Tile Stripping & Resealing Services

Give worn, dull tile floors a fresh start with professional tile stripping from Tile Cleaners. We remove old wax buildup, failing coatings, and embedded residue, then prepare your floor for resealing so it looks and performs like new.

What is Tile Stripping and Why is it Important?

Tile stripping is a deep-restoration process that removes old wax, worn topical coatings, and years of trapped dirt from the surface of a tile floor. Over time, repeated coats of wax build up unevenly, trapping grime beneath each layer and leaving floors looking yellowed, cloudy, or dull no matter how often they’re mopped.

Not every tile floor needs stripping. The right approach depends on whether the floor was originally waxed or coated, how many layers have built up, and the tile’s current condition. Our technicians assess the existing finish before recommending stripping, so you’re not paying for a process your floor doesn’t need.

Stripping also creates the ideal foundation for what comes next. By clearing away old, failing coatings, it allows a new sealer or finish to bond properly with the tile, extending how long that protection lasts and helping the floor’s true color and texture show through again.

How We Perform Tile Stripping?

All the soil and grime is removed with a buffer or a scrubber. Buffer is utilized to remove the build-up of dirt and existing wax from the tile floors. We either mop or vacuum the wax and grime and the process is repeated until the floor is completely free from all the wax. Floor is then rinsed to remove the grime. Then the floor is dried and wax is applied in coats. The number of coats required to make floor shine like a new one is determined by the condition of the floor. Lastly, the floor is polished with a high-speed buffer.

Our Tile Stripping Process

Stripping a tile floor properly takes more than running a buffer over the surface once. Our team follows a consistent process so old coatings are fully removed and the floor is ready for long-lasting protection.

Floor Inspection

We assess the tile type, the existing wax or coating, and the number of built-up layers before selecting a stripping solution.

Coating Removal

A commercial-grade stripping solution and buffer or scrubber lift old wax, sealant, and embedded grime from the tile.

Rinse & Dry

The floor is thoroughly rinsed to clear away loosened residue, then dried completely before any new product is applied.

Reseal & Polish

A fresh sealer or finish is applied and buffed to a consistent shine, protecting the newly stripped surface going forward.

Types of Tile We Strip

Different tile and stone materials hold wax and coatings differently, so the stripping solution and technique need to match the surface. Our technicians are experienced across a wide range of flooring materials.

How Tile Stripping Restores Your Floors

Removing old wax and worn coatings does more than improve appearance. It resets the surface so future cleaning, sealing, and maintenance work the way they’re supposed to.

Key Benefits:

  • Removes built-up residue: Clears away layers of old wax, grime, and failing coatings that mopping alone can't touch.
  • Eliminates dullness and yellowing: Reveals the tile's true color and finish underneath aged, discolored coatings.
  • Prepares the surface for resealing: Gives a new sealer or finish a clean surface to properly bond with.
  • Improves floor safety: Reduces the slippery, uneven feel that comes from worn or inconsistent wax buildup.
  • Extends floor life: Regular stripping and resealing helps protect tile from long-term wear and premature aging.

Where Tile Stripping Delivers the Biggest Results?

Wax buildup and coating wear tend to show up fastest in spaces with heavy foot traffic or frequent cleaning cycles. These are the areas where stripping makes the most noticeable difference.

Entryways & Hallways

High-traffic paths accumulate the most wax buildup and grime, making them prime candidates for stripping.

Kitchens

Grease, food spills, and frequent mopping can cause uneven wax buildup that stripping fully resets.

Retail & Office Spaces

Constant foot traffic wears down floor finishes quickly, making periodic stripping part of routine upkeep.

Healthcare Facilities

Consistently clean, well-maintained flooring is essential in medical and care environments.

Restaurants & Hospitality

Kitchens, dining areas, and lobbies see heavy use that benefits from regular stripping and resealing.

Multi-Family Areas

Shared hallways and lobbies in apartment buildings often need periodic stripping to stay presentable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tile stripping is a deep-restoration process that removes old wax, worn coatings, and embedded residue from tile floors. It’s important because built-up layers trap dirt, yellow over time, and hide the tile’s natural finish, so stripping resets the surface before a new coating or sealer is applied.

This depends on foot traffic, the type of coating used, and how the floor is maintained day to day. High-traffic commercial floors often need stripping more frequently than lower-traffic residential areas.

Stripping removes the old wax or coating layer along with dirt and residue trapped within it, which often improves the appearance of surface-level discoloration. Stains that have penetrated deep into the tile or grout may need additional treatment.

Stripping is designed to reveal your tile’s original finish by removing built-up wax and grime, not to alter the tile itself. Most customers see a noticeably brighter, more even surface once old coatings are removed.

Timing depends on the size of the area, the thickness of the existing coating, and the tile’s condition. Our team provides an estimated timeframe after inspecting your floor.

Yes. We provide tile stripping and resealing for homes as well as offices, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial properties.
