Phillips Care Cleaning provides commercial floor care in Warren, Youngstown and across Trumbull and Mahoning County: daily cleaning, buffing and burnishing, scrub and recoat, and full strip and wax for VCT, LVT, tile, sealed concrete and terrazzo. We match the level of care to your floor and your traffic, put it on a written schedule, and do the work after hours so your building never closes for it.
A dull, scuffed floor makes a clean building look dirty. Good floor care services bring the shine back, protect the floor so it lasts years longer, and cost far less than replacing tile. We have been doing this out of Warren since 2012.
Commercial Floor Care
Commercial Floor Care Services We Provide
Most buildings need a mix of four levels of care. Two of them have their own pages with the full details.
Daily cleaning
dust mopping, damp mopping and machine auto-scrubbing as part of your regular janitorial services.
Buffing, polishing and burnishing
a high-speed pad brings back the gloss between deeper visits. See floor buffing and polishing.
Scrub and recoat
we deep scrub the top layer of finish and lay down fresh coats, without stripping to bare tile.
Full strip and wax
all old finish comes off, then new sealer and finish go down. See floor stripping and waxing.
At a glance
Daily Cleaning vs Buffing vs Scrub and Recoat vs Strip and Wax
The question we hear most is which one you actually need. Here is the difference, so you never pay for a full strip when a scrub and recoat will do the job.
| Level of care | What it does | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Dust mop and auto-scrub | Removes grit and spills before they grind into the finish | Every cleaning visit |
| Buff or burnish | Polishes the existing finish back to a high gloss | When traffic lanes look dull but the finish is still intact |
| Scrub and recoat | Removes the worn top layers of finish and adds fresh coats | When scuffs and dirt are in the finish, not under it |
| Strip and wax | Takes all finish down to bare floor, then reseals and refinishes | When finish is yellowed, built up or worn through to the tile |
Daily care keeps grit off the floor. Buffing keeps the shine. Recoats add protection back. A full strip resets the floor when nothing else will. Done in that order, a full strip and wax is needed far less often.

Floor Maintenance Schedule for Commercial Floors
This is the starting schedule we use. Your commercial floor care plan gets adjusted at the walk-through for your traffic, your entrances and the season, since Ohio winters drag salt and slush across every lobby.
| Traffic level | Daily | Buff or burnish | Scrub and recoat | Strip and wax |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy: lobbies, schools, retail, entrances | Every visit | Weekly | Every 3 to 4 months | Once a year |
| Medium: offices, churches, daycares, clinics | Every visit | Every 2 to 4 weeks | Every 6 months | Every 1 to 2 years |
| Light: private offices, storage, back halls | Every visit | Monthly | Once a year | Every 2 to 3 years |
Commercial Floor Care
Floor Types We Care For
Every floor needs a different method. Using the wrong pad or chemical can dull or damage it, so our commercial floor cleaning starts with knowing what is under your feet.
VCT (vinyl composition tile)
the most common commercial floor. It needs finish to look good and to last, so it gets buffing, recoats and a periodic strip and wax.
LVT and luxury vinyl plank
many have a factory wear layer. We scrub and protect it with the right products instead of stripping it like VCT.
Ceramic and porcelain tile
machine scrubbing for the tile and the grout lines. Lobbies and restrooms get the deepest work. See tile and grout cleaning.
Sealed concrete
warehouses, shops and showrooms. We scrub, then maintain or refresh the sealer or finish.
Terrazzo
found in older Valley schools, churches and office buildings. It gets scrubbing, sealing and polishing to bring the stone back out.

Real Floor Jobs From Our Crew
The before and after photos on this page are from real jobs done by our crew, not stock photos. These are floors in local buildings that came back from dull and scuffed to a clean, glossy finish. Fernando Phillips oversees the floor work himself, so the result you see is the result you get. Every commercial floor care job ends with a walk of the finished floor before we leave.
Floors that sit between deep visits for too long are the ones that end up needing a full strip. A floor kept on a schedule keeps its finish, stays easier to clean every night and looks newer for years. That is the whole point of putting your floors on a plan instead of calling only when they look bad.

Buildings We Maintain
Our commercial floor care crews work in offices and multi-tenant buildings, churches, daycares, medical and dental offices, retail stores, schools and training centers, showrooms and warehouses.

How it works
How It Works
Building Walk-Through
We walk your building with you: entrances, offices, restrooms, break rooms and floor types. We note square footage, traffic and the problem spots your last cleaner kept missing.
Cleaning Plan
We write a room-by-room checklist, pick the nights and the time window that fit your hours, and assign the crew who will own your building.
Written Proposal
You get a flat monthly or per-visit price in writing, with exactly what gets done each visit and what rotates weekly or monthly.
Keys and Start Date
We set up keys or alarm codes, line up a start date so there is no gap after your old cleaner, and check in after the first week.
Pricing
How Commercial Floor Care Is Priced
You get a flat price per visit for one-time work like a strip and wax, or the floor work is built into your monthly janitorial price so it runs on schedule. Square footage, floor type, how much old finish is on the floor and how much furniture we move set the price. Commercial floor waxing is quoted after we see the floor, never billed by the hour. For more on pricing, read what commercial cleaning costs in Warren.

Frequently asked questions
Commercial Floor Care FAQ
What is considered floor care?
Floor care is everything that keeps a hard floor clean, protected and looking good. In a commercial building that means daily dust mopping and scrubbing, regular buffing or burnishing to keep the shine, periodic scrub and recoat to renew the finish, and a full strip and wax when the finish is worn out. Carpet cleaning is often grouped with it. We set up the right mix for your floors on a written schedule.
What are the different types of floor cleaning and maintenance methods?
The main methods are dust mopping and damp mopping, machine auto-scrubbing, spray buffing, high-speed burnishing, scrub and recoat, and full stripping and refinishing. Daily methods remove grit and spills. Buffing and burnishing restore gloss. A scrub and recoat renews worn finish. Stripping removes all old finish so new sealer and finish can go down. Tile, terrazzo and concrete may also get deep scrubbing and sealing.
How often should commercial floors be stripped and waxed?
Most commercial VCT floors need a full strip and wax every one to two years. Heavy traffic areas like lobbies, schools and retail floors may need it once a year. Regular buffing and a scrub and recoat every few months stretch the time between full strips, which saves money. We look at your floor during the walk-through and tell you honestly whether it needs a strip or just a recoat.
What is the difference between buffing and burnishing?
Buffing runs a slower machine, often with a spray product, to clean and polish the floor finish. Burnishing uses a high-speed machine that spins much faster and heats the finish to bring out a hard, wet-look gloss. Buffing is good for touch-ups and lighter traffic. Burnishing gives the brightest shine on busy floors. Both are covered on our floor buffing and polishing page.
Can you do floor care at night or on weekends?
Yes. Most of our commercial floor care is done after hours, at night or on weekends, so your staff, customers and students never walk on wet floors. Strip and wax jobs need time for finish to dry between coats, so we often schedule them over a weekend or a closed day. We plan the timing with you at the walk-through.
Do you clean LVT and luxury vinyl floors the same as VCT?
No. VCT is porous and needs layers of finish, so it gets stripped and waxed. Many LVT and luxury vinyl plank floors come with a factory wear layer that should not be stripped the same way. We clean LVT with the right pads and products, scrub it, and protect it based on what the manufacturer allows. Telling us your floor type at the walk-through keeps it safe.
