Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) is a hardworking floor, perfect for busy local businesses. But over time, heavy foot traffic can leave it looking dull, scuffed, and tired. When old wax builds up, it traps dirt and makes the whole place feel worn out. At Floor Show Restoration Services, we’re here to help our fellow businesses in Mattoon and the surrounding areas. Our professional VCT floor restoration process strips away the old and applies a new, durable, high-gloss finish that makes your business shine.
Your Solution for Worn-Out Commercial Floors
You know that a clean, glossy floor is one of the first things your customers notice. It sends a message of quality and care. When your VCT floors look great, they’re an asset. But when they’re dull and dirty, they can drag down your whole look. Our floor stripping and waxing service is designed for local businesses, schools, and clinics in the Mattoon area that want to put their best foot forward.
Our Meticulous VCT Stripping and Finishing Process
A brilliant, long-lasting shine doesn’t happen by accident. It takes a careful, professional process to get it right without making a mess or damaging your baseboards. We’ve got our procedure down to a science to ensure flawless results every time.
- Preparation and Dust Mopping: We start by giving the entire floor a thorough sweep and dust-mopping to get rid of any loose dirt and debris. This lets the stripping solution do its job properly.
- Applying Professional Stripping Solution: We apply a high-quality stripping solution and let it sit for just the right amount of time. This allows it to penetrate and break down all the layers of old, built-up wax and grime.
- Machine Scrubbing: Using our low-speed floor machine and the right stripping pad for the job, we scrub the entire floor. This lifts all the old, dissolved finish and the dirt that was trapped inside it.
- Thorough Rinsing and Neutralization: Once the scrubbing is done, we use a wet vac to remove all the residue. We then give the floor a final rinse with a neutral cleaner, leaving it perfectly clean and ready for a fresh start.
- Application of Multiple Finish Coats: After the floor is completely dry, we apply several thin, even coats of a top-quality, high-solids floor finish. This builds up a deep, durable, and incredibly glossy protective layer that will stand up to your daily foot traffic.
Key Benefits of Professional VCT Floor Care
Investing in professional commercial floor finishing is an investment in your business’s success.
Enhances Your Professional Image
Nothing says “professional” like a brilliantly shining floor. It immediately elevates the look of your facility and makes a fantastic first impression on everyone who walks through your doors in the Mattoon area.
Improves Safety
Old, worn wax can be a hazard. A fresh, properly applied finish provides a uniform, slip-resistant surface, helping to keep your employees and customers safe in accordance with OSHA standards for walking-working surfaces.
Extends the Life
of Your Flooring
Think of floor wax as a shield. It takes the daily beating from foot traffic, protecting your VCT from scratches and scuffs, which helps your flooring last for years longer.
Makes Daily Cleaning Easier
A smooth, sealed surface is much easier for you or your staff to keep clean. Daily sweeping and mopping become faster and more effective, saving time and effort.

- Jill M.Frequently Asked Questions About VCT Floors
How often do my VCT floors need to be stripped and waxed?
For most businesses, we recommend a full strip and finish every 6 to 12 months. However, this really depends on your foot traffic. Busy hallways or retail stores might need it more often than a quiet office space.
How long does the process take, and when can we walk on the floors?
The time it takes depends on the size of the area. After we apply the final coat, the finish will need a few hours to cure before it's ready for light foot traffic. We always recommend letting it cure overnight before things get busy again.
Will the stripping and waxing process create strong odors?
The products we use today are much lower in odor than the old stuff. There will be a noticeable scent while we're working, but we make sure the area is well-ventilated. We're happy to schedule the service for after-hours or on a weekend to avoid any disruption.
What's the difference between stripping and just regular cleaning?
Regular mopping just cleans the surface. Stripping is a full restoration. It's the only way to remove all the old, worn-out layers of wax and the dirt that's trapped inside, bringing back that original shine and protection.
