Dirt, dust and liquids are our daily companions when walking on floor coverings. Dirt and stains quickly make a floor covering look unsightly. Incorrectly used cleaning agents can also change the appearance of a floor covering.
In the laboratory, we test the resistance of floor coverings to standardised dirt, stain substances, cleaning agents and chemicals.
