Overview

The entry, the main aisle, and the checkout lanes carry the heaviest soil load in a store. Cart wheels, weather, and foot traffic grind a gray film into the traffic pattern, and a machine scrub restores the floor in one pass.

Conditions

Common floor conditions

Traffic-lane film

The entry, main aisle, and checkout receive extra attention, where the traffic-lane film is heaviest.

Dull VCT

Scrubbing restores finish that is dirty; finish that is worn through requires a strip and re-coat, which is identified with photos.

Polished concrete sales floors

Polished floors are cleaned with products safe for the polish, with no etching or dulling.

Stockrooms and receiving

Bare concrete is scrubbed for grit and grime, and pallet-jack marks are removed with chemistry made for rubber transfer.

Garden centers and covered areas

Soil, fertilizer, and water stains are scrubbed and recovered rather than washed into the parking lot.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the floor be scrubbed with displays and fixtures in place?
Yes. Open areas are scrubbed by machine, and the aisles between gondolas and around fixtures are finished by hand. Merchandise is not moved.
Will the floor be dry before opening?
Yes. The scrubber recovers the water it applies, and the surface is dry within minutes. Work is scheduled to finish well before the opening crew arrives.
Our VCT looks yellow. Will scrubbing correct it?
If the discoloration is soil in the finish, yes. If the finish itself is worn, oxidized, or built up, the floor requires a strip and re-coat, which Maddox does not offer. A test spot identifies which condition applies before the quote.
Do you serve multiple locations?
Yes, within Greater Houston. A standing program across several stores runs with the same operator, the same scope, and one invoice.
