Prevent or eliminate surprises before stripping a floor by performing an initial test to determine the amount of sealer or finish already on the floor.

Test how much finish is on the floor by mixing a trigger sprayer of the same stripper you plan to use on the floor and make sure it is the same dilution. Mist the diluted stripper onto the floor (apply enough stripper to soften the finish, but not enough to suspend it). After a few minutes of dwell time, scrape the floor with a putty knife or a razor blade scraper to see how much finish is present. On the other hand, if only a small amount of finish is visible on the end of the scraper that is an indication there is very little sealer or finish present on the floor. Then you can take the appropriate measures to address the amount of finish present, ensuring a proper floor stripping and adequate staffing to complete the job in the right amount of time.
