Professional Commercial Floor Care for Bay Area Businesses
Hard-surface commercial floors – vinyl composition tile (VCT), luxury vinyl plank (LVP), linoleum, concrete, terrazzo, and hardwood – require specialized maintenance to look their best and last as long as possible. Standard mopping keeps them clean, but it doesn’t preserve or restore their appearance.
BuffAway provides professional commercial floor care services including stripping, waxing, buffing, burnishing, scrubbing, and sealing for businesses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
Commercial Floor Care Services We Provide
Floor Stripping
Over time, layers of old wax and finish build up unevenly, trapping dirt and creating a dull, yellowed appearance. Stripping removes all existing finish down to the bare floor, creating a clean foundation for a fresh application.
Floor Waxing and Finishing
After stripping, we apply multiple coats of commercial-grade floor finish, buffing between coats to build a hard, glossy protective layer. Properly applied floor finish protects against scratches, moisture, and heavy foot traffic.
Buffing and Burnishing
High-speed burnishing restores shine to VCT and other hard floors without a full strip-and-wax. This is ideal as a mid-cycle maintenance treatment between full refinishing programs.
Scrubbing and Recoating
For floors that need more than buffing but don’t require a full strip, scrubbing removes the degraded top layers and a fresh coat of finish is applied. This extends the floor’s life and restores its appearance without the full strip process.
Concrete and Specialty Floor Care
Polished concrete, epoxy-coated floors, and terrazzo require product-specific care. We assess each floor type and apply the appropriate maintenance approach.
How Often Should Commercial Floors Be Waxed?
The right schedule depends on foot traffic and floor type. As a general guideline:
- High-traffic areas (lobbies, corridors): burnish monthly, scrub-and-recoat quarterly, strip-and-wax annually
- Medium-traffic areas (offices, break rooms): buffing quarterly, strip-and-wax every 12-18 months
- Light-traffic areas: annual maintenance program is typically sufficient
Helpful next steps for Floor Care & Polishing
If you are comparing cleaning options in San Francisco, start by defining the rooms, surfaces, schedule, and service priorities that matter most. A clear scope helps avoid vague pricing and makes the final cleaning plan easier to manage.
- List recurring tasks separately from one-time or seasonal cleaning needs.
