Commercial Floor Maintenance & Polishing in Ottawa
Hard Floor Cleaning & Polish Programs for Ottawa Businesses
Floors are the most expensive surface in your building to replace. Since 2013, ProClean Services has run commercial floor maintenance programs for Ottawa organizations including the City of Ottawa, the Government of Canada, Sobeys, Loblaws, CBRE and Ornge — keeping hard floors and carpet on a scheduled cycle instead of a crisis cycle. Trained, insured staff, standardized checklists, all equipment and supplies included, and GPS-tracked visit logging for proof of service on every appointment.
What a ProClean floor maintenance program includes
Every site runs on a standardized checklist — daily, weekly, monthly and semi-annual tasks — audited by supervisors so quality never drifts. A typical program covers:
- Stripping & waxing — full removal of old finish, deep clean, fresh sealer and finish coats
- Buffing & burnishing — restores gloss between strip-and-wax cycles and extends finish life
- Scrubbing & recoat — a lighter interim service that renews worn traffic lanes
- Hard floor care — VCT, vinyl, tile and grout, sealed concrete and polished surfaces
- Carpet cleaning & hot water extraction — deep cleaning, spot treatment, traffic-lane recovery
- Entrance & matting management — the highest-grit zone in any Ottawa building
- Vacuuming, dust mopping and damp mopping — included in our housekeeping and janitorial programs
We supply all equipment, machines and professional-grade products, so you never buy, rent or store floor care materials.
Hard floor care — VCT, vinyl, tile and concrete
Different substrates need different protocols. VCT and vinyl need a managed finish cycle — strip, seal, coat, then burnish on schedule. Tile and grout need periodic deep cleaning to keep grout lines from staining permanently. Sealed concrete needs the right pad and product, not a generic mop program. We assess what’s on your floor and build the cycle around it.
Commercial carpet cleaning in Ottawa
Carpet holds soil, grit and odour long before it looks dirty, and Ottawa’s sand-and-salt season accelerates all of it. Our commercial carpet cleaning uses hot water extraction to pull embedded soil out of the pile, with spot treatment and traffic-lane attention on entrances and corridors. For clinics and shared facilities, carpet care pairs directly with our sanitization services.

Frequently asked questions
How much does commercial floor cleaning cost in Ottawa?
Pricing depends on square footage, floor type, condition and frequency. Stripping and waxing is quoted per project or per cycle; recurring programs are usually a flat monthly rate. We quote after a free walk-through.
How often should commercial floors be stripped and waxed?
It depends on traffic and floor type. High-traffic areas need it more often than back-of-house space, and regular buffing between cycles stretches the interval considerably. We recommend a cadence after seeing the floor.
What's the difference between buffing, burnishing and stripping?
Buffing and burnishing polish and restore the existing finish. Stripping removes the finish entirely so new sealer and coats can be applied. Buffing is maintenance; stripping is a reset — and good maintenance means fewer resets.
Do you clean carpet as well as hard floors?
Yes. We provide commercial carpet cleaning and hot water extraction alongside hard floor care — VCT, vinyl, tile and grout, and sealed concrete — so one provider covers every surface.
Do you offer one-time floor cleaning, or only ongoing programs?
Both. We handle one-off projects like post-renovation restoration and move-out cleans, and we run scheduled recurring maintenance programs for buildings that want their floors managed rather than rescued.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Ottawa, Kanata and the surrounding communities.
