Floor Care and Maintenance Services in Portland, OR
Your floors are the largest visible surface in any commercial space. They’re also the surface that takes the most abuse — foot traffic, equipment, spills, weather, and time all take their toll. When floors look worn, dull, or damaged, the entire space looks neglected. When they’re clean, polished, and well-maintained, everything else looks better.
Janitorial Plus provides comprehensive floor care and maintenance services in Portland, Oregon, and throughout the Metro Area. From VCT strip and wax to concrete floor cleaning and sealing, epoxy maintenance, carpet care, and hard floor polishing, we handle every floor type in every commercial environment. Our floor care programs keep your surfaces protected, safe, and looking their best year-round
VCT Strip and Wax Floor Services
Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) is the most common commercial flooring in Portland — you’ll find it in offices, medical facilities, retail stores, schools, and restaurants. Over time, the wax coating wears down from foot traffic, revealing dull, scratched, and discolored tile underneath. Strip and wax service restores VCT floors to like-new condition and protects them for months.
Our Strip and Wax Proccess
Step 1: Stripping. We apply a commercial-grade stripping solution to dissolve all old wax layers, built-up grime, and embedded dirt. Using low-speed floor machines with stripping pads, we remove every trace of old finish down to the bare tile.
Step 2: Deep Cleaning and Neutralizing. After stripping, we thoroughly clean the bare floor and apply a neutralizing solution. This critical step ensures the new wax adheres properly and lasts as long as possible. Skipping this step is the most common reason DIY and cut-rate wax jobs fail prematurely.
Step 3: Wax Application. We apply multiple coats of high-quality commercial floor finish, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. The number of coats depends on traffic levels — typically 3 to 5 coats for commercial environments.
Step 4: Buffing and Inspection. Once the final coat is dry, we buff the floor to a high-gloss finish and conduct a thorough inspection. The result: floors that look brand new, resist scuffing, and are easier to maintain between services.
We use eco-friendly, low-odor, quick-drying wax products that are safe for occupied commercial spaces. Most strip and wax jobs can be completed overnight so your business opens to freshly finished floors. Our Eco-friendly products
How Often Should VCT Floors Be Stripped and Waxed?
The recommended frquency depends on foot traffic:
• High-traffic commercial spaces (retail, restaurants, medical): every 3 to 4 months
• Medium-traffic offices and professional spaces: every 6 months
• Low-traffic areas (storage, back offices): annually
• Between full strip-and-wax cycles, we recommend monthly or bi-monthly buff and recoat maintenance to extend the life of the finish
Concrete Floor Cleaning and Sealing
Concrete floors are the backbone of Portland’s warehouses, industrial facilities, retail spaces, restaurants, and modern offices. Despite their durability, concrete is a porous material that absorbs stains, collects dust, and deteriorates without proper cleaning and sealing. Professional concrete floor care protects your investment and keeps your facility safe and presentable.
Concrete Floor Cleaning
Our concrete cleaning process goes far beyond mopping. Using commercial auto-scrubbers and industrial-strength cleaning solutions, we remove:
•     Tire marks from forklifts and heavy equipment
•     Efflorescence (white salt deposits from moisture migration)
•     Accumulated dust, dirt, and debris that regular cleaning misses
•     Mold and mildew in damp environments
Concrete Floor Sealing
After cleaning, we apply a high-quality concrete sealant that creates a protective barrier against:
•     Moisture penetration and water damage
•     Oil and chemical staining
•     Dust generation from bare concrete (dusting)
•     Abrasion and surface wear from heavy traffic and equipment
Sealed concrete floors are dramatically easier to maintain, resist staining, and look significantly more professional than unsealed surfaces. For warehouses and industrial spaces, concrete sealing also reduces dust — a critical factor for product quality and worker health.

Additional Floor Care Services
Epoxy Floor Maintenance
Epoxy-coated floors in garages, manufacturing facilities, and commercial kitchens need specific care to maintain their coating integrity. We clean epoxy floors without damaging the finish, using pH-neutral solutions and appropriate equipment that preserves the epoxy layer while removing dirt, grease, and scuff marks.
Hard Floor Polishing and Buffing
Between full strip-and-wax cycles, regular buffing maintains the shine and extends the life of your floor finish. Our high-speed burnishing equipment restores gloss to VCT, LVT, and other hard-surface flooring without the time and cost of a complete strip-and-wax service.
Commercial Carpet Deep Cleaning
While our primary floor care focus is hard surfaces, we also provide commercial carpet extraction cleaning for offices, lobbies, and common areas. Hot water extraction removes embedded dirt, allergens, and stains that vacuum cleaning can’t reach. Our Carpet Cleaning Services.

Different facilities have different floor care needs. Our programs are designed for:
• Corporate offices and professional spaces (VCT, LVT, carpet)

• Restaurants and food service (degreasing, anti-slip treatment, concrete)
• Warehouses and industrial facilities (concrete cleaning and sealing, epoxy maintenance)
