A unique film-forming, polishable floor care wax – combined repair and film-forming maintenance wax. For surface treatment of all floors and regular maintenance treatment of floors treated with Trend.
Product properties
A single product for surface treatment and maintenance. Heavy duty floor wax for surface treatment of all floors. Forms an elastic, hard, dirt-repellent and easily cleaned surface film. Amazingly easy to spread. Short film-forming time, quick-drying. The Trend coating is built up by regular maintenance, depending on the wear. Highly suitable for use with scrubber driers. Trend can be polished after four days with a low-speed machine and polishing disc pad and after five months also with a high-speed machine which enhances the dirt-repelling properties of the film. A floor surface treated with Trend and regularly maintained with Trend requires no new complete waxing for 4-5 years.
Surface treatment
Trend is applied undiluted, always follow the instructions in separate treatment data sheets for specific floor materials.
- Prior to surface treatment, the floor should be thoroughly cleaned of old polish and polish residue, washing wax and dirt. Use Gipeco Polish Remover Dipex or Goaway.
- Porous floors require pore filling with Gipeco Pore Filler Lino or priming with Gipeco Base Polish Baseon before Trend is applied on the floor.
- Apply a single evenly spread layer of Trend over the entire floor - 1 litre for ca 50 m2 of floor area. Use a looped Gipeco Mop.
Maintenance treatment
Important! A Trend-treated floor may never be cleaned with cleaning agents, other waxes or oil-treated mops – the Trend film will be damaged! Trend on Trend – it's that simple! Maintenance treatment with Trend solution should be performed depending on the wear and traffic. Otherwise, the Trend film will be worn down quickly! Moistened mop strands maintain the Trend film as long as they are damp and re-wax the surface until they are saturated with dirt.
Instructions for use
Can be used manually as well as in machines.
Damp mopping:
Use a looped Gipeco Mop that helps to maintain the correct level of moisture. Too wet strands leave traces on the floor and the floor becomes streaky after drying. Too dry or dirt-saturated strands cannot repair the Trend film and the film will be worn down quickly.
Scrubber drier:
Use a red or white disc pad or 0.3-0.4 mm soft nylon brushes. Hard brushes or coarse or dirty disc pads with e. g. glass shards or sand attached will damage the Trend film.
Dosing – use cold water – 20°C at the maximum.
- For light maintenance treatment: 25-50 ml per 10 litres of cold water as needed.
- For regular maintenance treatment of Trend-treated floors: 50-100 ml per 10 litres of cold water, depending on the treatment frequency, traffic and wear.
- Spray treatment: 2 dl per 1 litres of cold water.
- Combined surface treatment and maintenance treatment: Build up a Trend coating on a cleaned and restored floor by cleaning, using a mixture of 3 dl per 10 litres of cold water ca 12-14 times. When the floor has acquired a protective surface coating, reduce the dose to 50-100 ml per 10 litres of cold water, depending on the treatment frequency, traffic and wear.
Note
Always use cold water – 20°C at the maximum, use clean mops and change the water often – a dirty solution has poor film-forming effect. In case of heavy wear – increase the treatment frequency instead of the dose.

Information about the Nordic Swan Ecolabel
Trend has been environmentally labeled with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel between 2010–2021. In 2021, cleaning floor care products were lifted out of the criteria for Professional Cleaning Products. Svanen announced in connection with this that it was instead investigating possibilities to reintroduce criteria for Professional Floor Care Products. Gipeco intends to register Trend in new criteria as soon as this is possible. The recipe in Trend is unchanged and the environmental performance is as good as before. By using Trend, you make a wise environmental choice that extends the lifespan of your floors.
