I’ve already commented on one of the other VCT videos you guys have made. You are actually killing yourselves by doing it this way. On small jobs (less than 1500 square feet), it’s manageable. On something like this? No. Walk-behind floor scrubber, floor stripping machine, brute container for chemical spill etc is a must. I know you have mentioned in the video that you don’t do these usually. I’m in St. Pete. Will be more than willing to let you guys use some of my machines for any bigger job you might have just to save your backs.

[@cinthiaoliva4637]

Thanks for the video, I'm learning so much from this video. I have some questions for you, Can we email you? We are currently doing housekeeping and soon we will take on a commercial cleaning. So we need to learn how to charge and what machines, chemicals to use.

[@curtis906]

Been doing healthcare floors for 15 years now and awesome to see different ways of stripping and waxing floors. We double flood with pro stripper and use a floor machine to scrub it. Then use the same machine to suck up the stripper and scrub it with water.

[@TheHomicidalTendency]

When I was younger slipping around was fun, now I prefer really good non slip work shoes, but ideally black pads tied to your feet work very well for not slipping around on that.

[@EricRosenberg-h7i]

I've been doing this for 20 years. Always start with your feet on dry floor and work into the stripper. It's way safer. Also, what was that ring you had around the scrubber? Looked like rubber baseboard. Good idea for keeping the stripper and wax from being thrown up onto the walls.

[@SteamBossInc]

Yes home made splash guard. And good tip! We always do some things to add a little drama to the videos!

[@jeffwinters8492]

If you started from the end first and walk the machine up you won't slip. You go forward not back it makes it a lot easier

[@Metalhead0426]

You deserve many likes on this vid for tackling 17k sf. Good job yall!

[@SteamBossInc]

Appreciate it!

[@MarkSaiger]

That right there is one of the most difficult jobs to do! Just even continually tackling that every day is intense and immense! And seriously nice job on the edit showing the story, process and keeping interest. Looking forward to getting together with the Steam Boss Family again soon!

[@SteamBossInc]

So true!

[@LuisHernandez-rk2tp]

I work at a big hospital in Los Angeles doing janitorial work. And there getting rid of vtc floors. Sad because they look so nice when you strip n wax them

[@christopherbarrett6408]

Your work is amazing and awesome

[@richardgordon245]

I think they have these shoe bottoms called Jax anti slip for shipping and waxing floors.

[@shawnsturgeon1014]

I love strip/wax jobs. You never know what you’re going to get. I got my start refinishing grocery store floors of 50,000 to over 100,000 square feet. Usually a crew of 6 and two days.

[@DefKiller90]

We take about 4 or 5 days doing the grocery store it's only 2 of us

[@SteamBossInc]

Oh wow!

[@user-yb6jr5ev7e]

Do you strip or scrub? You can save a lot of time with scrubbing

[@StuG-pr9tf]

I work for a manufacturing business as a Janitor, and the building is 30+ years old, and the company has not taken good care of the VCT flooring tile for the past 10-20 years. So I asked them if they would get me what I need to try and restore these terrible looking tiles, and they said yes. So I have been doing some long hallways and it is requiring me to use 3-4 applications of stripper + using the machine 3-4 times to try and remove a majority of the wax. I have to get on my knees first ( 61 years old Lol's ) and scrub the baseboards with a brush + green scrub pad to try and prep the molding first, and I still can't get every square inch of icky brown buildup that has collected where the tile meets the baseboard. I wish i had some of the equipment you guys have?? MY question for you is this? What do you do with the round scrub pads that you use on the floor scrubber that collects all that old wax and stripper? Do you take a brush to them and try to reuse them, or just use a brand new pad and throw the other ones out

[@Jmill941]

How much do you charge a square foot for VTC flooring stripping and waxing great video by the way 🎉

[@ThePaintPaperHustle]

Did you ever find out what others are charging?

[@snorpuff4722]

Great job 😍

[@SteamBossInc]

Thank you! 😊

[@amymartin8512]

Before and after pictures towards the end of the video would be awesome.

[@737Garrus]

I love how You were slipping and sliding! Looks so fun!

[@jasexavier]

It looks fun, but be very careful. Stripper on wax is a different kind of slippery than ice, etc. The stripper causes the finish to release from the floor; when you step on it the stuff you're stepping on moves. It's sort of like every step you take someone is pulling a tiny rug out from under your foot. If you're not used to it it can be extremely hard to stay on your feet. It's certainly much more difficult than walking on snow or ice.

[@rm6445]

how much do you price the sq.ft, for stripping and waxing, I'm in Soutn Texas

[@user-ys4qw3cp1q]

Very good job, a question, how much do you charge per square foot?

[@123MATEMATICAS123]

How much pay for this work

[@user-sm6lt9mf9t]

Can you say what type of facility this was? Looks like either a hospital or some sort of research lab facility.

[@antoniodalessio8027]

Wonderful, beautiful floor put on my book club give them more shine and more beautiful floor, polish the floor at the finish polish spray, bath spray bath, because play barf barf, thank you😅

[@bradmorgan3797]

How much did it cost to get your business up and running? I would love to start my own company one day.

[@lizzybrakefield3488]

Do u have video step by step how to strip and wax

[@SteamBossInc]

We do not. But it’s pretty self explanatory after watch a few videos.

[@franciscomaciel7987]

Great job, Quick question how was the fumes? It seemed areas weren’t ventilated much.

[@mattjones1293]

It depends on the brand in my experiences. Some gave a polymer smell but some like Juggernaut have no smell at all. Most buytl based floor strippers are non caustic and safe. I wouldn't drink or bathe in the stuff and wear eye protection. Walking behind the swing machine instead of in front like seen here will make for less slippery, more solid ground for the operator too.

[@almost1065]

Can you make a video on how you advertise your business/ how you get jobs?

[@SteamBossInc]

we are mostly just word of mouth and website/google.

[@jaytoorare6542]

Can y’all do a video on how y’all price for vct and carpet

[@SteamBossInc]

its somewhat irrelevant because every area and job is different.

[@areannaquintessa]

welp now we know who cleans the backrooms

[@cathtf7957]

Cool

[@jaysartori9032]

What kind of business do you call yourselves? Because I'd love to get a job like yours up her in Buffalo.

[@SteamBossInc]

we restore floors!

Why don't you use A walk behind wet vacuum is way faster...

[@SteamBossInc]

Just bought one! lol

[@c.t.nyanga9809]

10:16 how are you prepping the floors so that your stripper doesn't travel under doors into the rooms? Uneven floors can be an unexpected nightmare.

[@randommade2105]

From plenty of experience you do it by hand or you pray😂

[@c.t.nyanga9809]

@@randommade2105 very true 😂😂

[@SteamBossInc]

Very carefully lol

[@shawnsturgeon1014]

If I could just set my 2cents down, it would be easier if you pour stripper on the edges, that allows you to walk the middle and not slip as much.

[@SteamBossInc]

this job was hard because of it just being skinny hallways with lots of people working at once.. In an open room it's not a issue.

[@user-ys4qw3cp1q]

Very good job, a question, how much do you charge per square foot?
