Commercial parquet floors usually get scratched to pieces, but they're
re-finished (wax and buffer) so frequently that it's removed as fast

Yes, that occurred to me later, the army of cleaners with polish mops was a
daily occurrence ad I discovered when I started working at the school and
sometimes stayed late.
