Waxed Tile & Grout

[Trevorschultz]

As the title states...about 400sq ft to do tomorrow. Most of the wax has just worn off over time but I'm curious if anyone has a killer combo for this. I've got lots of floor stripper, a tile spinner, an auto scrubber, orbitals or a 175 to use.

Simple; stripper, scour with the 175, spinner, repeat as needed. Flush the hoses so they don't cake up inside.

You don't need to baby anything.

What do you plan to do about the baseboards?

Dont let it dry, work a couple hundred at a time. Mask everything from three feet down

Be patient.

There's worse things you could do for a buck

Fortunately the area that is waxed is mostly surrounded by other tile without wax, so I don't have a huge area that I have to tape off.

There surely is another Old Coastie in your town you can hire. Go downtown and look for the creepy van.

Make sure that you don't extract the liquified floor finish into your truck mount. Use a wet vac instead.
