First, it's easy to determine square footage with the 12 inch square linoleum floor tiles. Simply count them horizontally and vertically and multiply. To example a room that is ten tiles wide and 8 tiles long (10 X 8 = 80) has eighty tiles. The next question is more difficult - how much wax buildup is on the floor. If you can address those two questions, you are on the way of havin the answer for how long it will take to strip the floor.

Before waxing, it's recommended that the floor be rinsed to clean, neutralize and remove excess stripper. Waxing will be much easier. It just needs to be applied smoothly and evenly. However, at least 2 coats should be applied
