriate for the actual surface rather than applying a standard treatment to every floor.
5. Floor Polishing With Wax
For compatible floors with an appropriate protective finish, polishing or burnishing can help enhance gloss and improve the appearance of the surface.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning offers polishing services for suitable wax-finished floors, using appropriate equipment and pads to achieve a more uniform finish.
Depending on the floor and its condition, polishing may help reduce the visible appearance of minor scuffs and restore some of the gloss lost through everyday use.
This service can be useful for reception areas, retail stores, corridors, commercial buildings, and other spaces where floor presentation is important.
Polishing is not a substitute for stripping when the existing finish is heavily worn, contaminated, or uneven. Our team assesses the floor to determine whether polishing alone is appropriate or whether a more complete treatment is needed.
6. Floor Polishing Without Wax
Not every floor needs an additional wax coating. Certain epoxy floors, polished concrete surfaces, and other finished materials require maintenance methods that preserve their existing finish rather than adding wax.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides polishing and maintenance options without wax when suitable for the surface.
Our approach is based on the floor material, the manufacturer’s recommendations, and the result you want to achieve.
This service may be appropriate for clients who want to maintain an existing finish without adding an unnecessary layer of product. The precise process depends on whether the floor requires mechanical polishing, specialized cleaning, or another compatible maintenance treatment.
7. Next-Day Polishing After Waxing
For suitable wax-finished floors, Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning offers an additional polishing or burnishing service on the day following waxing, provided the floor finish has dried sufficiently and the manufacturer’s instructions permit it.
This additional step can help enhance the gloss, improve the uniform appearance of the finish, and refine the finished surface.
The timing is important. Polishing too early can interfere with the finish, while the correct equipment and procedure help achieve a better result.
Our team determines the appropriate timing according to the product used, drying conditions, number of coats, and manufacturer’s instructions.
Next-day polishing can be particularly useful for compatible floors in customer-facing commercial spaces where a high-gloss appearance is desired.
8. Deep Floor Cleaning and Routine Maintenance
Some floors do not require full stripping and waxing but still benefit from professional deep cleaning.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can assess the floor and recommend an appropriate maintenance service based on the surface, accumulated dirt, and existing finish.
Routine floor maintenance may include suitable floor scrubbing, residue removal, cleaning of high-traffic areas, and periodic polishing where appropriate.
Regular maintenance can help clients avoid unnecessary refinishing and maintain a consistent appearance between more intensive floor care services.
9. Customized Floor Care for Large Facilities
Large commercial properties often contain different flooring materials and areas with different maintenance needs. A retail sales floor may require a different treatment from a storage area, entrance, staff room, or loading zone.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can assess individual areas and develop a maintenance plan that reflects their use and flooring material.
This approach allows businesses and property managers to coordinate floor care according to their operating schedules, traffic levels, and budget.

Types of Floors We Service
At Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning, we evaluate each floor before selecting the appropriate treatment. Stripping and waxing are particularly suitable for many resilient floors that use a removable protective finish.
Our floor care services may include:
- Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT): Stripping old finish and applying new protective coats to restore shine.
- Vinyl Flooring: Maintaining compatible vinyl surfaces with appropriate floor finishing products.
- Linoleum Flooring: Providing suitable refinishing treatments according to the floor’s specifications.
- Other Wax-Compatible Resilient Floors: Selecting appropriate treatments based on manufacturer recommendations and surface condition.
Not every floor should be stripped or waxed. Hardwood, laminate, ceramic tile, natural stone, and certain other flooring materials generally require different cleaning or refinishing methods. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning will assess your flooring and recommend the appropriate service before work begins.
Our Floor Stripping and Waxing Methodology
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning follows a systematic process designed to achieve a consistent finish while protecting the flooring material.
Our methodology includes assessing the floor’s condition, identifying the existing finish, selecting suitable stripping and finishing products, and determining the number of protective coats required. We also consider foot traffic, the property’s operating schedule, and the time needed for the floor to dry and cure.
Our team uses professional floor machines and appropriate cleaning equipment to help ensure an effective, even, and carefully executed result.
Our Floor Stripping and Waxing Process
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning follows these essential steps:
1. Floor Inspection and Assessment
We inspect the flooring material, existing finish, wear patterns, and overall condition to determine the most appropriate treatment.
2. Area Preparation
We clear or coordinate the removal of movable items where possible, protect surrounding areas, and prepare the work zone for safe and efficient service.
3. Floor Stripping
Where suitable, we use professional equipment and compatible stripping products to remove the old protective finish and accumulated residue.
4. Rinsing and Surface Preparation
We remove stripping solution and residue, then allow the floor to dry completely before applying a new finish.
5. Waxing and Protective Finish Application
We apply appropriate floor finish in controlled, even coats, allowing the required drying time between applications.
6. Final Inspection
We inspect the completed floor for consistency, appearance, and finish quality before the area is returned to service once the product has dried and cured according to its instructions.
Customized Floor Maintenance Programs
For high-traffic environments, occasional refinishing may not be enough to maintain the desired appearance. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can help develop a customized floor maintenance program based on the type of flooring, level of traffic, operating hours, and cleaning requirements.
Depending on your needs, a maintenance plan may include regular floor cleaning, spray buffing or burnishing where appropriate, periodic recoating, and scheduled stripping and waxing when necessary.
Our goal is to help protect your flooring investment while maintaining a clean, attractive, and professional environment throughout the year.
Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Stripping, Waxing and Polishing
1. What is floor stripping and waxing?
Floor stripping and waxing is a professional floor maintenance process used on compatible flooring, such as many vinyl composition tile (VCT) floors. Stripping removes old, worn layers of floor finish and accumulated residue. After the surface is properly cleaned, rinsed, and dried, new coats of protective floor finish are applied to restore the appearance and help protect the floor from everyday wear.
At Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning, we use professional equipment and suitable products to provide floor stripping and waxing services for residential, commercial, and institutional properties.
2. What is the difference between stripping, waxing, and polishing?
Each process serves a different purpose.
Stripping: Removes old floor finish and residue from compatible flooring before refinishing.
Waxing: Applies a new protective floor finish to suitable surfaces.
Polishing: Uses appropriate equipment and methods to improve the appearance or gloss of an existing finish.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning evaluates your floor to determine whether it needs a complete stripping and waxing service or whether polishing and routine maintenance may be sufficient.
3. Which types of floors can be stripped and waxed?
Stripping and waxing is commonly suitable for vinyl composition tile (VCT) and other resilient flooring designed to receive removable floor finishes.
However, not every floor should be waxed. Epoxy, polished concrete, hardwood, laminate, ceramic tile, and natural stone may require different maintenance methods.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning assesses the flooring material and existing finish before recommending the appropriate treatment.
4. Do you provide stripping and waxing for vinyl floors?
Yes. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides professional stripping and waxing for compatible vinyl flooring, including many VCT floors.
Our service can include removing old finish, cleaning and preparing the surface, applying new protective coats, and polishing the finish when appropriate. This helps improve the appearance of suitable vinyl floors in retail stores, offices, schools, daycare centres, and other properties.
5. Can epoxy floors be stripped and waxed?
Epoxy floors generally require different maintenance methods from traditional wax-finished vinyl floors. Applying stripping chemicals or wax without checking compatibility may damage or alter the coating.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides appropriate cleaning and polishing solutions for compatible epoxy surfaces. We assess the floor and select a method that respects the existing coating and its maintenance requirements.
6. Do you provide concrete floor polishing?
Yes. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning offers suitable concrete floor cleaning and polishing services according to the surface type and condition.
Unfinished concrete, sealed concrete, coated concrete, and mechanically polished concrete require different approaches. We assess the surface before recommending a suitable service.
7. What are the benefits of professional floor stripping and waxing?
Professional stripping and waxing can help restore the appearance of compatible floors, remove worn layers of old finish, and apply a fresh protective coating.
Benefits may include a more uniform appearance, improved gloss, easier routine maintenance, and better management of everyday wear on the finish.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning selects the appropriate products and process according to the flooring material and its condition.
8. How often should floors be stripped and waxed?
The frequency depends on foot traffic, the type of floor, the existing finish, and the regular cleaning routine.
Busy retail stores, supermarkets, schools, and commercial corridors may require more frequent maintenance than lightly used residential areas. Some floors may need periodic polishing between full stripping and waxing services.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can recommend a maintenance schedule after assessing your property.
9. How many coats of wax or floor finish do you apply?
The number of coats depends on the floor’s condition, the product being used, the manufacturer’s instructions, and the desired result.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning determines the appropriate application process for each project to help achieve an even, attractive finish without unnecessary product buildup.
10. Can you polish floors without applying wax?
Yes. Some floors can be polished or maintained without adding a wax coating. The appropriate method depends on the material and its existing finish.
For example, certain epoxy and polished concrete floors require specialized maintenance rather than conventional waxing. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning assesses your floor and recommends a compatible polishing or cleaning method.
11. What is the difference between polishing and burnishing?
Polishing is a general term for improving a floor’s appearance using suitable methods and equipment. Burnishing is a higher-speed process commonly used on compatible floor finishes to enhance gloss and improve the appearance of the surface.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning selects the appropriate equipment and technique according to the floor finish and the result required.
12. Why do you offer polishing the day after waxing?
For compatible wax-finished floors, Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can provide an additional polishing or burnishing service on the following day, once the finish has dried sufficiently and the product instructions permit it.
This additional step can help enhance the gloss and improve the uniform appearance of the finish. The correct timing is important because polishing too early may interfere with the newly applied finish.
13. Does polishing after waxing make the floor shinier?
Polishing or burnishing a compatible floor finish can help improve its gloss and create a more polished appearance.
The final result depends on the finish product, application, surface condition, equipment, and maintenance practices. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can assess whether additional polishing is appropriate for your floor.
14. Does polishing after waxing make the floor more durable?
Proper burnishing may help improve the performance of certain compatible floor finishes, but it does not replace correct product application, adequate drying time, or regular maintenance.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning follows the appropriate product instructions and recommends suitable care practices to help preserve the finish.
15. How long does floor stripping and waxing take?
The duration depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing finish, the number of coats, and the required drying time.
Smaller areas may take less time, while large commercial properties may require several stages or scheduled visits. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning will discuss the expected timeline before the work begins.
16. How long should a floor dry after waxing?
Drying time depends on the product, the number of coats, temperature, humidity, ventilation, and application conditions.
The floor must remain free of traffic until it is ready for use according to the product instructions. The surface may feel dry before the finish is ready for regular traffic or additional treatment.
Our team will provide guidance on when the area can be reopened and when additional polishing may be performed.
17. Can people walk on the floor immediately after waxing?
No. Foot traffic should be restricted until the finish has dried sufficiently and the manufacturer’s reopening requirements have been met.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides instructions to help clients protect the newly finished surface and reduce the risk of marks, damage, or slipping.
18. Can you strip and wax floors during business hours?
Depending on the size and layout of the property, work may sometimes be organized in separate sections. However, each treatment area must remain closed to foot traffic until it is safe to reopen.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can discuss scheduling options, including quieter periods or after-hours work, to help minimize disruption to your business.
19. Do you provide all the necessary materials and equipment?
Yes. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides the necessary professional cleaning products, materials, and equipment for the agreed service.
Depending on the project, this may include stripping machines, floor scrubbers, polishing or burnishing machines, suitable floor pads, cleaning solutions, and compatible floor finishes.
20. Do you use environmentally friendly products?
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning uses environmentally conscious products where appropriate for the floor material and the work being performed.
Product selection also considers surface compatibility, cleaning effectiveness, application requirements, and the manufacturer’s instructions.
21. How should I maintain my floor after stripping and waxing?
After waxing, allow the finish to dry and cure according to the product instructions before reopening the area. Avoid washing the floor too soon, remove dust and grit regularly, clean spills promptly, and use compatible floor cleaning products.
Entrance mats can help reduce dirt and moisture, while suitable polishing and periodic maintenance can help preserve the finish.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can recommend a maintenance routine according to the floor type and daily traffic.
22. Why does my floor look dull even after regular cleaning?
A floor can become dull because of worn finish, accumulated residue, scratches, unsuitable cleaning products, or a maintenance method that is not compatible with the surface.
Regular cleaning does not always restore a deteriorated finish. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can inspect the floor and determine whether deep cleaning, polishing, stripping and waxing, or another treatment is appropriate.
23. Can polishing restore a badly worn floor?
Polishing may improve the appearance of a floor when the existing finish remains suitable for that treatment. However, heavily worn, uneven, or contaminated wax finishes may require stripping and refinishing.
For epoxy and concrete, the required restoration method depends on the coating and the extent of the damage. We assess the surface before recommending the service.
24. What factors affect the price of floor stripping, waxing, and polishing?
The price depends on several factors, including:
Total square footage.
Type of flooring and existing finish.
Condition of the surface.
Amount of preparation and stripping required.
Number of finish coats.
Whether polishing or next-day burnishing is included.
Furniture movement and access requirements.
Service timing and maintenance frequency.
Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning provides estimates based on the scope of work and the needs of each property.
25. Do you offer one-time services and recurring maintenance?
Yes. Entretien Étoiles Tali / Tali Stars Cleaning can provide one-time floor restoration services and discuss recurring maintenance programs for suitable residential, commercial, and institutional properties.
A planned maintenance schedule can help maintain the appearance of compatible floors and identify when polishing, refinishing, or other treatments may be needed.
