I did some summer janitorial work at a school for a few years and we had to strip a floor that had 20 years and thus 20 layers of wax... the kind of wax that shows a forklift on the box. It looked so much better after, but it took some work... so I can relate!
OMG guys! What a crazy job, but what an amazing transformation! Great job, and it was great seeing you guys again this past week! Looking forward to the next Steam Boss video, and seeing you guys again soon!
Been there before stripping terrazzo down so many coats of finish not too mention a couple of Johnson wax technique floor sealer it had taken us a couple of months the terrazzo was a couple of city blocks too work in.
i have strip and waxed floors for years some time you have to make the striper stronger then you really want to also even though it says cold water new use cold water it will make you work harder you find out like will be easier with hot water just try it you will see
We have been stripping and waxing floors for 30 years. Never had a job this bad. Tried several different products noting worked great. Was some sort of “tree wax” made for wood floors.
@@SteamBossInc I have had wax do the same thing to it me it took a lot work it was yellow and dirty just like what you seen there it does some time take going over two times like that when it's that bad yes when people use the wrong type of wax on the floor that kind of stuff happens i see it all the time some folkes thing they can use any kind of wax
I'm not sure that's wax and not a urethane coating. Or wax on top of a urethane coating? I have a natural stone floor approximately 20,000 sq feet that has a urethane coating on it that floor stripper won't cut. Any suggestions or product that I can use to remove this finish?
Yup....we have done this with VCT sealers on tile and of course the grout has it much thicker than the tile surface....we charge big time $$$ to remove and I give our customers 2 choices on how we can charge....they can either pay by the hour the stripping process or I give a very high fixed cost for the stripping and I itemize this on the proposals....we just did a 42,000 sq.ft. warehouse for a good customer of ours and he wants us in quarterly to do the deep cleaning....the next time we do it I want to get the tire marks out for him....will have ro experiment on that without compromising the coating so will try our neutral cleaner to see how it goes in one area.
Does anyone understand that terrazzo floors were never meant to be waxed? Been a janitor since 1982 till present. People need to understand material and old products vs new products.
This was a job that you should have turned down. To have two people spend so many hours on one job you would need to charge the client a lot of money. And for that same amount they could have bought a new floor.
Obviously I can only speak for my self but I am here watching your video because I am trying to educate my self. But I keep running into the same problem with your videos. You dont give any details on what your using to do your work. You dont talk about equiptment, cleaners, or anything. I understand you have a bussiness and you want work, so your not going to give all the secrets out. But why would I watch videos of you working if that is all there is?

@@SteamBossInc My pleasure. Let's do it again soon 😊👍
That’s a dope video great work guys love the informative videos

I hate wax removals but you guys did an amazing job with that terrazzo!!
Thanks!
Nice work what floor stripper remover do you use or a degreaser to get to the bare floor? Appreciate your help.
Any commercial grade floor stripper would work.
WOW! That’s thick!
Omg that spot you were pulling it up in a big chunk was almost as satisfying a peeling sunburned skin 😂😂
Maybe to watch but not to do lol
@@SteamBossInc I can imagine! That floor looked like a nightmare to strip but looked amazing after you were all done!
That looks good
Hopefully she hires you back when its time to top scrub and wax / buff.
That is insane 😳 you guys work hard enough, what were these people trying to do to you 😆 you need a bigger scraper for these moments 😜
We actually have several bigger ones but for some reason that little guy worked the best lol.
@@SteamBossInc Whaaat 😆 it's crazy when a machine you didn't expect to do the job works out the best 😆 I guess it was determined to help!
Hi mate can you please tell us what chemical you use for striping.
I won't even say because it didn't work well at all lol
Thats pretty much all you can do is agitate the solution and scrape lol. Dealing with a job now like that and it sucks
Yes!

You may very well be right. Unfortunately I do not.

Yeah, we under bid this one LOL
@SteamBossInc just keep moving forward and wish you where better....
Good ol mop n glo
This was actually some weird “tree wax” product I’ve never seen before which is why it was probably so hard to remove.
👍👍👍
What do you seal it with?
a stone sealer.
It's like when you peel off dead skin from a sunburn.
eek lol
