floor polish

Hardwood finishing product

Floor polish is a liquid or paste applied to hard floors—wood, tile, linoleum—to protect the surface and create a shine.

The polish fills minor scratches and leaves a protective layer that makes floors easier to clean.

Regular use builds up layers that eventually need stripping.
