What are frequently used surfaces?

Used surfaces as a finishing material are actively used for the bathroom and kitchen, and this is quite justified.

Frequently used surfaces have a long list of positive properties: they are hydrophobic, wear-resistant and light-resistant, strong enough and durable. And they also look quite aesthetically pleasing and are inexpensive. And, since they are present in the homes of many people, the question of how to wash them is more than relevant.

Before you start washing frequently used surfaces, you need to decide on their type (glossy or matte).

Glossy frequently used surfaces are covered with a laminating layer, unlike matte ones. Both options have their pros and cons. Laminating layer of lacquer protects the surface from dirt, it becomes resistant to abrasives, so glossy surfaces are easier to clean.

Cleaning Matte Surfaces

Cleaning matte surfaces requires non-aggressive cleaning products and carefully selected tools to avoid scratches. Use a vacuum cleaner and dry microfiber cloth for best results. These surfaces are often used for wall and ceiling finishes, as well as kitchen backsplashes.
