Using our specialized floor cleaning system, we apply a pH-balanced cleaner formulated specifically for vinyl surfaces that loosens embedded dirt and residues.

For best results and to maintain your floor’s appearance and longevity, we recommend professional cleaning:
Regular mopping often leaves residue behind and can’t reach deeply embedded soil in textured surfaces and grout lines. Our professional equipment uses appropriate pressure, specialized cleaning solutions, and powerful extraction to remove built-up grime that regular maintenance misses.
No, our cleaning process is specifically designed to be safe for all types of vinyl flooring, including high-end luxury vinyl products. We adjust our cleaning pressure, solution strength, and techniques based on your specific flooring type to ensure thorough cleaning without damage.
For residential vinyl cleaning, you can walk on your floors with clean shoes almost immediately after the cleaning process. If a protective finish is applied, we recommend light traffic only for 1-2 hours.
For commercial VCT strip and wax services, drying times between coats vary, but most floors can receive light foot traffic within 6-8 hours after the final coat, with furniture replacement after 24 hours.
Yes, we use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions specifically formulated for vinyl floors. These solutions are safe for your entire family, including children and pets, while still being effective at removing built-up dirt and grime.
Most commercial environments benefit from complete stripping and waxing annually, with quarterly scrub and recoat maintenance in between. However, this varies greatly depending on foot traffic, maintenance practices, and desired appearance. We can assess your specific needs and recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule.
Our cleaning process dramatically improves your floor’s appearance but won’t remove scratches that have penetrated the wear layer. Minor surface scratches may be less noticeable after cleaning and the application of a protective finish, but significant damage may require plank replacement.
Generally, yes. Today’s residential vinyl products, especially luxury vinyl plank and tile, have factory-applied wear layers that should not be waxed. We use appropriate protectants designed specifically for residential vinyl that enhance appearance without compromising the manufacturer’s finish.
Scrub and recoat is a maintenance procedure that removes only the top layer of finish along with embedded dirt and scuffs, then applies new layers of finish. It’s faster, less expensive, and less disruptive than complete stripping, but can only be performed if the floor hasn’t worn down to the bare tile and the existing finish is in relatively good condition.
Since 1983, we’ve transformed thousands of vinyl and VCT floors throughout Winnetka, bringing soiled, dull surfaces back to their original shine and beauty. Customers are repeatedly astonished by how our professional cleaning process reveals the genuine characteristics of their vinyl flooring that had been hidden by surface grime and improper cleaning products.
