Professional tile stripping removes years of yellowed wax, old polish, and failed sealants from VCT, ceramic, porcelain and commercial tile floors in Kingston. We strip down to the original surface, removing trapped dirt and buildup that regular mopping can't touch. Essential before applying new protective coatings or restoring shine to high-traffic commercial and residential floors.

Why You Need Tile Stripping Services

Over time, tile surfaces—especially those in high-traffic areas—get coated with layers of wax, polish, or sealants that begin to yellow, peel, or trap dirt. These coatings, once applied to protect and add shine, eventually create the opposite effect: a dull, sticky, and uneven finish. Regular mopping can’t fix this. What you need is a complete strip-down and reset.

According to industry flooring reports, over 40% of complaints about dirty or “uncleanable” tile floors stem from buildup of old sealers and finishes, not the tile itself. In Jamaica’s humid climate, this buildup can also attract mold and grime faster—especially in commercial spaces like offices, clinics, and schools.

Tile stripping removes all old layers of finish and gives your floor a fresh surface ready for polishing or resealing. If your floor looks worn, patchy, or has lost its shine completely, this service is the reset button it needs.

Reasons for Tile Stripping Service

1. Peeling or Discolored Wax Coating

Old polish layers can yellow or lift, creating a patchy, uneven surface that looks dirty even when freshly mopped.

2. Trapped Dirt and Grime

Layered coatings can trap dirt and stains beneath them. Stripping removes buildup and reveals the original tile underneath.

3. Preparing for New Finish or Sealer

Before reapplying a fresh finish, the old one must be completely removed for proper adhesion and shine.

4. Slippery or Sticky Surfaces

Worn or over-applied wax makes floors slippery or tacky—posing a safety risk in both homes and businesses.

5. Restoring High-Traffic Commercial Floors

Office buildings, restaurants, and clinics benefit from routine stripping to maintain a clean, professional appearance.

Why You Need Us for Tile Stripping

1. Safe and Controlled Stripping Methods

We use commercial-grade, non-damaging stripping agents designed for your specific tile type, avoiding scratches or corrosion.

2. Complete Finish Removal

Unlike light cleaning, our stripping process penetrates and lifts all layers of wax or polish, down to the original tile.

3. Ready for Re-Coating

After stripping, we leave the surface clean, smooth, and prepped for sealing or waxing—giving your floor a fresh, long-lasting foundation.

How We Do Tile Stripping

We begin with an on-site assessment to determine the type of tile and the kind of coating present. Then we apply a professional-grade stripping solution tailored to the surface—soft enough to protect your tile, but strong enough to lift years of buildup.

Our technicians use rotary floor machines with safe stripping pads to agitate the surface and remove all wax, sealant, or finish. We then extract the residue, rinse the floor thoroughly, and neutralize the pH to prepare it for future finishing. The result: a clean, raw tile surface that’s ready to shine again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is tile stripping?
A: Tile stripping is the process of removing old layers of wax, sealer, or polish from tile floors to restore their original surface.

Q: Do I need this if my floors look dull?
A: Yes, especially if you’ve tried cleaning but they still look dirty or uneven—this usually means old coatings are to blame.

Q: Will this damage my tile?
A: No. We use pH-balanced, tile-safe stripping solutions and gentle machinery to avoid damage while fully removing buildup.

Q: How often should tile be stripped?
A: For commercial spaces, every 6–12 months is ideal. For homes, it depends on foot traffic and whether wax or sealers were used.

Q: Can this remove sticky or greasy buildup?
A: Absolutely. Stripping removes sticky residues trapped in old finishes, leaving the tile fresh and clean.

Q: Can I mop afterward like normal?
A: Yes. After stripping and drying, the floor can be cleaned and maintained like new.

Q: Should I reseal the floor after stripping?
A: We recommend it. A fresh coat of sealer or wax protects your tile and enhances its appearance.

Q: Is this safe for schools, clinics, or restaurants?
A: Yes. Our products are non-toxic and safe for sensitive environments once fully dried.

Q: How long does it take to dry?
A: Floors are typically dry within 1–2 hours. If resealing, we allow additional time for proper curing.

Q: Will this remove deep stains?
A: It can remove many surface stains trapped in coatings, but permanent stains in the tile itself may require additional treatment.
