Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I have my vinyl/lion floors buffed? - Polishing Natural Stone | Polishing Vinyl Floors

• A: Over time, vinyl floors lose their sheen due to built up dirt and grime. Abrasion due to heels under footwear or rollers under chairs cause scratches and fine cuts on the sealed layers of your vinyl floors. These scratches and cuts act as cavities, attracting fine dirt particles to settle between them. High speed buffing can normally remove fine scratches and built up dirt so that floors return to a sparking shine. After we strip, clean and seal your vinyl floor it will be pristine. The vinyl has probably lost some of its gloss and developed some tiny scratches on the surface so buffing will make it look smoother and shinier. The smooth shiny floor will be easier to keep clean with just water or a mild cleaning solution for suture cleaning. You won't need to re-buff for a while and they will be looking the best they possible can.

• A: Yes we buff floors so special occasions often and it happens to be one of our specialties. If it's a wedding or a party we will have your floors looking shiny and new for your special day or night.
• Q: What is polish?
• A: "Polish" is a substance that is applied to a surface to protect it and enhance its appearance. So for porous floors, the polish is applied on top of the seal, to give your floor its shine - and to protect the seal! The idea is that polish can be reapplied and maintained fairly easily, leaving the seal in place to protect the floor surface.
• Q: How many layers of polish will you apply?
• A: A freshly stripped floor requires that a minimum of 3 layers of polish for acceptable gloss and surface protection.
• Q: What is vinyl/lino floor polishing?
• A: The term "polish" can be used to describe different services by different companies, however when it comes to vinyl floor "polishing" is just another way of saying sealing and buffing.
• Q: How often should polish be applied to my vinyl/lino floor?
• A: The polish is the uppermost layer of your vinyl or linoleum flooring that prevents dirt and liquids from penetrating and staining the floor. It should be reapplied regularly. While some companies recommend that this be done once or twice per year, others once every several damp cleanings and the rest as the appearance dictates, the truth is it should be done periodically, at least twice a year.
