> How to Strip and Wax VCT Floors by Handyman on 07/09/2007

You should be able to use any type of comercial stripper. My job uses Johnson&Johnson/Drummond stripper. Both are excellent. Don't put on full strenth, you'll have to mix with water. Also, let the solution work on the areas where the wax is built up and after that you should be able to use an electric floor scrubber, or scrub with your hands if your up for a tough job. Make sure that you don't let any of the stripper solution dry on the floor, that will make you do more work. Also, use a mop to apply the stripper and also when it seems that its about to start drying, just add more. More is better in a since that you dont have too worry about it drying, but you have to clean it all up, so if you don't use a electric wet vac, you'll be up for some fresh water mopping alot of times to make sure that the stripper is all gone. I hope that you get this in time to help:- email me if you have any other questions. myrontm@umich.edu
