Alpha Cleaning Company recently completed a professional floor waxing project for the Science Academy of Chicago at their Mount Prospect, IL campus located at 501 Midway Drive — restoring the appearance and durability of hard surface floors in two school hallways over the course of a weekend.
Educational facilities like the Science Academy of Chicago present unique floor care challenges. School hallways experience some of the heaviest foot traffic of any commercial environment — students, teachers, staff, and visitors moving through constantly throughout the day, every day of the school week. Over time, this daily wear breaks down the protective floor finish, leaving hallway floors looking dull, scuffed, and worn. A professional strip and wax performed over the weekend — when the school is not in session — allows the floors to be properly restored without disrupting the school's daily operations or students' learning environment.
Our team arrived at the Science Academy of Chicago campus on Saturday morning and began with a thorough preparation of both hallways. We swept and cleaned all floor surfaces to remove loose dirt, debris, and dust before applying professional-grade floor stripping solution to break down and lift the old, worn finish that had accumulated over months of daily use. Using commercial floor machines, our technicians worked methodically through each hallway, stripping the old finish completely until the underlying floor surface was clean, clear, and properly prepared for a fresh coat of wax.
Once the stripping process was complete and both hallways were thoroughly rinsed, neutralized, and dried, our crew began applying the new floor finish. Multiple thin, even coats of high-quality commercial floor wax were applied across both hallways, with each coat allowed to fully cure before the next was applied. This careful layering process builds a durable, long-lasting finish that can withstand the demands of a busy school environment — protecting the floor from the daily foot traffic of students and staff while creating a bright, clean appearance throughout the hallways.
Special attention was given to edges, corners, and transition areas between sections of the hallway — the details that make the difference between a good floor waxing result and a truly professional one. Our team completed both hallways over the course of the weekend, ensuring the floors were fully cured, dry, and ready for students and staff to return on Monday morning.
The result was a dramatic transformation — two school hallways that had appeared dull, worn, and scuffed now had a bright, clean, professional shine that reflected the high standards the Science Academy of Chicago maintains for its students and faculty.
"We truly appreciate all the work you and your team have done for us. You've been professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with."
