Commercial Floor Care
Floor Stripping and Waxing in Omaha, NE
Floor stripping and waxing in Omaha, NE is the periodic reset that keeps hard floors — VCT, vinyl composition tile, and similar commercial flooring — looking clean, uniform, and professional. Between resets, routine mopping only does so much: old finish yellows, scuffs accumulate at edges, high-traffic lanes dull, and the floor slowly stops reflecting the care you put into the rest of the space.
Luxe Janitorial Services performs full strip-and-wax and lighter scrub-and-recoat services for Omaha offices, medical suites, retail spaces, schools, and light-industrial facilities. We schedule around your operating hours so downtime is minimized and the floor is dry and walkable when your team returns.
What a Full Strip and Wax Includes
A true strip-and-wax removes old floor finish entirely, cleans the bare tile, and rebuilds a fresh finish in multiple thin coats. It's the highest level of restoration for a commercial hard floor and produces the most dramatic visible improvement.
- Remove all furniture, mats, and obstacles from the work area
- Apply commercial stripper and machine-scrub the floor to bare surface
- Neutralize and rinse; remove all residue from edges and corners
- Apply 3–5 thin coats of commercial-grade floor finish with dry time between coats
- Detail edges, corners, and transitions by hand for a uniform appearance
- Reset furniture and confirm walkable dry time before turnover
Scrub-and-Recoat vs. Full Strip
A scrub-and-recoat is a lighter maintenance service: rather than stripping all the finish, we deep-clean the surface and add one or two new coats on top. It's faster, less disruptive, and appropriate when the underlying finish is still in reasonable shape.
Most Omaha buildings do best on a rhythm that mixes both — full strip once every 12 to 24 months depending on traffic, with a scrub-and-recoat in between. During the walk-through we'll recommend a realistic schedule for your floors.
Scheduling to Minimize Downtime
Floor work needs dry time. For most buildings that means overnight, over a weekend, or during a scheduled closure. We coordinate carefully with your team so the floor is walkable well before you reopen.
For phased projects — larger buildings that can't shut everything down at once — we section the work, cone off the active area, and rotate through the space over multiple nights.
Which Floors We Service
We work on VCT, vinyl composition tile, standard vinyl, and most sealed commercial hard flooring commonly found in Omaha offices, medical spaces, break rooms, retail, and schools. We don't offer carpet cleaning; if your building has carpet, we'll focus the scope on the hard-surface areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does floor stripping and waxing cost in Omaha?
Pricing is by square footage, floor condition, and whether you need a full strip-and-wax or a scrub-and-recoat. Most projects are quoted after a quick walk-through so the estimate matches what your floors actually need.
How often should commercial floors be stripped and waxed?
Most Omaha buildings do a full strip and wax every 12 to 24 months, with a scrub-and-recoat mid-cycle. High-traffic spaces like entrances and corridors may need more frequent attention.
How long does the process take?
A typical mid-size office or suite is completed overnight or across a weekend. Larger buildings are usually phased so business isn't disrupted.
How long before we can walk on the floor?
Standard commercial finish is walkable within a few hours and fully cured within 24 to 48 hours. We schedule the work so the walkable window lines up with your reopen.
Will you move furniture for us?
We handle general office furniture, mats, and light fixtures. Heavy equipment, sensitive electronics, and secured items need to be handled by your team ahead of the appointment.
Do you offer floor stripping without waxing?
Yes, but it's uncommon — bare VCT is porous and stains quickly, so a fresh finish is almost always the right call after a strip.
