VCT Strip & Wax Case Study
Rental Turnover Floor Restoration After Move-Out Cleaning
After a move-out clean, the client asked Fresh Care Cleaning to restore the worn VCT floors before new rental tenants moved in. The floor needed more than a basic mop; it needed a full strip, rinse, and new finish.

The Challenge
The unit was clean, but the VCT floors still looked dull and worn.
The client originally hired Fresh Care Cleaning for a move-out clean. During the turnover, it became clear that the floors had old finish buildup, traffic wear, dull spots, and embedded soil that routine cleaning would not correct. Before showing the unit to new tenants, the client requested a professional strip and wax.
- ✓ Dull, uneven finish from prior tenant traffic
- ✓ Old wax buildup and embedded soil
- ✓ Scuffs and worn high-traffic areas
- ✓ VCT that needed protection before the next tenant moved in
- ✓ Better appearance needed after the move-out cleaning was complete
Before & After
A better first impression for the next rental tenants
The floor restoration improved the look of the unit without replacing the flooring. Once the old finish was removed and new finish was applied, the floors had a cleaner, brighter, more professional appearance.
Floor Care Process
How Fresh Care Cleaning restored the VCT floors
2. Strip Old Finish
Commercial stripping solution and floor equipment were used to remove worn wax, embedded soil, and old finish layers.
3. Rinse & Neutralize
The floor was rinsed and neutralized so new finish could bond properly and dry evenly across the rental unit.
4. Apply Finish
Fresh coats of commercial floor finish were applied with proper dry time to restore shine and add protection.
