In this collection, you’ll find products to clean, freshen up, and protect your floor.

Floor care for everyday use and long-lasting protection

Floors take a lot of wear and tear every day. Think of sand under shoes, stains in the kitchen, or heavy use in the hallway and living room. Regular floor cleaning helps keep your floor fresh, but the right product does more than just clean. It also helps protect the top layer and keep your floor looking beautiful for longer.

If you’re looking for a good cleaner for regular use, take a look at our floor cleaners. If you want extra protection against marks from use or wear, a floor protector is often a smart addition.

Which products suit your floor?

Not every floor needs the same approach. That’s why it’s important to choose based on material and use.

For PVC and vinyl

PVC and vinyl call for a gentle cleaner that cleans well without leaving a slippery or sticky layer behind. For this, have a look at the collection of cleaners for PVC floors, for example.

For laminate

With laminate, it’s important to use very little water and choose a product that’s suitable for this type of floor. In our collection of cleaners for laminate, you’ll find products that fit that need.

Buying guide: how to choose the right floor care

When choosing a product, pay attention to these points:

• First, look at the floor material, such as PVC, laminate, parquet, or tile.
• Choose a cleaner for regular cleaning and a protector if you want to give the floor extra care.
• If you have children, pets, or a lot of foot traffic in your home, choose a product suitable for intensive use.
• Prefer a product made specifically for your floor over an all-purpose cleaner.
• When using a new treatment, always test it first on a small, inconspicuous part of the floor.

Practical tips for cleaning and maintaining floors

Good floor care starts with the right routine. First remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner or dry mop so sand and dust don’t cause scratches. Then mop with a lightly damp mop rather than a wet one. Especially with laminate and other sensitive floors, too much water is not desirable.

Also, don’t use too much cleaning product. The right dosage prevents streaks and the build-up of residue on the floor. Ideally, work in two steps: clean first, then protect if needed. If you’re looking for more home maintenance products, take a look at our collection of maintenance products.

Frequently asked questions about floor care

How often should I clean my floor?

That depends on how much it’s used. In most households, vacuuming or sweeping a few times a week is enough, and mopping is usually once a week. In a busy household, more frequent cleaning may be needed.

Can I use one cleaner for all floors?

That isn’t always wise. Every floor has different properties. A product for PVC or laminate is often tailored to the top layer and gives better results than a general cleaner.

What is the difference between a cleaner and a protector?

A cleaner removes dirt and stains. A protector helps keep the floor looking neat for longer and can provide extra support for the top layer against daily use.

Why do I get streaks after mopping?

Streaks are often caused by too much water, too high a dosage of cleaner, or dirt that hasn’t been removed properly first. Use a clean mop and keep the floor lightly damp.

Which floor care is best for PVC or laminate?

For both floors, it’s best to choose a product specially developed for that material. That way, you know you’re cleaning safely and caring for the floor properly without unnecessary residue or damage.
