I do floors at work.. this floor was terrible and you made it look brand new. This kinda stuff is satisfying to watch for me cause of my job lol great work!
If I get that janitorial position at Schnucks, stripping, polishing, and glossing floors will definitely be part of my duties so it's good to get a tutorial/visual beforehand.
It seems so simple but I think its paying attention to detail. Great video
What if you don't have an automatic scrubber? What can you use instead?
could you please tell us what brand you use for the stripper and wax and where to buy it?
What kind of auto scrubber are you using?
After you Strip it and clean it do you seal it before you wax or and do you use neautral ph cleaner before wax or after
It's been a few decades since I've done this, but if I remember correctly, isn't there a 'burning the wax into the floor' step with a buffer pad?
That is correct, I have a Commercial Cleaning Business in Texas and we have done this type of works many times. It is a time saver and safer for the finish to Burnish the floor once the finish is completely dry. However, what they did in the video is wait for 24 hours, which is safe for the finish as well. The reason why we burnish the finish once is dry is because is time saver for a business and for employees as well. Most importantly, it prevents the heavy furniture to stick to the finish and damage what you have done...Some people use this method of waiting time for 24 hours and is not wrong, this method is coming from somewhere. What i know is that sometimes, depending on the area were you live or just depending on the weather, the floor just don't want to dry as fast as we want to and this is because sometimes there is humidity in the building or underneath the floor, specially if its is a rainy day or even worse, a rainy cold day...

fantastic job Atlas ! just curious as to the brand of finish and stripper used, thanks
Thanks Pat. We used Johnson Diversy One Pass Low Odor Stripper. The floor wax was also a Johnson Diversy product but I can't remember the exact name. Hope this helps.
Perfect thank you I do floors too and I use buckeye rip saw and castle guard and 1st down
thank you again for the reply and the help
weird question. what kind of shoes do u guys wear? i work at a school and we are finishing up summer cleaning. and im having to do alot of stripping and waxxing.
We were wearing Non-slip Gore-Tex shoes. Another trick you can try is putting an old pair of socks over the shoes you're wearing. It will ruin the socks but you won't slip. It's an old fishing trip. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How can I do this is a kitchen and bathroom? Are there smaller machines I could use? Also what kind of wax did you use?
I would like to know as well
can I use this for my housekeeping class that im teaching? :)
Thanks for the comment lifeoflivy. What type of housekeeping class will you be teaching?
its a minor subject. specifically the floor stripping. :)
+lifeoflivy no worries. We would love for you to share this video tutorial with your class.
I just started a cleaning business and am thinking of offering this service but i dont know how much to charge per sq ft,
what is the recommended charge?
and what is the recommended cleaning schedule for retail?
I know it might depend on how much traffic the place might get.
Thanks for reaching out Jose. We typically price this service between $0.20 and $0.40 per square foot. As for the recommended cleaning schedule, we recommend a strip and refinish 1x per year and high speed buffing on a quarterly or bi-annual schedule. Hope this helps.
Atlas Cleaning Solutions do you charge supplies and equipment charges as well as the going rate per sq. ft.?
Robert Esparza. Did you start offering stripping and waxing?
I would charge $.25 sq ft... if u buy sealer & wax mixed already in the jug u saved a lot of time and product
lmao this music is way to intense for this tutorial
Lmao
Loool
Lmfao
No it’s just right!
does it need to apply floor sealer before applying wax ?
I need to know the same thing did you find out
How long did this whole process take?
About 10 hours
@@wtfamidoingtoday5092 great job!

Do u need sealer first b4 wax?

Wish there was another way to remove it without using a strip machine because dat crap COST to rent or buy 😫😭
I applied for a custodian job that requires me to wax, and I know nothing about waxing lol
R Villegas I did the same about a year ago I just learned from trying it out let’s just say I made a decent amount of holes in the base board with the stripping machine haha but I’m still here it ain’t to bad
Good job
That floor looked way better at the end.
Wow... Nice, nice..

@@PrinzeSantana sir at this day and age, how much ate you charging per sq foot? We are almost finished with a day care of about 25 rooms at $12/hr, I cant take it anymore
@@PrinzeSantana i feel like a should be making a lot more
That’s not enough wax it’ll be down to bare tile and all marked up real soon a floor for a company like that needs 8-10 and that looks like a dull shiny it don’t have a real reflective shine
What if you don't have an automatic scrubber? What can you use instead?
How do you guys dispose the strip/old wax residue after you vacuum it?
pour it out then rinse out with vinegar
