More and more people when choosing a finishing material for the floor prefer the laminate. Such a noticeable demand for laminate flooring is quite justified, because it has an affordable price, just fits and can boast of excellent performance properties.

Laminate polishing costs only three times a year. In this regard, it is important to choose a high-quality polish that is designed for the laminate to perform these works. Parquet polish is not suitable for laminate flooring. This should not be forgotten. This is explained by the fact that the laminate has a protective film on the surface. Therefore, wax products negatively affect the laminate. As a result, ugly spots appear on it.

Polishes in the form of sprays and mastics are applied directly to the surface and thoroughly rubbed. Such products protect the coating from external factors for longer.
