The rims, bodywork and engine in particular need special care - not only for visual reasons, but also to ensure that they work properly.

Wooden decking
A patio offers many advantages, especially in the summer. It can be used as a retreat to relax and soak up the sun, or to sit together and enjoy the company of friends and family. Wooden decking is particularly popular, as it radiates a warm naturalness and turns the outdoor area into a cosy outdoor living space. The disadvantage of wood, in contrast to concrete or stone, is its sensitivity, depending on the variety of wood used. To enjoy your wooden decking for a long time to come, it is therefore important to clean and maintain the decking on a regular basis. Here are some tips for wooden patio cleaning.
Car seats
It's important to know that there is a major difference between vacuuming and deep cleaning our car seats and carpet. Whilst vacuuming will remove dirt on the top of the fibres, it will not remove all the dirt that has seeped deep into the fibres over time.
Deep clean your car's interior, including the seats, carpet and even the roof with the Kärcher SE 5.100 Spray Extractor.
BBQ cleaning
BBQ's can be difficult to clean when grease and burn marks build up over time on the grill and inderneath the hood.

Indoor
Carpet cleaning
A beautiful carpet makes the home feel cosy, emphasises features, and keeps your feet warm. The textile floor covering not only looks good, but it also improves slip-resistance, and dampens the noise of footsteps. The length of the pile determines how easy or demanding it is to maintain a carpeted floor. For all carpets, regular and thorough cleaning is recommended: This maintains the appearance, increases the lifetime and, furthermore, ensures hygiene, since heavily ingrained dirt is loosened and pet hair and harmful mites are removed.
Mattress cleaning
We all know mattresses can be prone to some nasty stains. Kids wee, food scraps and drink spills can all be very tough to get out! Well, there are ways to deep clean your mattress and remove these unwanted stains!
