We have the Histology Lab floor stripped once a month, with no floor wax
applied.
The reason for no floor wax, we apply enough on our own.
This works great for us and have not had a problem for years.
It seems as when housekeeping would apply wax after stripping, then we did
our thing, over about a week the floor would become very slippery.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
