Alpha Cleaning Company Completes Floor Waxing Project for Social Security Administration Office in Elgin, IL

Alpha Cleaning Company recently completed a professional floor waxing project for the Social Security Administration office in Elgin, IL. Government facilities experience consistent daily foot traffic, making routine floor maintenance essential to preserving both appearance and durability.

Over time, high-traffic areas such as entrances, hallways, waiting areas, and service counters can develop visible wear patterns, scuff marks, and a dull finish. Our goal for this project was to restore the flooring’s shine while adding a durable protective layer to extend its lifespan.

Project Scope

The office’s vinyl composition tile (VCT) flooring required:

  • Removal of worn and scratched top layers of finish
  • Deep cleaning to eliminate embedded dirt and buildup
  • Careful edge detailing along baseboards and corners
  • Application of multiple coats of high-quality commercial floor finish

Because this is a public-facing government office, the project required careful scheduling and coordination to avoid disrupting daily operations.

Our Process

1. Area Preparation
We secured the work areas, moved necessary furniture, and ensured all surfaces were properly prepped.

2. Stripping and Deep Cleaning
Old wax and buildup were professionally stripped using commercial-grade products and floor machines designed to protect the underlying tile.

3. Neutralizing and Rinsing
After stripping, the floors were neutralized and thoroughly rinsed to prepare for new finish application.

4. Wax Application
Multiple coats of premium floor finish were applied, allowing proper drying time between coats to ensure durability and a uniform shine.

The Results

The completed project restored a clean, polished, and professional appearance to the Elgin office. The new protective finish will help resist scuffing, simplify routine maintenance, and maintain a welcoming environment for both visitors and staff.

Regular floor waxing not only improves appearance but also protects flooring from premature wear, reducing long-term replacement costs.
