Commercial floor stripping, waxing and polishing in Montreal
Bring your floors back to their original shine with lasting protection.
Over time and with foot traffic, wax layers yellow, scratch and trap dirt: your floors look dull even right after mopping. HygiePro removes the old finish, applies new protective coats and polishes the surface for a shiny, uniform finish.
We work in stores, offices, schools, gymnasiums, daycares and clinics across Greater Montreal, on vinyl composition tile (VCT), linoleum, ceramic, terrazzo and polished concrete. Work is scheduled outside your business hours.

Frequently asked questions
What is floor stripping and why is it important for a business?
Floor stripping is a professional process that removes layers of wax, varnish and residue accumulated on floor coverings (vinyl, ceramic, linoleum, VCT). Over time, these layers yellow and alter the appearance of your premises. A complete stripping restores the floor to its original appearance and allows a new protective layer to be applied, extending the life of the covering.
What is the difference between stripping and polishing commercial floors?
Stripping involves mechanically removing all existing finish layers using high-speed machines and specialized stripping products. Polishing (or buffing) is performed after applying new coats of wax and involves making the surface shine using a high-rotation polisher. Together, these two operations restore a clean, shiny floor protected against daily wear.
How often should commercial floors be stripped and polished?
As a general rule, a complete stripping is recommended once or twice a year for high-traffic areas (corridors, entrance halls, retail stores). Less frequented areas can be treated annually. Between strippings, quarterly polishing or buffing maintains the shiny appearance of floors and delays the next stripping.
What types of floors can HygiePro strip and polish?
HygiePro works on most hard commercial floor coverings: vinyl composition tiles (VCT), linoleum, ceramic, terrazzo, polished concrete and certain treated wood floors. Each type of surface requires a specific approach and products, which our technicians master perfectly to avoid any damage.
Does floor stripping cause damage or odors in the premises?
Stripping performed by professionals like HygiePro does not damage the floor covering. The products used are specifically formulated to dissolve wax layers without attacking the underlying surface. Light odors may be present during the intervention, which is why we recommend scheduling the operation outside business hours. Adequate ventilation is ensured during and after the intervention.
How much does a floor stripping and polishing service cost for a commercial space in Montreal?
The cost varies depending on the floor area, type of covering, condition of the floors and number of coats to apply. HygiePro offers free custom quotes after a visual evaluation of your premises. The price is calculated per square foot and includes preparation, stripping, application of finish coats and final polishing.
Can HygiePro regularly maintain floors after stripping to extend the results?
Yes. HygiePro offers floor maintenance packages that include periodic buffing, application of maintenance protective coats and regular wet cleaning. This follow-up helps maintain the floor's shine longer between complete strippings, representing significant savings for your business.
