Special care for your beloved parquet

The timeless classic conjures up a cosy flair in every home. This treasure needs to be cared for - so it's no wonder that manufacturers often offer special cleaning products for their floors. For fear of doing something wrong, customers resort to special soaps, which are often disproportionately expensive and "only" clean the floor.

Sustainably clean with ecological cleaners

The eMC cleaners are extremely gentle and powerful at the same time, and can be dosed very sparingly. Surfaces that are cleaned with them are given a slightly silky sheen and remain dust-free for longer - very practical! Used regularly, your floors will therefore stay clean for longer: a big plus for your parquet flooring, which should only be wet-cleaned when it is really necessary.

The cleaners can also be used on very sensitive floors with a clear conscience. If you are still unsure, try it out in a hidden area first.

The little extra for your plants: after mopping, you can simply use the cleaning water to water the flowers.

Dose correctly and save your wallet

To clean wooden floors, we recommend a dosage of 10 ml eMC All-Purpose Cleaner to 10 litres of water. The water should be warm, but not too hot - this is where the Effective Microorganisms feel most at home. Always make sure that you only wipe with a damp cloth and never soaking wet.

The cleaner concentrates can be diluted to a very high degree, which is easy on the wallet: you can produce up to 1000 litres of cleaning water from one litre of eMC All Purpose Cleaner. More than the recommended dosage is not necessary, as too much cleaner can cause streaks to form on the floor.

You can repeat the application for coarse soiling. This creates a permanently regenerative environment on the surface.

Mopping robots - the silent hero in the household

Put your feet up and let the robot do the work: mopping robots are being used more and more often. The eMC cleaners can also be used with this practical household aid. In any case, the correct dosage and a maximum water temperature of 40 degrees are important. The mopping water should be changed at least every two to three days to maintain optimum cleaning power.

Checklist for chic floorboards

  • Regular dusting with old socks or T-shirts
  • Stretch discarded items of clothing over the broom for dusting; they can then simply be washed in the washing machine.
  • Cover up small scratches with a walnut
  • Simply rub the scratch with the walnut, the oil it contains will disguise the blemish.
  • Damp wipe with eMC cleaners
  • Baby oil for extra shine
  • A few drops of baby oil in the wiping water have a moisturising effect and give a special shine. But be careful - use very sparingly!
  • Put your feet up and enjoy the pleasant room climate!

The phenological calendar - the 10 seasons of nature

We divide the year into four seasons, but there is an even finer division into ten seasons, which is biologically based and depends on the phenomena in nature. These occur at different times each year, depending on the development of the plant world. We therefore distinguish between the astronomical or calendar seasons and the phenological seasons. Here you can find out which seasons we are talking about and how you can utilise this classification in your garden.
