In our own practical test, we were able to confirm that the cleaning agent has an effective cleaning effect and achieves good results on both tiles and parquet. The smell is pleasant and not overpowering. No foaming was observed in the water tank. The fragrance is pleasant and freshand the dilution and therefore the long shelf life of the concentrate is also very good.
