What are the benefits of floor waxing?
Floors are subjected to daily wear and tear: shoes bring dust, dirt and small stones into the premises, which scratch and wear the floor. Floor waxing provides a protective layer on the floor surface that prevents wear and tear, covers small scratches and keeps the floor in a clean condition.
Regular waxing not only prolongs the life of the floor, it also makes cleaning easier. A wax surface that repels dirt and water makes cleaning faster, saving both time and cleaning costs. Keeping your floor clean and well-maintained also increases its value.
Careful floor waxing by a professional
The need for floor waxing depends on the occupancy of the space and the floor material. In heavily trafficked areas, such as stairwells, waxing should be carried out at least once a year. In less frequented areas, waxing can be done, for example, every two years. As professionals, we will assess the needs of the space and the floor material and plan the waxing process to suit your property.
The waxing process usually starts with the removal of the old wax layer. This step ensures that the new wax layer will look smooth and clean. Next, the floor is machine washed and thoroughly rinsed. After cleaning, a new layer of wax is applied, suitable for the flooring material, and allowed to dry and harden in peace. The end result is a beautifully finished floor, ready to withstand the rigours of everyday life.

Which floors are suitable for waxing?
For successful floor waxing, it is important to choose the right products and methods for each surface material. Whether it’s linoleum, plastic or stone flooring, each surface requires a different type of wax and treatment to ensure a good-looking finish.
The wrong type of wax can permanently damage the floor and its appearance. WashUP’s expert team waxes a wide range of flooring materials, including wood and parquet floors.

Floor waxing price
The price of floor waxing is determined on a case-by-case basis, as the size of the space, the floor material and the extent of the work will affect the price. For example, very large spaces take more time to treat. If the floor has already been waxed, the old wax layer must be removed before the new one is applied.
You can influence the price yourself by moving any furniture out of the way so that we can concentrate directly on waxing the floor.
Factors affecting the price:
- Size of the space
- Floor material
- Current condition of the floor
- Furniture moving
- Removal of old wax layer
- Number of wax layers needed

Frequently asked questions
Find out the frequently asked questions about floor waxing and related issues. If we haven’t answered all your questions here, you can always contact us directly here.
How often should floor waxing be done?
The need for waxing depends on the use of the space and the floor material. In busy areas, such as stairwells, waxing is recommended annually alongside regular real estate cleaning. In less frequented areas, such as meeting rooms, waxing every two years is usually sufficient. The most common interval is once a year.
Do different floor materials need different waxes?
Yes, different floor materials require different wax treatments. For example, linoleum, plastic and stone floors all need different waxes to look good. You don’t have to worry about choosing a wax, because we know how to select the most suitable wax for each surface material.
How long does a waxed surface take to dry?
The average drying time for waxing is usually 3-4 hours, but we recommend waiting around 10 hours to be on the safe side. Good ventilation will speed up the drying process, while poor ventilation can prolong the drying time.
Can I choose between a glossy or matt wax?
Yes, you can choose either a glossy or matt wax layer. Matt or semi-gloss waxing is best suited to areas with high traffic and where dirt accumulates easily. Dirt does not stand out as easily on matt surfaces. The more glossy the wax, the less likely dirt tends to stand out on the floor.
How can I influence the price of waxing?
You can reduce the cost of waxing by moving any furniture and belongings out of the way. This reduces the time we spend on the job, which is reflected in a lower price.
How much does it cost to wax the floor in my building?
The cost of waxing varies on a case-by-case basis, depending on the floor area, material and current condition. As an investment, a well-maintained floor will both increase the comfort of the residents and maintain the value of the property.
What are the benefits of regular waxing?
Regular waxing protects the floor from wear and dirt, makes cleaning easier and helps maintain both the condition and value of the floor. Waxing brings long-term savings and gives your space a beautifully finished look.
Can you wax your floor yourself?
Waxing can be done yourself, but the process is quite laborious. The steps include removing any old wax, washing the floor, drying the floor and applying new coats of wax. All this work requires time, patience and precision. The equipment and experience of professionals will help ensure a flawless and durable finish.
Does floor waxing affect your cleaning costs?
Yes, a waxed floor is easier to clean, which is likely to reduce cleaning costs in the longer term. The waxed surface repels dirt and water, which also makes daily cleaning more efficient.
