HARD FLOOR CLEANERS – A REVOLUTION IN CLEANING

A key to reducing your mopping time (and getting the best results) is to keep your clean water separate from the dirty water.

Our floor cleaning machines have two tanks – one for dispensing clean, fresh water and another to collect the dirty water. 

The FC applies just the right amount of fresh water (and cleaning solution, if desired) to the front side of the rollers. As the rollers spin and clean the floor, the dirty water is then suctioned into the dirty water tank (FC 5 models only).

Don't try this with other popular hard floor cleaner machines – they can't match the Kärcher's ability to clean right up to the edges of floors. 

Why is this important? If you can't clean the edges of your floors with the machine, then you have to follow up with a different mop to finish cleaning!

Kärcher FC models clean right up to the edges of walls and baseboards, so you don't need to follow up with a second mop. 

Since its introduction in Germany, the FC 5 has quickly become the top selling hard floor cleaner in the country. 

According to market research institute GfK, the FC 5 swiftly topped the bestsellers list in both 2017 and 2018. 

Leading the overall category, the FC 5 Premium is the uncontested market leader for two years running. We think you'll agree when you give it a try – it's by far the best way to clean your hard floors!

While other hard floor cleaners may leave your floors soaking wet, a Kärcher one cleans up after itself. 

Due to the spinning action of the rollers, less water/cleaning fluid is required to mop the floors.

When you combine the reduced amount of fluid used with the suctioning away of dirty water, you get beautifully clean floors that dry in two minutes or less!

If you've been using a spray mop, you've likely noticed how often the pads need to be changed – and how expensive that is. Not to mention the amount of waste the pads create.

On the other hand, if you've been using a machine, you've discovered that cleaning the rollers is a real pain. They're not easy to remove, and cleaning them under running water doesn't quite do the job.

Kärcher hard floor cleaners are designed so the rollers can be easily removed, without needing to remove other parts. Best of all, you can toss the reusable rollers in the washing machine for a thorough clean.

“Quiet Mark testing of floor care products captures the noise that the user experiences in the context of a real-life environment ... The Kärcher FC 5 Floor Cleaner offers a quieter way to clean hard floors in a single, easy step.” – Quiet Mark, in Good Housekeeping US print magazine

"...automatically removes dirt, liquids and debris from the rollers so you're always cleaning with clean rollers for amazing results." – Living a Fit and Full Life

"My floors were mopped just two days before I tried out the Karcher FC5 for the first time. To my surprise, the mop water from the FC5 was very dirty and it had collected a bunch of debris that shouldn’t have been on my 'clean floors.'" – Well Connected Mom
