Residential Floor Stripping and Waxing Services in South Carolina
Gibraltar Cleaning Services LLC, also known as GCS Cleans, restores tired floors for homeowners across South Carolina. We strip away old, yellowed, scuffed wax and apply fresh protective finish, so your floors look clean, bright, and cared for again. We use eco-friendly products, we back every job with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we have been serving homes since 2007.
Professional Floor Stripping and Waxing for South Carolina Homes
Over the years, layers of wax collect dirt, scuffs, and shoe marks. Regular mopping stops working because the grime is trapped inside the old finish, and the floor turns dull and yellow. In South Carolina, humidity, red clay tracked in from outside, and pollen season make the problem show up even faster in kitchens, entryways, and hallways.
Our stripping and waxing service removes the old finish completely and starts fresh. We strip the floor, scrub and rinse it clean, and apply new coats of floor finish for an even, easy-to-clean surface. Tell us about your floors, get a free quote, and pick a time that suits you.

Customer Reviews
What South Carolina Homeowners Say
My kitchen floor had so many layers of old wax it looked permanently yellow. GCS Cleans stripped it completely and re-waxed it and it looks like the original floor underneath. I had no idea it was supposed to look like that.
Brenda M.
📍 Columbia, SC
I manage a rental property and have used GCS Cleans for floor stripping and waxing between tenants for two years. The floors look professionally done every time and the tenants always comment on them during move-in.
Robert T.
📍 Lexington, SC
Got my whole downstairs done — kitchen, hallway, and laundry room — in one visit. The team was professional, fast, and the floors dried to a high gloss finish that looks genuinely impressive. Great service.
James A.
📍 West Columbia, SC
My VCT tile floors hadn’t been professionally stripped in years. GCS Cleans restored them completely in a single visit. The depth of the wax finish looks like a commercial building. Absolutely worth every dollar.
Sharon C.
📍 Chapin, SC
Every cleaning service I’d tried before just mopped over my floors. GCS Cleans actually stripped the old wax and reapplied it correctly. The difference in gloss and evenness is not subtle. These people know what they’re doing.

How Do Our Crews Strip and Wax Your Floors?
Good floor care is about patience and technique. Our crews start by testing the floor and protecting the surrounding walls and cabinets. We apply stripping solution, let it loosen the old finish, scrub it with a machine, and pick up the residue. After a full rinse and drying time, we apply thin coats of new finish, letting each coat dry before the next. Thin, even coats give a smoother, longer-lasting shine than one thick coat.
South Carolina humidity can slow drying, so we plan our timing around it and tell you exactly when the floor is ready to walk on.

What We Use for Residential Floor Care
A fresh floor should never come at the cost of your family’s health. We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions and floor finishes chosen for the floor type, together with commercial-grade scrubbing equipment that removes old buildup evenly. Hand tools take care of corners and edges the machine cannot reach. The result is a clean, uniform finish without gouges, haze, or missed spots.
