3m pad stripping vct floor @mrjeffthecustodian

That’s what I do at the hospital I stripped floors just like that it depends how the floor is sometimes it doesn’t always work I have no choice put to strip it all way down with stripper did this for 15 years

Does the black stripper pad for the buffer have to be the same exact size as the driver or is it ok if the pad is an inch larger in diameter than the driver?

Need to dump that slurry somewhere away from the building. Right by the door? Come on, man!!!

wow....amazing

What was that edging tool that you were using?

The wet vac you're using. It's self explanatory? To clean it out you just bring it outside and take off the hose?

You should have used a black pad

I just got in to stripping and waxing floors. I've done it 2 times and failed both times, both involved stripping using chemical stripper. I came across this video and decided to give it a try today. My god I will never use stripper unless I have to. My floors looked amazing with 6 coats of wax. I'm so eager to wake up tomorrow to buff them and move everything back in the rooms. I truly appreciate this video, really showed me that waxing floors doesn't have to be as stressful as I thought it would.

this isn't stripping a floor, your top scrubbing it.

Why is it we don't clean our own machinery? Your floor scrubber looks exactly like mine.
Dingy and dirty😅

Are you just using water or chemicals?

We're using a square scuber and love it

He forgot the stripper soultion

I miss doing this kind of work. I used to work for a school district. Those summer cleanups were awesome. Cranking loud music and scrubbing/stripping/waxing floors. Nice video!

God bless and thanks for sharing ❤

Thank you!

Do you do supermarkets?

Pouring out the dirty water into the grass is a great way to promote proper health and safety practices 🤡

Everything you do is wrong you should be trained again on doing floors…

Did you add wax to the brown baseboard??

What exact pad did you use? Can you share a link? I have always used stripper but hate using it and all about this method. Thank you

It would have dried faster if you had some air movement on it it shouldn't only take an hour to dry

Can I put stripping chemical in an auto scrubber and use it to scrub and strip the floor?

Will one pad do the whole classroom?

Seen custodians for yrs in schools and other jobs making up their own methods. Nothing avoids doing it right and hardwork. Can get away top scrubbing it for awhile. Sooner or later got to strip it. Also why not,its just floor stripper it wont hurt you. Been doing floors for over 25 floors for public schools and private sector. When there isnt any chemical all your using is machine friction to clean. Real top scrubbing a floor is using a pad and some kind of chemical if not stripper. Plain water is just a total wasts of time. Even just using some simple green rather then water will do a way better job.

No offense or disrespect. But please dont anyone out there top scrub a floor with just water. Need chemical heat and friction to clean. Especially if your job depends on doing it right.

If your not taking it down to bare tile your not stripping the floor your scrub and topcoat

What exact tool did you use to scrub/strip the edges?

Did you polish at the end of the coats of wax or in between?

He's just talking to much

your floor curbing machine it out of order, please repair it. Housekeeping Manager Johnson

I appreciate it!! This helps lot! U are very good! Everyone been telling me why my classrooms floors are so clean I say I watch your videos!

Safety ? Footwear ? PPE

Thank you Mr. Jeff, I'm coming up on my third summer and they want me stripping this time. I've done room clean outs the first year, waxing the second, and now I'll learn to strip.

This is super insightful! And you boys are making it work despite that machine being older than the trees!

Can you give us the spec on the 3M abrasive pad you used here please?

Dumps all the stripper and floor finish in the grass 😂😂😂 come back a week later the grass is still white 😂😂😂

You're top scrubbing the foor stop calling it stripping, 2hrs to dry a floor? Have u ever heard of floor fans.u wouldn't last 2 days working with me u are way too slow I'd have 4 Coates of wax on there in an hr and 15 mins

Hey good morning this is DJ I'm a custodian janitor I do volunteer work

Great job

that floor is still messed up

No jeff

Awesome job you guys!!! I am doing my first floor this weekend and am so much less nervous now thanks to you. I am going to try the no chem strip method except on some really bad spots that may need it. You guys rock!!

It will be messed up in 3 hours anyway life of a custodian all that hard work for nothing 😂😂

Did I hear him say 2 hours for 1st Coat. He needs to be fired LO. L. I've been doing floors for over 40 years. Floor. has Not been done in several years. There's no way I would have not chemically stripped that. There's a time in place. There's a time and a place for those 3 m's. floor..

Why no black trash bag in your wax bucket????? It’s harder to clean out

When I worked the night shift for the Supermarket I am currently employed at I learned how to take care of the floors and was such a satisfying job. I know what you mean about not wanting to do a Chemical Strip unfortunately that is how its still done today with our company only to save time..

Thanks; this was very helpful. My only question is that I don't have a mopping machine to clean after the water stripping. What would you recommend as the best way to rinse the floor after stripping before you apply the wax?

Hey buddy, nice work! Two hours to dry? Just one fan would have increased dry time.
