Deep floor cleaning for offices and commercial premises

Kontorikoristus 24 performs deep floor cleaning on stone, vinyl and carpeted floors of office buildings across Tallinn and Harju County, using equipment and tools brought with them. The method is chosen according to the floor material: stone and granite are crystallized or polished, vinyl is waxed in layers, and the carpet is cleaned either by the encapsulation method or by hot water extraction.

The wrong method damages the floor more than the dirt itself: a diamond pad that is too coarse leaves micro-scratches in the stone, where dirt accumulates more quickly in the future. Therefore, the site supervisor inspects the floor on site without charge and measures the surface before preparing a quote. In 2025, floor maintenance operators performed 183 floor jobs.

Four methods of deep floor cleaning

the site supervisor chooses the method according to the floor material: polishing the stone floor, machine washing the floors, waxing the floors or deep cleaning the carpets. From 2009 to the end of 2025, there were 1,421 of these jobs: machine washing 627, waxing 318, stone floor polishing and crystallization 219, and carpet deep cleaning 257.

  • An operator with headphones polishes the shiny gray floor of the stairwell with a single-disc floor machine, no wax is applied to the polished stone, because the wax turns the area yellowish.

    Stone floor polishing

    Stone floor polishing goes through the granite or marble surface with progressively finer grits, 400, 800 and 1500, with a rotating machine at 175 revolutions per minute, revealing the stone's natural shine without a chemical coating.

    During crystallization, a chemical crystallization fluid is applied to the stone surface, which reacts with the heat of the machine to form a shiny surface layer that is harder than the calcite of the stone itself, and this method is for a lobby with heavy foot traffic.

  • The operator washes the dark tile floor of the elevator lobby with a single-disc floor machine and foam, the wall surface around the elevator call button is also disinfected for 30 centimeters, because the wait staff rests their hand next to the button.

    Machine floor cleaning

    machine floor cleaning uses a scrubber-dryer on a large hard surface, because mopping circulates the washing water there and moves the dirt from one place to another.

    During machine washing, touch surfaces in contact with the floor are also disinfected, such as the lower threshold area of the elevator and the edge of the entrance entrance mat, for which you can find more detailed technical indicators on the machine floor cleaning page.

  • The operator controls the vacuum cleaner on the light stone floor of the shopping center between the shops, the wheels of the vacuum cleaner are made of non-marking rubber and do not leave marks on the stone.

    Floor waxing

    Waxing floors first completely removes the old layer of wax with a stripper, then 3 coats of new wax are applied to the clean vinyl with 40 minutes of drying time between each coat.

    After waxing, Kontorikoristus 24 will send a written summary to the client at the end of the month about the covered surface and the amount of wax used, because a vinyl floor with a coating that is already more than 10 years old requires significantly more wax during the first waxing than when re-coating later.

  • The operator controls the vacuum cleaner on the dark marble-patterned floor of the lobby, after washing, the dark floor is inspected with a low-point flashlight, in the light of which every unwashed strip immediately stands out.

    Carpet deep cleaning

    Deep cleaning of carpets chooses the method according to the drying time: the encapsulation method breaks the dirt into a crystalline powder that is removed with a vacuum cleaner and the carpet is ready for use after 4 hours, hot water extraction cleans more deeply and the carpet dries after 24 hours.

    Kontorikoristus 24 cleans the strip of carpet along the glass walls separately after washing the windows and glass surfaces, because the washing liquid dripping from the scraper ends up there.

Deep floor cleaning prices

The price is calculated according to the floor material and the chosen method.

ServicePrice
Machine floor cleaningFrom €1.20/m²
Waxing the floors, 3 layersFrom €1.50/m²
Stone floor polishingFrom €3.80/m²
Stone floor crystallisationFrom €4.50/m²
Carpet deep cleaning by encapsulationFrom €1.90/m²
Carpet deep cleaning by hot water extractionFrom €1.90/m²
On-site floor material assessment0 €

The main factors affecting the price:

  • floor material: stone, vinyl or carpet require a different technique and tool
  • the condition of the old coating, worn wax or micro-scratches on the stone add to the preparation time
  • the size of the floor area in square metres and the amount of furniture that needs to be moved before washing
  • access time: during the working day or in the evening
  • frequency of repeated washing, the first waxing on a worn floor requires more material than a maintenance cycle

How long does deep cleaning of floors take?

Machine washing a 480 square meter open office space with a scrubber-dryer takes 3 hours for one operator, because the machine moves on the area with a 1 meter wide track and there is a small overlapping area between each track so that the dirt does not get stuck anywhere.

Waxing a vinyl floor on 200 square meters takes 6 hours including removing the old wax: stripping with a stripper 2 hours, 3 layers of new wax with a drying time of 4 hours.

It takes 4 hours to crystallize the stone floor on 150 square meters in the lobby, because the machine stops in each area until the heat has reacted with the crystallization liquid.

The carpet encapsulation method on 300 square meters dries in 4 hours and the tables can be pushed back immediately after drying, hot water extraction on the same surface needs 24 hours to dry, so it is planned for Friday evening. Of the 183 floor jobs in 2025, 81 were machine washed, 41 were waxed, 28 were polished or crystallized stone floors, and 33 were carpet deep cleaned.

A cleaner operates a floor machine in an office with an armchair and a cabinet, a single-disc floor machine was purchased in 2012 for stone floors in downtown lobbies.
The operator controls the single-disc floor machine in the marble lobby of a commercial building, there is a gray conveyor belt on the floor in front of the machine and glass front doors at the back, the main door of the lobby is closed during crystallization and visitors use the side doors.

How the service works

Three steps from inquiry to finished floor.

  1. 1. Material Identification and Inspection

    the site supervisor detects the condition of the floor material and the old coating, measures the area and checks whether the furniture needs to be moved during the work. For stone, a small area is tested to decide between polishing and crystallization.

  2. 2. Schedule around drying time

    The schedule is prepared according to the drying time of the chosen method: waxing and hot water extraction are planned for Friday evening or the weekend, the encapsulation method and machine washing fit into the working day.

  3. 3. Cleaning and handover

    After work, the site supervisor notes the condition of the floor on the monthly checklist and plans the next maintenance round before the coating wears out.

How to Choose a Floor Care Method

The method is determined by the floor material, the amount of foot traffic and the allowed drying time.

For stone and granite floors

In a lobby with heavy traffic, the floor is crystallized because the crystallization layer is harder than calcite and lasts longer. In a less busy meeting room, polishing is sufficient, which preserves the more natural look of the stone.

For vinyl flooring

Corridors and open office areas where the old wax layer is faded or scratched are suitable for complete stripper removal and 3-layer waxing, rather than just applying one layer on top of the old layer.

For carpeted rooms

The encapsulation method with a drying time of 4 hours is suitable for rooms that must be in use on the same day. A more comprehensive hot water extraction is suitable for rooms that can be left empty for the weekend.

Frequently asked questions

How does crystallisation differ from polishing?

Polishing uses only diamond pads and the friction of the machine, crystallization applies a chemical liquid to the area, which reacts with the heat of the machine to form a shiny layer that is harder than the material of the stone itself. Crystallization lasts longer under heavy foot traffic.

How many coats of wax do you apply to vinyl?

After the old wax layer is completely removed, 3 layers of new wax are applied to the clean vinyl, leaving 40 minutes drying time between each layer. Fewer layers leaves the coating thinner and wears off faster.

Should carpet be cleaned by encapsulation or extraction?

The encapsulation method is suitable for rooms that must be used the same day, as the carpet is dry after 4 hours. Hot water extraction cleans more deeply and the carpet dries after 24 hours, so it is done on Friday night.

Can you machine clean smaller floor areas?

Machine washing is the method for open office space and corridors, in small rooms and corners, the floor is washed by hand with a mop. The boundary is set by the site supervisor during the inspection according to the shape of the room and the arrangement of the furniture.

How often should vinyl floors be waxed?

The frequency of waxing is determined by the amount of foot traffic and wear of the wax layer. The site supervisor notes the condition of the floor on the monthly checklist and sets the next waxing month based on this.

Does furniture need to be moved before floor cleaning?

No. Lighter items are pushed to the other end of the room and washed in parts, heavier cabinets and shelves remain in place and the floor beneath them is washed by hand. The need for a larger relocation is already agreed upon during the inspection.

How much does deep floor cleaning cost?

machine floor cleaning starts from 1.20 euros per square meter and waxing from 1.50 euros per square meter. Stone floor polishing costs from 3.80, crystallization from 4.50 and deep cleaning of carpets from 1.90 euros per square meter.
