STEAM CLEANERS

Kärcher steam cleaners remove up to 99.9%* of enveloped viruses and up to 99.9%** of household bacteria, ensuring maximum hygiene and a healthy living environment. Whether in the kitchen, the bathroom or even on floors, it's full steam ahead with Kärcher! Made in Germany.

Kills up to 99.999% of enveloped viruses.* And bacteria.**

Kärcher arranged to have the effectiveness of its steam cleaners in fighting viruses tested in an independent laboratory. The result: if used properly, the machines remove up to 99.999% of enveloped viruses*, such as the coronavirus or influenza, and 99.99% of common household bacteria** from hard surfaces. As at the present time disinfectants are to be reserved primarily for outpatient and inpatient care, steam cleaners can make a valuable contribution to general hygiene – both in private households and in commercial and industrial use.

Enveloped viruses*, such as the coronavirus or influenza, can be neutralised with high temperatures. As viruses are not germs or living organisms, experts also talk about virus inactivation. In the laboratory a certified test virus (Modified-Vaccinia-Ankara-Virus), which is representative for enveloped viruses, was distributed on a hard surface. This area was then cleaned with the hand nozzle of a steam cleaner and the appropriate microfibre pad. It was demonstrated that a significant reduction of up to 99.999% of the viruses could be achieved at maximum steam pressure and with a cleaning duration of 30 seconds on one area.

The better mop***

The floor can be a real stomping ground. Unfortunately not only for crawling babies, playing children and pets, but also for bacteria, viruses and dirt. Steam cleaners are the perfect solution here. On hard surfaces such as stone, tiles, PVC, laminate or sealed parquet, they reliably ensure hygiene and cleanliness without leaving behind chemical residues. The floor nozzle EasyFix slats make sure that the steam remains directly on the ground for a long time so that it can deploy its maximum effect. The clean result: elimination of up to 99.999%* of enveloped viruses*, such as the coronavirus or influenza, as well as 99.99%** of typical household bacteria. Kärcher steam cleaners are thus considerably more hygienic than conventional mops.*** Thanks to the carpet glider, carpets can also be conveniently refreshened with the steam cleaner.
