VCT cleaning for Nickerson 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 Nickerson

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

Nickerson, KS

Why VCT cleaning matters in Nickerson

Nickerson's grade school, high school, churches and small shops use vinyl composition tile in halls, classrooms and kitchens. We strip old wax, clean and refinish VCT so the floors look bright and stand up to daily traffic.

In late May 2019, flooding left inches of standing water downtown, washed out streets and had residents pumping water out of their basements. Nickerson sits on the Arkansas River, and the river valley's sandy ground tracks into homes all year. Wheat harvest in June and July adds chaff and field dust.

Nickerson has some of the oldest housing in the area. Census estimates show about half of its homes were built before 1940, and most are single-family houses. We clean homes and businesses across Nickerson. Nickerson is about 12 miles northwest of Hutchinson.

About Nickerson, Kansas

Nickerson was laid out in 1872, when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached the spot, and it was named for Thomas Nickerson, the railroad's president. The first post office ran out of a sod house starting in 1873. A wooden bridge crossed the Arkansas River by 1879, and Nickerson was incorporated that June.

In 1899 the Legislature created Reno County High School here, and Nickerson College also operated in town. By 1912 Nickerson was the second largest town in Reno County, with mills, grain elevators, two banks and an opera house. Houses in Nickerson were used for scenes in the 1955 film Picnic.
