Commercial Vinyl Floor Cleaning Services
Vinyl truly is the reliable champion of commercial flooring. It’s known for being durable and budget-friendly, making it a popular choice. In busy areas such as hospitals, schools, supermarkets, and offices, it endures quite a lot. Over time, the protective wax layer on VCT wears down, dirt gets caught in the textured surface of safety flooring, and LVT gradually loses its original shine, but its resilience often keeps it going strong.
At Westlink Commercial Cleaning, we go beyond simple mopping. We provide professional commercial vinyl floor cleaning and restoration services. We use industrial rotary scrubbers to agitate deep-seated grime and commercial-grade polymer sealers to restore the protective barrier.

What's Included in Our Commercial Vinyl Floor Cleaning Service
We provide a tailored approach depending on whether your floor is vinyl sheet, plank, or tile.
When you book Westlink Commercial Cleaning for professional vinyl restoration, you receive:
For VCT and standard vinyl: We chemically remove old, yellowed layers of wax and sealer, strip the floor back to its base, and apply 3-5 coats of premium commercial-grade acrylic polish.
For floors that don’t need full stripping, we perform a “cut and coat” heavy machine scrubbing to remove the top dirty layer of sealer, followed by fresh coats of vinyl floor polish to restore the shine.
Specialised agitation using pH-neutral LVT floor cleaners to lift dirt from the textured grain of planks without damaging the wear layer.
Using cylindrical brush machines to penetrate the non-slip grit of safety flooring (common in commercial kitchens), removing grease and bacteria that mops cannot reach.
Thermal burnishing using high-RPM machines to harden the sealer and create a durable, “wet-look” finish that resists scuffs.
Specialised care for natural linoleum (Marmoleum), using pH-specific cleaners to prevent alkali damage while restoring the surface finish.
Targeted removal of black rubber heel marks, adhesive residue, and chemical stains using appropriate industrial vinyl floor cleaners.
Application of non-slip sealers that meet Australian Standard AS 4586, ensuring your shiny floors are also safe to walk on.
We carefully relocate light furniture to ensure edge-to-edge cleaning and protection of your assets
We re-clean at no charge if you’re not completely satisfied with the results.

Why Your Commercial Vinyl Floors Need Professional Maintenance
Many facility managers believe a daily mop is sufficient. However, mopping often spreads dirty water into the pores of the vinyl.
Here is why professional vinyl floor maintenance is essential.
Restore the “New Floor” Shine
Vinyl sealers (wax) naturally degrade and turn yellow due to UV light and dirt embedment. A professional vinyl floor stripping and waxing service removes this dead layer, revealing the bright, clean floor underneath and making your premises look brand new.
Extend Flooring Lifespan
Sand and grit act like sandpaper under foot traffic, scratching the vinyl wear layer. By maintaining a sacrificial layer of polish (sealer), you protect the actual flooring material. Regular maintenance prevents permanent damage that leads to expensive replacement.
Improve Hygiene and Safety
Textured safety flooring and luxury vinyl planks trap bacteria and grease in their grooves. This creates slip hazards and hygiene issues, especially in medical or food service environments. Our vinyl floor scrubber technology extracts these contaminants, improving slip resistance and sanitation.
Eliminate Ugly Build-Up
Inexperienced cleaners often apply new wax over dirty wax. This “sandwiching” effect locks dirt into the floor, causing discolouration that cannot be mopped away. We strip this build-up completely to reset the floor’s appearance.
Compliance with Warranty
Many manufacturers (like Armstrong, Karndean, or Tarkett) require professional maintenance logs to keep warranties valid. Our services use compliant chemicals and processes that adhere to manufacturer guidelines.
Types of Vinyl Floors We Clean Across Sydney
Different vinyl floors require vastly different chemistry. Using a stripper on the wrong floor can ruin it. Our technicians are trained to identify and treat each type correctly
Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT)
The standard "supermarket" or school tile. These require a robust maintenance program of stripping, sealing, and regular buffing to maintain their gloss and durability.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) & Tile (LVT)
Designed to look like wood or stone. Unlike VCT, these often have a factory wear layer that shouldn't be stripped with harsh chemicals. We use specific LVP cleaners and agitation pads to deep clean without damaging the print film.
Safety Flooring (Non-Slip)
Common in commercial kitchens, ramps, and bathrooms. These floors have aggressive grit aggregates. We use cylindrical brush scrubbers to clean between the grit, removing the grease film that renders them slippery.
Linoleum (Marmoleum)
Often confused with vinyl, but made from natural materials (linseed oil). It is sensitive to high-pH strippers. We use specialised linoleum cleaning service protocols to clean and re-seal without causing "linoleum burn."

Common Vinyl Floor Problems We Solve
Yellowing and Discolouration
Caused by an old sealer or UV damage. We perform a full strip and polish to remove the yellowed layers and apply UV-stable coatings.
Peeling or Flaking Polish
Often caused by applying sealer to a dirty or wet floor. We strip the floor back to the substrate and ensure proper pH neutralisation before re-sealing to ensure perfect adhesion.
Dull, Hazy Appearance
Caused by using the wrong detergent (high alkaline) or dirty mop water. We rinse and buff the floor to restore clarity.
Black Scuff Marks
Rubber heels leave stubborn marks. Our high-speed burnishing and spot treatment remove these instantly.
Sticky Surface
Caused by using too much detergent or a “rinse-free” cleaner that leaves residue. We extract the residue to leave the floor clean and smooth.
Our Commercial Vinyl Cleaning Process
We follow a strict WHS-compliant restoration workflow to ensure consistent results.
1. Inspection & Testing
We identify the flooring type (VCT vs. LVT) and test the condition of the existing sealer to determine the correct industrial vinyl floor cleaner strength.
2. Safety Setup
We install "Wet Floor" signage, exclusion tape, and barriers to prevent foot traffic during the restoration process.
3. Dust & Debris Removal
Thorough sweeping and vacuuming to remove loose grit that could scratch the floor during scrubbing.
4. Chemical Application (Stripping or Cleaning)
We apply the stripping solution or heavy-duty degreaser and allow it to dwell. This breaks the bond between the old wax and the floor.
5. Mechanical Agitation
We use a vinyl floor scrubber (rotary machine) with the appropriate pad (black for stripping, red/blue for scrubbing) to physically lift the old sealer and soil.
6. Slurry Extraction
We use industrial wet-vacuums to suck up the dissolved wax and dirt slurry. This is critical, mops just push it around.
7. Neutralisation
We rinse the floor with pH-neutral water. If the floor is alkaline, the new sealer will not stick.
8. Sealing & Polishing
We apply multiple thin coats of commercial vinyl floor wax/polish. We allow sufficient drying time between coats to ensure a hard, durable finish.
Equipment and Cleaning Solutions We Use
Professional results require professional gear.
- Polivac Rotary Scrubbers: Industry-standard machines for deep stripping and agitation.
- Suction Polishers (Burnishers): High-speed machines for creating a “wet look” shine on VCT.
- Cylindrical Brush Scrubbers: For deep cleaning textured LVT and safety floors.
- Commercial Wet Vacuums: For 100% removal of chemical slurry.
- Premium Acrylic Sealers: We use top-tier sealers (e.g., Diversey, Agar, Oates) that provide superior durability compared to hardware store brands.
- pH Neutral Floor Cleaners: For safe maintenance of luxury vinyl flooring.
Safety Protocols During Vinyl Floor Cleaning
Slip Hazard Management
Stripping floors creates an extremely slippery surface. We strictly manage exclusion zones and use spotters to ensure no staff or public enter the area until it is dry and safe.
Chemical Safety (SDS)
We carry Safety Data Sheets for all stripping agents and sealers. We ensure adequate ventilation to manage any odours during the vinyl floor stripping and waxing process.
SafeWork NSW Compliance
Our team follows strict SWMS regarding manual handling and electrical safety in wet environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should VCT floors be stripped and sealed?
For high-traffic areas (supermarkets, schools, lobbies), we recommend a full strip and seal every 12 months, with a scrub and re-coat every 6 months. Low-traffic offices may only need it every 18-24 months.
Can you clean Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) without damaging it?
Yes. LVP should generally not be stripped like VCT. We use a deep clean vinyl floor process with neutral detergents and soft agitation to clean the planks without damaging the photographic layer or edges.
How long does the floor take to dry?
After the final coat of sealer, the floor is usually touch-dry in 30-45 minutes. We recommend keeping traffic off for at least 4 hours to allow the sealer to cure and harden.
Do you use strong smelling chemicals?
We use modern, low-odour stripping agents wherever possible. However, if strong stripping is required, we arrange for proper ventilation or schedule the work after hours to avoid disrupting your staff.
What is the difference between buffing and stripping?
Buffing (or burnishing) uses a high-speed pad to heat and shine the existing wax. Stripping removes the old wax completely so new wax can be applied.
