Environmental Protection and Products

Home

Our goal: To design Kärcher products ever better so that they are more effective and environmentally friendlier. These factors are often interrelated: Effective units save electricity, water and cleaning agent and thus have less impact on the environment. You can learn more about the environmental properties of our units here:

Kärcher High-pressure cleaners
Kärcher high-pressure cleaners are real misers when it comes to water. In certain applications, they save up to 80% of water compared to conventional methods of cleaning.

Our hot water high-pressure cleaners comfortably comply with the strict German emission limits.

Kärcher Dry vacuums and wet and dry vacuums
Our T 201 professional vacuum is the quietest unit on the market with an operating noise level of only 59 dB. The efficiency of our wet and dry vacuums has been increased by installing modern by-pass fans, more than 30% on the K 2101. Noise emissions were reduced by 4dB.

Kärcher Window washer
Kärcher's window washer saves water and cleaning agent compared to normal methods of cleaning. Waste water is collected in a separate tank on the unit which can be emptied down a drain when it is full.

Kärcher Scrubber driers
Many Kärcher scrubber driers are equipped with a facility for recycling water. This helps save water and cleaning agent. The possible use of fuel cells in scrubber driers is being examined at the
present time – environment friendly and innovative technology is always welcome at Kärcher.
