Instastrip – Heavy-Duty Floor Polish & UHS Burnished Coating Stripper
Effortlessly liquefy heavy polish build-up, tough wax layers, floor sealers, and ultra-high-speed (UHS) burnished finishes with the industrial-grade Instastrip floor stripper. Over time, layered floor polishes on resilient flooring age, yellow, and suffer from heavy burnishing, making standard floor cleaners completely ineffective for removal. Improper stripping chemicals often result in tedious, manual scraping, excessive foam that ruins auto-scrubber vacuum motors, or harsh ammonia fumes that compromise operator safety. Instastrip is professionally engineered to eliminate these exact operational failures. Designed for use with powered scrubbing machinery, its fast-acting, high-pH (pH 12) formula begins to liquefy and emulsify aged coatings immediately upon contact, streamlining floor restoration across vinyl, linoleum, and other hard surfaces.
Beyond its aggressive coating-emulsifying power, Instastrip is formulated with ultra-low-foam technology. This critical feature prevents foam entry into extraction machinery and vacuum motors, protecting expensive auto-scrubbers and wet vacuums from motor burnout during slurry recovery. Operating with a low-odour profile that is completely free of harsh ammonia fumes or high-VOC solvents, it delivers a user-friendly experience in enclosed commercial buildings, hospitals, and educational facilities. Whether managing routine maintenance in high-traffic retail spaces or stripping heavy UHS burnished coats off commercial vinyl floors, Instastrip delivers fast, labor-saving performance even at high dilution ratios.
Who Is Instastrip Ideal For?
Instastrip delivers high-pH chemical emulsification, ultra-low-foaming safety, and fast coating liquification. It is highly recommended for:
-
Commercial Facility Maintenance Teams: Stripping aged wax and polish build-up off vinyl and resilient floors in supermarkets, shopping centers, and office buildings.
-
Healthcare & Education Janitorial Staff: Deep-cleaning and stripping floor finishes in enclosed, inhabited corridors where low-odour, ammonia-free chemicals are required.
-
Floor Restoration Contractors: Preparing commercial vinyl, natural stone, ceramic, and concrete floors for fresh sealer application using rotary scrubbers or auto-scrubbers.
-
Industrial Property Operations: Removing stubborn, discoloured seals and heavy soil build-up from rubber, vinyl, and masonry floor areas.
