Product description
What is Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish?
Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish is a ready-to-use, water-based product specially designed for the care and protection of Cotto, Terracotta, clay tiles, Terres Cuites, and other similar floors. This product contains a combination of high-quality natural waxes and additives that form a self-gloss protective film on the surface. This film prevents dirt and moisture from penetrating the floor, making maintenance easier. Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish enhances the appearance of the floor, preserves its natural color and texture, is UV-resistant, and does not yellow. It is easy to apply and provides durable protection for the floor.
How does Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish work?
Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish is applied to clean, dry floors with a mop, sponge, or garden sprayer. The product spreads evenly and forms a self-gloss protective layer that keeps dirt and moisture on the surface, making cleaning easier. On highly porous substrates, a second or even third coat may be needed to ensure full protection. The first coat dries within 40–60 minutes, after which a second coat can be applied. On pre-treated or waxed surfaces, the product should be applied more sparingly. It is important to avoid streaks or drips during application.
Benefits and Properties
Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish provides several advantages, such as durable protection against dirt and moisture, improved appearance of the floor, and easy application. The protective film is wear-resistant, does not yellow, and retains the natural color and structure of the surface. This product is ideal for use on both untreated and pre-treated Cotto floors and clay tiles. Thanks to its water-based formula and biodegradable ingredients, Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish is environmentally friendly and safe for use in different environments. The product can also be added to cleaning water for extra protection when the effect starts to fade.
Directions for Use
Apply Lithofin Cotto Wax-Finish generously and evenly to a clean, dry floor using a mop, sponge, or garden sprayer. Make sure the product is distributed evenly to prevent streaks and drips. Allow the first coat to dry for about 40–60 minutes before applying a second coat. For highly porous surfaces, a third coat may be required. Avoid walking on the floor while drying. After treatment, the floor can be cleaned regularly with Lithofin Cotto Easy-Clean. Store in a cool, frost-free place, with a shelf life of up to three years.
