Remove old coatings in one day

We strip away built-up wax and acrylic in a single, dust-free visit—leaving your floor clean, bare, and ready for a new finish the same day.

Over time, wax and acrylic layers leave floors dull, sticky, and prone to discoloration. Our five-step process removes them without sanding:

  1. 1Inspect and test a small spot to confirm wax buildup.
  2. 2Apply a low-odor stripping solution and gently agitate along the grain—similar to the mineral-spirit method professional cleaners trust.
  3. 3Lift and remove liquefied wax with microfiber pads—no dust, no mess.
  4. 4Neutralize and mop so nothing is left behind.
  5. 5High-velocity drying so we can recoat before we leave.

The result: a bare, contamination-free surface ready for a fresh coat or our full Revival Process—today, not next week.

Signs you need wax & acrylic removal

  • Floors that have been waxed or treated with acrylic products for years
  • Dull, yellowed, or sticky surfaces that don't respond to normal cleaning
  • Cloudy, hazy patches or a tacky feel underfoot that attracts dirt (a common sign of wax buildup)
  • Sticky residue left by rug pads, polish, or tape
  • Before recoating or refinishing to ensure proper adhesion

Frequently asked questions

How do you remove old wax and acrylic from hardwood floors?

We apply a low-odor solvent that loosens the wax, then buff with gentle pads to lift the coating. A final neutral rinse leaves bare wood ready for a fresh finish.
