Stripping and waxing floors is a service that many cleaning companies provide, but not all are doing it productively and safely enough to maximize profit on the job. If you want to provide floor-care services, you need to make sure your employees are following the procedures you set for them. Here are some preparation tips for stripping and waxing floors:
Start with a standard equipment checklist. All your stripping and waxing tools and equipment should be kept separate from other cleaning equipment. We suggest keeping tools and chemicals in a heavy-duty tote. Keep a laminated checklist of required equipment in the tote so you or your employees can go through the list when preparing for a job to make sure nothing is missing. There is nothing more frustrating than getting to the job site only to find that your putty knife or some other important piece of equipment is missing!
Measure chemicals according to manufacturer's instructions. Read the label to make sure all chemicals are being diluted properly. Employees who don't follow directions and use the "glug-glug" method of measuring are taking risks with the floor they're working on and their own safety.
Transport all needed equipment and tools. Running back and forth to the area being stripped is a waste of time and productivity, so make sure everything you need is close at hand.
Set up temporary barriers. Use yellow tape or rope to block the area. Floors that are being stripped and waxed are slippery, so keeping the area blocked off helps to prevent slip/fall accidents.
