Which VCT service does my floor need?
Match the service to the floor, not the calendar. Burnish a good finish that lost its gloss. Scrub and recoat dull, scuffed lanes. Deep scrub heavy soil. Strip and wax when the finish is yellow or flaking. A plan keeps all four on a schedule.
- Dull but sound
- Burnish or recoat
- Heavy soil

Match Your VCT to the Right Service
Most commercial VCT fits one of these four cases:
How we choose your VCT service
Send two photos
One traffic lane and one wall edge. The edge shows buildup that the lane hides.
We evaluate your floor project
We read the finish, the soil and the last service date, then name one service. You get the reason in writing.
Book the closing hours
We set zones and hours with your team. Most VCT work runs at night or on a weekend.
Service and inspect
Crews run the service and inspect each zone before it reopens. Multi-site chains get one calendar.
What each VCT service calls for
| Item | Spec |
|---|---|
| Machines | Burnish calls for a high-speed burnisher. Recoat and deep scrub call for floor machines with scrub pads. Strip calls for floor machines with strip pads and wet vacuum pickup. We set the method after we see your floor. |
| Chemistry/finish | Burnish: none added. Recoat: fresh finish coats. Strip: stripper, then four to six finish coats |
| Dust or slip control | Wet services use wet-floor signs and zone barriers; burnishing uses a dust mop first |
| Return to service | Set for each project, per the finish maker's data sheet |
| Work hours | Nights, weekends and planned shutdowns |

How Often Does Commercial VCT Need Service?
Traffic sets the schedule. What we see by building type:
Retail and grocery
Frequent burnishing, then a scrub and recoat or a strip as the finish wears in the aisles.
Schools
Busy halls need care during the year. Big strip work fits school breaks.
Offices
Lobbies and halls wear faster than workspaces, so they get service more often.
Restaurants
Grease and spills mean more cleaning and a closer eye on the finish.
Hospitals and clinics
Work is planned around patients, in sections, at night.
Every building
The finish condition sets the service, not the calendar. We check it on each visit.

VCT care questions
What is the difference between VCT and LVT?
VCT is vinyl composition tile, protected by coats of floor finish. LVT is luxury vinyl tile, which often follows the maker's own care rules. We identify the floor first, then pick the service.
How often does VCT need a full strip?
It follows the finish, not the calendar. One supplier puts busy aisles at every 3 to 6 months and quiet rooms at once a year (Okum Supply, 2025). Burnishing and recoats stretch that.
Can one plan cover stores in several states?
Yes. One scope, one calendar and one contact cover every site. Each store gets the service its floor needs, so a plan is not one strip repeated everywhere.
Do you handle static-control VCT?
Yes. Our jobs include static-control VCT strip and wax for an electronics company. Tell us the floor spec and we match the finish.
Which VCT service costs least?
A burnish costs least, then a recoat, then a deep scrub, then a strip. The right choice is the lightest service that fixes the problem. We name it after we see photos.
