ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The product was delivered in typical shipping packaging, which was undamaged on arrival and could be opened without any problems. The packaging contains a 1 liter plastic bottle. The cardboard as product protection proved to be stable and adequately protected the product during transportation. However, no original packaging was available at the time of testing, so no statement can be made in this regard. The instructions for use can be found on the bottle label, but separate instructions are not included.

After inspecting the product, the visual appearance with a 1 liter plastic bottle is appealing. The workmanship is flawless, with no visible damage, corners, edges or defects. The stability of the plastic bottle with practical spout is a positive feature. However, we would like to point out that the product is a biocidal product and should be used with caution. We recommend that you read the label and product information carefully before use. It is important to know that the liquid and vapors contained are flammable and may cause drowsiness, dizziness and severe eye irritation. To ensure safe handling, we recommend taking appropriate precautions. Overall, the product is of good quality and meets the requirements for appearance, processing and stability.

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.

It is advisable to consider individual needs and requirements in order to make an informed purchasing decision.
