What can I clean with a Kärcher Hard Floor Cleaner?
The new top mop for wood and other hard floors

Perfect for most hard floors
Whether it's hardwood, stone, tile or vinyl: our floor cleaning machines are up to the task! Clean with only water or use with Kärcher floor cleaning solutions for optimum results.

Effortless application
No scrubbing, no wringing, no bucket! Instead you get 500 roller revolutions per minute, with a self-cleaning function and two tanks to keep the fresh and dirty water separate.

Clean right up to corners and edges
Unlike other floor cleaning machines, our FC models have a center drive that allows the rollers to clean right up to edges.
The best way to clean hard floors in your home
The Kärcher FC range cleans hard floors throughout the home more quickly and thoroughly than a traditional mop or spray mop. And compared to other floor cleaning machines, it delivers a superior clean by continuously applying fresh water to its rollers and suctioning away the dirt and dirty water*.
*The suction function is available on FC 5 models only.

Trusted Reviews
Best Hard Floor Cleaners 2020 – "Best overall hard floor cleaner"
"As well as cleaning quickly, and even coping with tough, ground-in dirt, the FC 5 has a vacuum action that sucks up dirty water from the floor and puts it into a tank at the back of the machine. The result is that you don’t just get a visibly clean floor, but that you physically remove dirt and bacteria from the floor."

Kärcher floor cleaning solutions
You can use our hard floor cleaner machines to clean with only water – or you can add a little cleaning solution to help loosen dirt and impart a clean shine.
Our Universal Floor Cleaner is suitable for all types of hard flooring, while the other formulas are more specific. These include two versions of a hardwood floor cleaner (one for oiled/waxed floors, the other for sealed wood), as well as a stone / tile floor cleaner.
Extra sets of Microfiber Rollers
Our electric floor cleaners rely on microfiber rollers to safely clean your hard floors. While the rollers are reusable and machine washable, you may want to use a separate set for specific rooms.
For example, you might use a gray set for cleaning tile floors in your bathrooms and a yellow set to clean all other rooms.
Both sets of rollers are made of the same microfiber material – the color stripes are there just to help you keep them separate.
