Scrubbing & Wax

One of the most common questions we hear from facility managers and property owners across South Florida is whether they need a full strip and wax or if a scrub and recoat will do the job. Understanding the difference saves you money and ensures you get the right service for your floor's current condition.

Choose Scrubbing and Wax When:
- Your floor finish is still intact but has lost its shine and looks dull or scuffed
- There are surface-level scratches and wear marks but no deep damage
- The existing wax has not turned yellow, is not peeling, and has no heavy buildup along edges
- It has been 3–6 months since the last full strip and wax or the last scrub and recoat
- You want to maintain your floors proactively between major restoration cycles
- Budget is a consideration: scrub and recoat at $0.60–$1.50/sqft is more affordable than a full strip at $0.85–$1.80/sqft

Choose Stripping and Waxing When:
- The floor finish has turned yellow, is peeling, flaking, or powdering
- There is heavy wax buildup along edges and in corners
- Black scuff marks are embedded deep into multiple wax layers
- The floor hasn't been properly maintained in over a year
- You're preparing for a lease inspection, tenant turnover, or grand reopening
- Scrub-and-recoat attempts no longer produce satisfactory results

The Smart Maintenance Strategy: The most cost-effective approach for commercial floors in South Florida is to combine periodic scrub-and-recoat service (every 3–6 months) with a full strip and wax once every 12–18 months. This maintenance cycle keeps your floors looking professional year-round while minimizing total annual floor care costs. Many of our clients in office parks along the I-95 corridor from Miami to Boca Raton, medical plazas in Weston and Coral Springs, and retail centers in Aventura and Pembroke Pines follow this exact maintenance schedule.

During your free on-site assessment, our floor care specialists will honestly evaluate your floors and recommend the appropriate service. If a scrub and recoat will achieve the results you need, we'll tell you. We'd rather earn your trust for the long term than upsell you a service you don't need. That integrity is why property managers throughout the tri-county area rely on MB Clean Solutions as their trusted floor care partner.

Scrub-and-recoat might sound like a straightforward service, but the results vary dramatically depending on who performs it. A rushed or improperly executed scrub and recoat can leave wax peeling within weeks, create an uneven finish, or trap dirt under the new coats. At MB Clean Solutions, we treat every scrub-and-recoat project with the same professionalism and attention to detail as our full strip-and-wax service.

The Affordable Floor Maintenance Solution: At $0.60–$1.50 per square foot, scrubbing and wax is the most cost-effective way to maintain your commercial floors between full restoration cycles. For a 10,000 square foot office, that's as little as $6,000 to make your floors look dramatically better, compared to $8,500–$18,000 for a full strip and wax. Smart property managers across South Florida use regular scrub-and-recoat service to extend the time between expensive strip-and-wax projects, saving thousands of dollars annually.

South Florida Floor Care Expertise: We understand how South Florida's unique climate affects floor finishes. The constant humidity, salt air blowing in from the coast, sand tracked in from Dania Beach to Palm Beach, and intense sun exposure through glass facades all accelerate finish degradation. We select products and techniques specifically suited to these conditions, from humidity-resistant finish formulations to accelerated drying protocols using commercial air movers.

Consistent, Reliable Results: Our team follows the same systematic process on every scrub-and-recoat project. There are no shortcuts, no skipped steps, and no "good enough" compromises. We scrub thoroughly, rinse properly, allow full dry time between coats, and inspect meticulously. This consistency is why building managers from Homestead to Jupiter choose MB Clean Solutions for their ongoing floor maintenance.

Flexible Scheduling: We perform scrub-and-recoat service after hours, overnight, and on weekends. Since this service is faster than a full strip and wax, most spaces can be completed in a single evening or overnight shift, so the disruption to your operations is minimal. We frequently complete scrub-and-recoat projects on Friday night for offices that need floors ready by Monday morning.

Locally Owned and Accountable: When you call MB Clean Solutions, you're talking to the owners, not a call center. We personally oversee every project, respond quickly to your needs, and stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Our SBE and WOSB certifications provide additional credibility for organizations with vendor qualification requirements.
