Other FAQs :

• Q: Could you please explain the process of stripping and sealing vinyl or linoleum floors?
• A: The vinyl strip and seal process involves the removal of the current coating or sealant from the vinyl floor, followed by resealing it. Over time, vinyl flooring can become dull and lose its shine, resulting in an aged and unappealing appearance. By performing a strip and seal procedure, the vinyl floor can be revitalized, restoring its attractive and glossy look. This process eliminates the need for expensive floor replacement and offers a cost-effective solution to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the area.
• Q: What should I expect in terms of the process when you arrive to reseal my vinyl or linoleum floors?
• A: Our professional team will guide you through each step of the job, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the process. Firstly, any previous sealer, if present, will be stripped off. Next, the vinyl or linoleum surface will undergo a thorough cleaning and neutralization process to remove dust, residue, and any other elements that may affect the new sealer. Once the surface is dry, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied and allowed to set. As a result, your newly sealed vinyl or linoleum floors will regain their appearance, receive protection, and become easier to maintain.
• Q: What measures can I take to maintain the appearance of my vinyl or linoleum floor and keep it looking new?
• A: To maintain the condition and appearance of your vinyl or linoleum floor, there are a few simple precautions you can take. Placing a doormat at entrances can help to trap dirt and debris, preventing them from being tracked onto the floor. Regularly sweeping the floor to remove loose dirt and grit is also essential, as these particles can act as abrasives and potentially scratch the surface. Additionally, promptly wiping up any spills or stains can prevent them from seeping into the floor and causing long-term damage. By implementing these basic measures, you can help preserve the longevity and fresh look of your vinyl or linoleum floor.
• Q: What is the recommended frequency for stripping and sealing my floor?
• A: Answering this question can be challenging because it relies on various factors such as frequency of use, contact with objects like trolleys, cleaning practices (sweeping, vacuuming, mopping), and the cleaning products used. Some brooms may have abrasive bristles that can potentially damage the floor. Additionally, certain chemicals can erode the floor sealer, so it's crucial to use pH-neutral floor cleaners with proper dilution rates. Even a pH-neutral cleaner can become alkaline if not diluted correctly. The number of previous sealer coats, the quality of the sealer, and the correct sealing technique employed also play a role in determining floor durability.
• Q: What are the purposes or benefits of resealing vinyl floors?
• A: Resealing vinyl floors is advised for multiple reasons. If your floors are aged, extensively scratched, or discolored, stripping away old sealers and applying a fresh, high-quality gloss finish can effectively restore their appearance. The process of resealing not only rejuvenates the look of the floors but also prolongs their lifespan. It diminishes the visibility of marks and scratches while establishing a protective barrier against dirt infiltration and abrasion. By opting for resealing, you can enhance the durability, enhance the visual appeal, and safeguard your vinyl or linoleum floors from future damage.
