Question:

floor polishing or stripping?

Our common room tile floor has kind of a dirty/worn look to it (might be grout?), and it's not really being taken care of by mopping. we're looking for an industrial-type way to clean it. what is the difference between floor stripping and polishing (and the machines involved)? and what would be better for our purposes?THANKS!

Answer:

The process of stripping a floor is to remove all the build up wax that accumulates in time . Polishing is to shine the wax that you apply to it , you can polish with a floor polisher every day if you wish to take scuff marks off and dust at the same time . I have always used paste wax when I polished my floors and stripped them down with Varsol You can purchase a floor polisher that serves dual purpouse ,it comes with felt pads for polishing and scrubby pads for stripping. You can also rent a machine for this type of job Home Depot rents them out.
