Oak parquet is a natural and hygienic floor covering. Germs, mites and other troublemakers don‘t stand a chance at parquet. Wood also has a natural antistatic effect and doesn’t attract dust – this combination makes our parquet particularly long-lasting and easy to care for. Vacuuming and, if necessary, wiping up damp is absolutely sufficient for the regular cleaning.
However, like all natural products, oak parquet is also subject to natural wear and tear, which is why an extra portion of cleaning and care might get necessary someday. In our specially designed range of cleaning and care products, you will find everything you need to maintain and strengthen the natural beauty and color intensity of your parquet floor over generations.
