Floor-care films are designed to maintain the practical value and aesthetics of floors. However, cleaning alone accomplishes a mere necessary removal of soil, thus, only the application of a care film ensures protection from mechanical exposure. Care products as well as working methods ought to be selected according to the floor type, in order to maintain the desired appearance, surefootedness and resistance against the mechanical walking impact.

The care film also protects the floor from resoiling and significantly reduces general cleaning time. The various care methods in combination with the applied care products form a finishing film on the floor with different characteristics and properties.

Liquid floor care products, however, can only form a less resistant film than polymer dispersions can. The especially durable film of such is due to their very dense surface that can be densified even further by polishing the film with a high-speed machine. Such coating reduces maintenance time and contributes to improved room hygiene due to a considerable reduction of germs during wet cleaning, in comparison to uncoated floors.
