Contract cleaners

Success through partnership. The trend towards outsourcing of cleaning tasks among local authorities and companies continues. The prospects for cleaning service providers are therefore positive but they also face a number of challenges: dynamic competition, the pressures of rising costs and in addition new activities and procedures in cleaning. Good cleaning performance is no longer a guarantee of success. Efficiency and sustainability are decisive success factors, as well as the best management and a powerful, reliable partner. Kärcher, the world's market leader for cleaning technology.

Areas of application for the industry

Kitchen cleaning

Wherever food is cooked, there will be stubborn stains. Grease and food residues must be systematically removed in accordance with the HACCP guidelines in order to eliminate breeding grounds for microorganisms. What can high-pressure cleaners, surface cleaners, steam cleaners, scrubbers or scrubber driers do? What specifics need to be considered when using them? And what should disinfection look like? Here is an overview.

Just right for every type of floor covering.

The floor coverings may vary but the task is the same: perfect cleaning and care of all hard or resilient floor coverings. The Kärcher system has an optimal solution for the deep cleaning, maintenance cleaning and care of all types of floor covering - dry or wet, by machine equipment. With ideally designed accessories and perfectly formulated cleaning agents. And the results are as perfect across the central area as at the edges. With all the possibilities and advantages that come from 75 years' experience as world leaders in cleaning technology.

The right performance cleaning machine.

Requirements for efficient cleaning are different in almost every case. Depending on the type of floor covering, the area, the degree of soiling and whether it is an indoor or outdoor location, factors such as hygiene regulations, work safety and environmental compatibility must be taken into account. More and more, the correct solution is a system that combines individual elements correctly matched.

The Kärcher System is a complete range of products and associated services from a single source, which can be combined to produce the best solution to practically any situation. And the deciding factor is not the range of elements available but the actual requirement. As your complete solution partner, Kärcher offers not everything it can, but everything that the system user needs.

Sanitary areas – cleans deep into joints and crevices.

Sanitary areas with non-slip coatings put especially demanding cleaning tasks onto the agenda. With limescale, skin grease and cosmetic residues found in baths, showers and changing rooms and, almost everywhere, textured floors or small areas where hygiene requirements are high: the prevention of germ transmission in these areas is crucial. The regular use of compact, efficient Kärcher cleaning machines ensures that floors are hygienically clean deep into joints and crevices.

For visible success, every day.

Economy and hygiene are not mutually exclusive in cleaning, if it is approached systematically. Unsuitable cleaning agents or inadequate dosages will not achieve the required effect. Machines and manual machines that are too strong, too weak or not properly adjusted will cost more, even over the short term, than any apparent savings that they offer. With the Kärcher system, the cleaning professionals go for success in every respect. For safe application and reliable performance. For top quality and sophisticated functionality. For reliable service and maximum efficiency. And for everything that makes a difference: Kärcher.

Everything that industry needs.

Mobile and stationary high-pressure cleaning are essential applications in industry, be it the meat processing, automotive or chemicals sector. Just one single Kärcher high-pressure cleaning system can supply up to twelve users at different points of use with up to 12,000 l/h of high-pressure water. If the cleaning performance of conventional high-pressure cleaners is still not sufficient, the ultimate solution is Kärcher UHP. With hot water at up to 800 bar or cold water at up to 2,500 bar, these powerful ultra-high pressure cleaners are leading the way in the most demanding industrial applications, such as removing paints and coatings, cleaning tanks and pipes and even keying concrete. Often cleaning with water and steam is not an option, perhaps because of the risk of corrosion in the case of casting moulds, or because of the need to avoid leaving abraded residues. It is in these situations that powerful Kärcher dry ice blasters are deployed to very gently remove dirt from surfaces – using dry ice pellets as the abrasive medium.
