FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 1) What is floor buffing, and what does it actually do? Floor buffing restores the look of the top surface because it polishes the finish that sits on the floor. It can reduce scuffs, dull haze, and light marks. It makes the floor look brighter and more even. It does not rebuild missing coating. 2) What is the difference between buffing and burnishing? Buffing is a polishing method that improves the surface look because it smooths and lifts light marks. Burnishing is usually a higher-speed polish that aims for more gloss. Both focus on the top finish layer. The best option depends on the floor type and condition. 3) Can floor buffing remove scratches? Buffing can reduce light scratches in the finish because it blends small surface marks. Buffing will not remove deep scratches that cut through the coating. Serious damage often needs recoating or restoration. A quick inspection helps confirm the right fix. 4) How long do floor buffing results last? Results last longer when cleaning is consistent because grit and harsh chemicals dull the finish. In low traffic areas, results can last longer than in entries and corridors. Entry mats and daily dust mopping make a big difference. A maintenance plan extends the “after” look. 5) How often should commercial floors be buffed? Commercial floors are buffed more often when traffic is heavy because scuffs and haze return faster. Many sites do it on a routine schedule that matches foot traffic. Some locations only need targeted spot work in traffic lanes. The right timing depends on the floor type and use. 6) Is floor buffing slippery after it is done? A floor can be slippery if it is left wet or if residues remain because moisture reduces traction. We manage this by controlling work zones, drying, and warning signs. Good cleaning practices reduce slip risk. Always follow site safety steps during wet work. 7) Can you buff vinyl (VCT) floors? Many vinyl and VCT floors can be buffed when they have a suitable finish because buffing works on the coating layer. The result depends on how worn the finish is. If the coating is thin or patchy, buffing alone may not be enough. A small test area can confirm the outcome. 8) When do I need strip and seal instead of buffing? You need to strip and seal when the coating is worn through because buffing cannot replace missing layers. You may also need it when stains sit under an old finish or when the floor looks patchy after buffing. Strip and seal is a reset step that rebuilds protection. It usually has more downtime than buffing. 9) How long does it take to buff a commercial floor? Time depends on size and condition because scuff levels and prep needs change the job length. Small areas can be done in 1 to 2 hours. Larger sites may take half a day or more, or be staged after hours. Access and furniture also affect time. 10) How do I maintain the shine after buffing? Shine lasts longer when you remove grit early because grit scratches the finish. Use a neutral cleaner and avoid harsh degreasers on finished floors. Place entry mats and clean them often. Spot clean scuffs in traffic lanes before they build up.

Floor Buffing Before and After 

December 26, 2025
Shahzaib

Floor buffing before and after is the visible change you get when we polish the top layer of a hard floor so it looks cleaner, brighter, and more even. The “before” shows scuffs, dull traffic lanes, and a flat finish. The “after” shows a clearer shine and fewer marks. In this post, you will see real results from our work, including how long they last and when you...
