Strip & Wax Floor Care Vendor (Subcontract) – Tampa Bay

E2E Cleaning Services • Tampa, FL

13d • Onsite

About The Position

E2E Cleaning Services is building a shortlist of registered floor care businesses to provide project-based strip and wax services at commercial client sites across Tampa Bay, including offices, medical clinics, schools, and community centers. Vendors are contacted as projects arise, receive a defined scope, quote a price per square foot, and begin only after E2E approves the quote. Work concludes with a walkthrough alongside an E2E supervisor, and invoices are paid net 30.

Each project includes preparation and protection of furniture and surrounding surfaces; stripping with appropriate products, dilution, and dwell time; thorough slurry removal and rinsing or neutralizing; sealing or hardening where appropriate; application of thin, even finish coats with proper drying time; cleanup and furniture replacement; and a final walkthrough with any needed touch-ups. Vendors must use E2E-approved products and provide their own crew, transportation, and equipment.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience providing strip and wax services; this is a minimum.
• A registered floor care business.
• General liability insurance and a certificate of insurance before the first project.
• Workers’ compensation insurance if the vendor has employees.
• A W-9.
• Use of E2E-approved products; vendors must identify their stripper, neutralizer, sealer or hardener, and finish, and explain why they use them. Vendors may be asked whether they are willing to switch products if theirs are not approved.
• Own equipment, including a floor machine with appropriate pads, wet vacuum, edge tools, finish applicators, and a burnisher.
• Before-and-after photos of recent commercial jobs and three commercial references.
• Availability nights and weekends when buildings are empty.
• A reliable crew and transportation for equipment.
• Ability to complete the application and answer technical questions about work methods.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with commercial kitchen floors, including proper degreasing of quarry tile and grout.
• Experience with auto-scrubber deep cleaning of hard floors, including appropriate pad or brush selection, solution dilution, overlapping passes, and squeegee technique.
• Experience with burnishing programs and terrazzo.
• Knowledge of which floors should not be stripped, including most factory-finished LVT and LVP.
• Use of low-odor products for buildings that open early the next morning.

Responsibilities

• Prepare work areas by moving or protecting furniture, dust mopping, protecting baseboards, walls, door frames, furniture legs, and carpet edges, and setting up signs and barriers.
• Strip floors using an appropriate stripper, dilution, and dwell time; scrape edges and corners; pick up slurry; and rinse or neutralize the floor and check for leftover finish.
• Apply sealer or hardener where appropriate, followed by thin, even coats of floor finish with adequate drying time and clean edges without buildup.
• Remove finish splatter or overspray from surfaces and furnishings, dispose of slurry properly, and return furniture to its place.
• Complete a final walkthrough with the E2E supervisor and perform touch-ups before leaving.
• Provide a price per square foot for each project after receiving its scope and obtain E2E approval before starting work.
• Provide product brand and name details and explain product selection; use only E2E-approved products.
• Submit before-and-after photos of recent commercial work and three commercial references as part of the application.
• Invoice E2E for completed projects.

Benefits

• Project work from a growing commercial cleaning company with clients across Florida.
• Clear project scope before quoting, including square footage, floor type, condition, and access window.
• Repeat projects for vendors whose work passes the walkthrough.
• One point of contact and an E2E supervisor at the walkthrough.
