When should this route not be used?
A maintenance layer is not a new lacquer finish. If the protection has worn through to the wood, another care-product application will not provide a lasting repair.

Questions
All questions →Answers for this procedure.
How often does lacquered parquet need protective care?
Actual wear determines the interval. As a guide, LOBA recommends at least annual care under normal use and more often under commercial traffic.
Why do stains remain after cleaning?
Common causes include applying too much product, using a dirty mop, leaving old film residue or touching up a coating that has begun to dry.
Can I apply InvisibleCare to 2K InvisibleProtect?
Yes. Current LOBA guidance also lists InvisibleCare for maintaining extra-matt and satin-finished surfaces; nevertheless, test it on a sample area first.
