The Problem
Floors have years of Pledge, Mop & Glo, or paste wax that prevents any new finish from sticking
When To Choose Wax Removal
- ✓ You’ve used Mop & Glo, Pledge, Rejuvenate, or paste wax over years
- ✓ Water beads on the floor instead of absorbing (classic wax sign)
- ✓ A previous refinisher told you they couldn’t recoat because of "contamination"
- ✓ The floor feels tacky in humid weather
When NOT To Choose
- ✕ Floor has no wax/acrylic — deep clean alone may be enough
- ✕ Finish is already failing — go straight to sand-and-refinish
Our Clean ReCoat Process™
1
Identify contamination
Solvent test to confirm what’s on the floor (wax, acrylic, silicone) and how many layers.
2
Strip in stages
Solvent application, dwell time, mechanical agitation, extraction — repeated until the floor passes an adhesion test.
3
Neutralize & prep
Floor is rinsed, dried, and ready for a fresh recoat (which is usually the next step).
The Benefits
- ✓Allows a future recoat to actually bond
- ✓Removes the yellowing/cloudy look from wax buildup
- ✓No sanding — keeps your original stain and finish intact
- ✓Safer than DIY solvent stripping

“From the estimate, scheduling, crew, the process & finished product, absolutely fantastic. The fact that we didn't have to spend the night elsewhere, and the floors look more beautiful than when we had them sanded and restained. We highly recommend ReCoat Revolution!”

Common Questions About Wax Removal
How do I know if my floor has wax on it?
Drop a few beads of water on the floor. If the water beads up and rolls instead of soaking in within 5 minutes, you likely have wax or silicone on top of the finish. Another tell: a white cotton ball rubbed vigorously on the floor will yellow if wax is present.
Can I just keep waxing forever instead?
You can, but every wax layer must eventually be stripped before any professional refinish — and wax buildup yellows and hazes over time. Most homeowners give up waxing within 5–10 years once the maintenance cost exceeds a single professional recoat.
Does Murphy’s Oil Soap leave a residue like wax?
Yes. Despite the name, Murphy’s Oil Soap deposits a thin soap/oil film on polyurethane finishes that accumulates over time. It doesn’t require full wax removal to clean off, but our standard deep-clean service handles it.
