Advantages of cleaning with steam
Thorough cleaning without chemicals
The secret of steam cleaning lies in the powerful combination of pressure, speed and temperature. Microscopic steam particles force their way into even the hardest to reach crevices and tiniest recesses to thoroughly loosen dirt particles. As steam cleaning does not use any chemical cleaning agents, it prevents allergen residues from forming on the cleaned surfaces. This provides a safe environment for small children in particular, who like to put things in their mouths, and allergy sufferers can also breathe a sigh of relief.
Steam kills 99.99% of all bacteria*
Sometimes the best way of getting rid of bacteria is also the simplest: hot steam. The powerful ejection of steam along with its high temperature, powerful nozzles and heated cleaning cloths ensure that Kärcher steam cleaners kill 99.99%* of all common household bacteria on hard surfaces, fittings, tiles, mirrors and more. This has been confirmed by scientific studies, and with results like these, common household bacteria do not stand a chance.
Better than a mop.**
Kärcher steam cleaners ensure maximum cleanliness and hygiene on hard surfaces like stone, tiles, PVC, laminate or varnished parquet flooring. The Kärcher floor nozzle is fitted with slats which ensure that the steam remains concentrated on the floor for a long time and used to maximum effect. Thanks to their high cleaning performance and intensive cleaning action, Kärcher steam cleaners kill 99.99%* of common household bacteria on all hard surfaces and are therefore considerably more hygienic than a conventional mop.
* Thorough cleaning with the Kärcher steam cleaner kills 99.99% of all common household bacteria on hard surfaces around the home.
** Thorough cleaning with the Kärcher steam cleaner achieves a higher cleaning performance than manual cleaning with a mop and cleaning agent. Tested in accordance with international performance standards.

Sustainability
The most environmentally friendly way to clean
Steam cleaning saves up to 80% water compared with conventional cleaning methods and does not pollute waste water with chemicals. One litre of water is enough to create 1,700 litres of steam – enough to clean a 60 m² apartment thoroughly.
In addition, Kärcher steam cleaners allow energy savings of up to 25% compared with other manufacturers. Thanks to the innovative floor nozzle with slat technology, cleaning results are 25% better, saving both cleaning time and energy. Like all other Kärcher devices, our steam cleaners are over 90% recyclable once they reach the end of their service lives.
