The Screening and Polishing Process
ABC Janitorial Services follows a comprehensive process to rejuvenate school floors and courts:
1. Assessment
Before diving in, the team assesses the condition of the surfaces. We look for scratches, dents, and any signs of wear. This evaluation informs the customized approach for each school.

Screening involves sanding the surface to remove imperfections. ABC Janitorial Services uses professional-grade sanding equipment to achieve a smooth finish. This step prepares the wood for the next phase.

Polishing is where the magic happens. ABC Janitorial Services applies a high-quality polish or sealant to protect the wood and enhance its natural beauty. The result? Gorgeous floors that look like new.
4. Drying and Curing
After polishing, the team allows sufficient drying and curing time. This ensures that the finish sets properly and withstands daily wear.
