Eagan Floor Care
Eagan commercial floors take heavy abuse from foot traffic, shopping carts, salt tracked in during winter, and rolling office chairs. Vinyl composition tile (VCT) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) need stripping, waxing, and burnishing on a regular schedule to maintain the showroom shine and protect the substrate. Patriot Building Solutions services Eagan commercial floor care across Dakota County offices, retail, schools, and medical facilities.
Eagan Commercial Floor Care Schedules
Eagan VCT floors typically need strip-and-wax once or twice per year depending on traffic. The job: remove old wax with stripper chemical, neutralize the floor, apply 4 to 5 thin coats of new wax (commercial-grade acrylic finish), and burnish to gloss. Total time on a 2000 sq ft floor is 8 to 14 hours; we do it on a Friday night so the floor is fully cured by Monday morning. Light-traffic offices may only need strip-and-wax annually; heavy-traffic retail or medical may need it every 4 to 6 months.
Burnishing keeps the wax shiny between strip-and-wax cycles. A high-speed burnisher (1500+ RPM) heat-melts the top layer of wax slightly, removing minor scuffs and restoring gloss. Eagan offices typically schedule burnishing weekly or bi-weekly between strip-and-wax cycles. Daily maintenance (sweeping or dust mopping, then damp mopping with neutral cleaner) extends the life of any wax finish significantly. Skipping daily maintenance is what forces strip-and-wax onto a 4-month cycle instead of 12.

Burnishing and Daily Maintenance
Commercial carpet care in Eagan offices runs on different cycles. Hot-water extraction (also called steam cleaning) removes dirt deeply on a 6 to 12 month schedule. Encapsulation cleaning (low-moisture, faster recovery) handles maintenance between deep cleans. Spot cleaning for spills happens as-needed. Most Eagan office carpets benefit from quarterly encapsulation plus annual hot-water extraction. We recommend the schedule based on traffic and carpet type; commercial-grade nylon carpet handles different chemicals than wool or polyester.

Israel, Founder & Marine Corps VeteranEagan Floor Care FAQ
Eagan Commercial Floor Care: How often should I strip and wax my office floor?
Light-traffic Eagan offices: once per year. Heavy-traffic offices and retail: twice per year. Medical and food service: every 4 to 6 months. Schedule depends on traffic volume and floor condition; we assess and recommend during walk-through.
Eagan Commercial Floor Care: How long does the floor have to dry?
After strip-and-wax: 2 hours for foot traffic, 24 hours for full cure (no wheeled traffic, dragging chairs, or heavy furniture during cure). After burnishing: ready immediately. After hot-water carpet extraction: 30 to 60 minutes for foot traffic in ventilated rooms.
Eagan Commercial Floor Care: Do you do LVT and luxury vinyl plank?
Yes. LVT and LVP have different cleaning requirements than VCT. We use LVT-rated finish products that won't damage the printed image layer. Some LVT manufacturers void warranty on certain wax products; we follow the manufacturer specs.
Eagan Commercial Floor Care: Concrete and polished concrete?
Yes. Polished concrete maintenance includes routine cleaning with neutral pH chemicals and periodic re-densification or re-polishing. Sealed concrete in retail and warehouse needs different products. We handle all common commercial floor types.
Eagan Commercial Floor Care: Can floor care happen during business hours?
Floor stripping requires the floor to be empty (no foot traffic, no equipment, no chairs). We schedule strip-and-wax for Friday night through Sunday morning so the floor is ready Monday. Burnishing and carpet cleaning can happen during business hours in unoccupied sections of the office.
