Cleaning & Maintaining Marmoleum has a strong, durable protective top layer – Topshield. This innovation from Forbo ensures a highly effective shield against dirt and scuff marks. Topshield is ready for use immediately following installation and does not require the application of additional protective coats of finish. With Topshield, your Marmoleum floor will maintain its beautiful appearance with simple cleaning. Dry dusting is a fast and easy way to keep your floor free from loose dirt.
