1. Commercial Waxing & Deodorizing
(For retail stores, hospitals, warehouses, and high-traffic facilities)
A. Floor Waxing Process
✔ Step-by-Step:
- Deep Stripping (For old wax buildup):
- Use autoscrubbers with diamond pads (300-800 grit)
- Apply industrial stripper (e.g., Betco Strip-Ease)
- Neutralization:
- Rinse with neutral pH cleaner to prevent wax adhesion failure
- Wax Application:
- Use commercial-grade acrylic wax (e.g., Armor Seal by Rust-Oleum)
- Apply 3-5 thin coats (cure 30 mins between coats)
- High-Speed Burnishing:
- 2000 RPM machine with tan pads for glass-like finish
✔ Frequency Guide:
| Facility Type | Refinishing Schedule |
|---|---|
| Hospitals/Schools | Every 2-3 months |
| Retail Stores | Quarterly |
| Warehouses | Semi-annually |
B. Commercial Deodorizing Systems
🔧 Equipment Used:
- HVAC-integrated: Aerus HydroxylBlaster (medical-grade air purification)
- Portable: Ozone generators (post-fire/smoke treatment)
🧴 Chemical Solutions:
- Enzymatic cleaners (for urine odors in schools/hotels)
- Chlorine dioxide fogging (for mold/mildew smells)
⚠ Critical Note:
- Always test wax compatibility with VCT/terrazzo floors
- OSHA requires proper ventilation during ozone treatment
