Frequently Asked Questions

The beauty of Kärcher Hard Floor Cleaners is that they are suitable for all hard floor types. Vinyl, tiles, stone, timber, bamboo, lino, porcelain & even hybrid floors just to name a few.

This is due to both the self-cleaning and twin tank technology. The fresh water and detergent that is used to clean the floors is in one tank, whilst the dirty water is kept in a separate tank. This ensures the rollers are always kept moist by fresh water and not the dirty water that you are collecting while cleaning.

No. Our Hard Floor Cleaners come with super-soft microfibre rollers that ensure no scratching of floors at all. If a tougher roller set is needed for floors such as stone, we have a stone roller set than can be purchased separately that are compatible with all of our Hard Floor Cleaners. However, we recommend not using the stone rollers on other floor types.

For our cordless models, the battery runtime is between 20-30 minutes. The fresh water tank capacity for our FC 3 Cordless is 360ml and 400ml for our FC 5 Cordless. Generally speaking this fresh water will last for the machines entire charge time. This allows for a huge water saving compared to a mop and bucket which usually needs over 5L.

Whilst our Hard Floor Cleaner can take water up to 40°C, we recommend only using cold water. The machine does not heat the water. The cold water, combined with the Kärcher Universal Floor Cleaning Detergent and the microfibre rollers give the floor an effective deep clean. Using the Kärcher detergent also enables the 2 minute drying time as it contains drying agents in the chemical.

We strongly suggest only using the Kärcher floor cleaning detergents with our Hard Floor Cleaners. These have drying agents in them to enable the super-fast 2 minute drying time. They also have foam stop chemical to limit foam and streaks being left on the floor.

To add to this, we have not tested the use of external detergents being used with our Hard Floor Cleaners so we can not guarantee that there won't be complications with the machine if other detergents are used.

As mentioned above, Kärcher's Floor Cleaner Detergents have foam stop agents. However, the first few times a floor is cleaned there can still be foaming. Previous detergents you have used can leave a film on your floors that is collected by your Kärcher Hard Floor Cleaner the first few times you use it. This initial foaming is usually occurring as a result of the old detergent. Once you have used your Kärcher Hard Floor Cleaner along with the Kärcher Detergent on your floors, this film will be removed and the foaming should stop.

Accessories and Detergents

With the range of accessories for Kärcher hard floor cleaner, you can tailor cleaning and care perfectly to the requirements of your floors. The standard detergent, for example, is suitable for any hard floor, while special detergents for wood and stone provide these floors with additional care and protection.
