The Kadosh 5-Step Floor Care Process

Every step is deliberate. Every shortcut is refused. This is the process behind every mirror-finish floor Kadosh delivers across Atlanta.

01

On-Site Floor Assessment & Diagnosis

Every Kadosh engagement begins with a thorough on-site or virtual floor assessment, the same process used across all our commercial service plans. We evaluate your floor type, existing wax buildup, traffic patterns, chemical history, and scheduling constraints before recommending a single product or technique. No guesswork. No surprises on the invoice.
02

Precision Chemical Stripping

Old wax layers are fully removed using professional-grade stripping solutions calibrated to your specific floor material. Our automatic scrubbers with variable pressure settings ensure complete wax removal without damaging the floor substrate, a critical step that amateur crews and rental machines consistently fail. Corners and edges are hand-detailed; they are the #1 failure point in substandard strip jobs.
03

pH Neutralization & Surface Preparation

After stripping, the floor is thoroughly rinsed and pH-neutralized to remove all chemical residue. This step is non-negotiable for proper wax adhesion. Skipping pH neutralization, a common shortcut, causes premature wax failure, fish-eye spots, and cloudy finishes. Kadosh's trained technicians never skip it.
04

High-Solids Professional Finish Application

We apply 4–6 coats of professional-grade, high-solids floor finish (Betco, ZEP Commercial, Diversey, NCL), not the low-solids consumer products available at hardware stores. Each coat is allowed to dry fully (20–30 minutes) before the next is applied. Higher solids content means greater durability, deeper shine, and longer intervals between service cycles.
01

High-Speed Burnishing to Mirror Finish + Final QC Inspection

The final coat is burnished at 1,500–2,000 RPM to achieve the mirror-finish that defines a professionally maintained floor. Kadosh's self-monitoring quality control process, built into our structured training program, requires a documented final inspection before any crew leaves a facility. You will never receive a floor that hasn't been verified by our QC standard.

Scheduled After Hours. Ready by Morning.

Kadosh crews arrive after your facility closes and complete the full 5-step process before you open. Zero disruption to your operations , a real commitment, not just a talking point.

Floor Materials We Service

Every floor material has different chemistry, different failure modes, and different professional requirements. Kadosh's trained technicians know the difference, and calibrate every job accordingly.

Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT)

Where Found

The most common commercial floor in Atlanta, offices, schools, healthcare, retail.

Why Professional Care Matters

VCT is porous and requires a protective wax finish to prevent staining, scuffing, and premature wear. Without regular strip and wax cycles, VCT becomes permanently discolored.

DIY Risk

Consumer-grade wax builds up in uneven layers, trapping dirt and creating a yellow, hazy appearance that buffing alone cannot fix.

How Kadosh Calibrates

Kadosh calibrates stripping chemical dwell time and scrubber pressure specifically for VCT composition to ensure complete removal without tile damage.

Luxury Vinyl Tile / Plank (LVT/LVP)

Where Found

Increasingly common in modern Atlanta offices, upscale retail, and renovated healthcare facilities.

Why Professional Care Matters

LVT has a factory finish that requires specific low-solids products. Applying standard VCT wax to LVT causes peeling, hazing, and voided warranties.

DIY Risk

Using the wrong chemical on LVT permanently damages the wear layer, a costly mistake that requires full floor replacement.

How Kadosh Calibrates

Kadosh identifies LVT during the initial assessment and uses manufacturer-approved maintenance products to protect the wear layer and restore gloss.

Ceramic & Porcelain Tile (C&P)

Where Found

Restaurant kitchens, hospital corridors, retail restrooms, and lobby areas throughout Atlanta.

Why Professional Care Matters

Grout lines accumulate bacteria, grease, and mineral deposits that standard mopping cannot address. Tile surfaces lose their factory sheen under heavy commercial traffic.

DIY Risk

Incorrect chemical selection etches ceramic glazing and permanently damages grout — visible immediately and irreversible without re-grouting.

How Kadosh Calibrates

Kadosh uses pH-appropriate cleaners and targeted grout treatment tools to restore tile appearance without surface damage.

Concrete (Polished or Sealed) (CON)

Where Found

Warehouses, industrial facilities, modern retail, and restaurant dining areas across the Atlanta metro.

Why Professional Care Matters

Polished concrete requires periodic resealing to maintain its reflective finish and prevent oil penetration, forklift tire marks, and surface degradation.

DIY Risk

Applying floor wax to polished concrete creates a cloudy, peeling film that is extremely difficult to remove and ruins the aesthetic.

How Kadosh Calibrates

Kadosh distinguishes between sealed, polished, and raw concrete and applies the appropriate densifier, guard, or maintenance coat for each surface type.

Terrazzo (TRZ)

Where Found

Historic Atlanta buildings, government facilities, universities, and upscale hotel lobbies.

Why Professional Care Matters

Terrazzo is a premium surface that requires specialized diamond-pad polishing and sealing, not standard floor wax, to maintain its distinctive appearance.

DIY Risk

Standard stripping chemicals and floor wax permanently etch terrazzo’s marble aggregate and destroy its natural luster.

How Kadosh Calibrates

Kadosh’s team is trained in terrazzo-specific maintenance protocols, using the correct pH-neutral cleaners and penetrating sealers to preserve this valuable surface.

Hardwood (Commercial Grade) (HWD)

Where Found

Upscale Atlanta restaurants, hotel ballrooms, corporate boardrooms, and boutique retail.

Why Professional Care Matters

Commercial hardwood requires periodic screening and recoating to maintain its finish and prevent moisture penetration, especially critical in Atlanta’s humid climate.

DIY Risk

Water-based floor wax on hardwood causes swelling, warping, and finish delamination. Stripping chemicals can permanently bleach or dissolve hardwood finishes.

How Kadosh Calibrates

Kadosh evaluates hardwood finish type (polyurethane, oil, wax) before any treatment and applies only hardwood-appropriate maintenance products.

Not Sure What Floor You Have?

We'll identify it during your free assessment and recommend the exact treatment your floor needs, no guesswork, no upselling.

Zero Cross-Contamination
All Kadosh equipment is calibrated, cleaned, and sanitized between every facility. Your hospital floor will never be serviced with equipment that was just used in a warehouse.

Professional Equipment. Not Rental Machines.

The difference between a professional floor care result and an amateur one is not technique alone, it is equipment. Kadosh invests in commercial-grade machinery that rental companies and budget competitors simply do not carry. High

High-Speed Burnishers (1,500–2,000 RPM)

Professional-grade burnishers operating at 1,500–2,000 RPM generate the friction and heat necessary to achieve a true mirror finish. Consumer and rental machines typically operate at 175–300 RPM, producing a dull, flat result that fades within days.

Automatic Scrubbers with Variable Pressure

Variable-pressure automatic scrubbers allow Kadosh technicians to calibrate agitation force to each floor type, aggressive enough to remove all wax buildup on VCT, gentle enough to protect LVT wear layers. One setting does not fit all floors.

Industrial Water Recovery Systems

Complete water recovery prevents slip hazards during service and eliminates the moisture that causes wax adhesion failure. Every drop of stripping solution is recovered before the next step begins.

HEPA Filtration Systems

Critical for healthcare and medical facilities, Kadosh's HEPA filtration prevents airborne particulates generated during stripping and burnishing from contaminating patient areas, clean rooms, or food preparation zones.

Professional-Grade Chemical Lines

Kadosh uses Betco, ZEP Commercial, Diversey, and NCL professional chemical lines, products with 17–25% solids content versus the 8–12% found in consumer products. Higher solids means greater durability, deeper gloss, and longer service intervals.

Detail Edging Tools

Corners, edges, and baseboards are the #1 failure point in amateur strip and wax jobs. Kadosh's detail edging tools reach where automatic scrubbers cannot, ensuring a complete, uniform finish across the entire floor, not just the open field.

How Often Should You Strip & Wax?

Georgia's red clay, humidity, and high-traffic commercial seasons accelerate floor wear faster than national averages. Build your calendar around Atlanta's rhythm, not generic national guidelines.

Recommended Frequency by Segment

  • Hospitals & Healthcare: Every 2–3 months
  • Restaurants & Food Service: Every 3 months minimum
  • Retail & Shopping Centers: Every 3–4 months
  • Corporate Offices: Every 6 months
  • Schools & Universities: Annually (summer) + mid-year buffing
  • Hotels: Quarterly lobbies; semi-annual corridors
  • Warehouses & Industrial: Semi-annual or post heavy inventory

Warning Signs It's Time Right Now

  • Yellow or brown discoloration (wax oxidation)
  • Scuff tracks that buffing alone cannot remove
  • Flat, dull appearance after mopping
  • Fish-eye spots (chemical contamination in wax layers)
  • Black heel marks embedded in wax, not surface level
  • Health inspector flagged floor condition
