VCT cleaning for Arlington schools, churches, shops and kitchens

Vinyl composition tile is the hard-wearing floor in school hallways, church kitchens, clinics, shops and break rooms. Its shine comes from layers of floor finish, and traffic wears that finish down in lanes until the tile looks dull and scuffed.

We look at the floor first. Some floors need a deep scrub and a fresh coat. Others need the old finish stripped all the way off before new coats go down.

Vinyl tile stripping and waxing in Arlington

Stripping removes the old, yellowed wax and the dirt sealed under it. Once the tile is bare and clean, fresh coats of floor finish go down with a flat mop, and the floor dries to a bright, even shine.

We schedule the work for when the room can sit empty while the finish cures: after hours, on a weekend or between school terms.

  • A floor check and a plan for its condition
  • Stripping old wax and finish

Why VCT cleaning matters in Arlington

Public buildings in a town like Arlington, from the library to the city office to church kitchens, often have VCT floors. We strip off dull, scuffed wax, clean the tile and lay new coats that make daily mopping easier.

The North Fork Ninnescah River runs through Arlington. In October 2018, after more than 4 inches of rain over several days, the Ninnescah flooded and Reno County found the most road damage in Grant, Arlington and Sylvia townships. Wet springs bring river-country mud to the door, and the June to July harvest brings dust.

Arlington had 230 housing units in the 2020 census on about a square mile, so most homes are small-town houses on in-town lots. Farms and acreages surround the city, and the North Fork Ninnescah runs through it. We clean homes in Arlington and the farm country around it. Arlington is about 19 miles southwest of Hutchinson.
