Q: How long does it take to strip and wax floors?

• <div><p>The answer to this question depends on how large the room is and how much experience you have stripping and waxing floors. It will take at least 24 hours to strip the floors, then you must allow time for drying, waxing, waiting for them to cure, and, finally, buffing them. Since you likely will not be working for the full 24 hours, it is safe to say that this is a two- or three-day job.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to have floors polished?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-shine-hardwood-floors.htm">Floor polishing</a> isn&rsquo;t technically necessary, but it will help your floors last longer and hold up better to scratches. Floor polish is a thin coating that fills in small abrasions on your floor and makes them less visible, and it can act as a protective covering that prevents future damage to the floor underneath. Floor polish helps protect against water and moisture, so it&rsquo;s a great service if you want to extend the lifespan of your floors. Additionally, polish makes your floors shine, making your home look cleaner and more inviting.</p></div>

Q: Will a floor polisher remove scratches?

• <div><p>A floor polisher won&rsquo;t remove scratches from a wood floor, but the polish can fill in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-wood-floor-scratches.htm">surface scratches</a> and make them all but invisible. If you run your fingernail gently over the scratch and it doesn&rsquo;t catch, chances are that the polish will hide it. If it does catch, you might want to have your floors fully refinished, and you might need to have a professional floor sander in for particularly deep scratches. When in doubt, call a professional floor polisher to determine if polish will fill in your scratches or if you need more in-depth services.</p></div>

Q: How frequently should I have my floors polished?

• <div><p>You should hire a flooring professional polish hardwood floors <b>once per year</b>. This annual schedule will help keep any surface scratches from getting more profound and restore a shine to your floor. However, if you have a high-trafficked home with excess dirt and debris, you might consider twice-yearly polishing to help it stay fresh. In between professional cleanings, stay on top of weekly floor cleanings and scratch-resolving to maintain the floor&rsquo;s integrity.</p></div>

Q: How often should you strip and wax a floor?

• <div><p>You should strip and wax hardwood floors every six months to two years. The actual length of time between stripping and waxing depends on the wear and tear that the floors see.
