HARD FLOOR CLEANERS – A REVOLUTION IN CLEANING

Regular mops just wipe the surface – our hard floor cleaners really clean. They can cut your floor cleaning time in half while also delivering a deeper level of clean. Best of all, your newly shined floors will dry in two minutes or less!

The FC 7 - Our Top Hard Floor Cleaner

The FC 7 does away with the old rule "vacuum first, then mop." Its two pairs of counterrotating rollers get straight to business and restore the shine to your floors in half the time. You really can do two things at once, and without getting your hands dirty!

Better cleaning results than with a mop

Your floor is your stage. With our FC 7 you can make your floor shine – and do so more thoroughly and powerfully than you could with any other mop. Instead of wiping dirt back and forth, the rotating rollers with self-cleaning function simply pick it up and transport it to a dirty water tank. There is very little residual moisture left on the floor, meaning the show can go on in just two minutes or less!

50% faster cleaning thanks to the 4-roller drive technology

You can achieve perfect results with the FC 7. It wipes and picks up all types of everyday dirt in one step and also works in corners and along edges and baseboards. Hair is also easily picked up with the integrated hair combs.

Three cleaning levels for different types of floors and dirt

The roller rotation and water flow can be adapted depending on the type of dirt and floor (e.g. level 1 for wood floors, level 2 for stone floors). Boost Mode can tackle the most stubborn stains.

Better cleaning performance

The automatic rollers effortlessly glide the floor cleaner across the floor and are able to generate numerous wiping movements in a single pass. This means you achieve a more hygienic and effective result than a traditional mop.

"The FC5 completely changes the cleaning game."

"In our tests, we loved that it suctions up dirty water and stores it in a tank, has four cleaning detergent options, and within two minutes after cleaning, the floors were dry."

The Daily Beast

The Karcher FC 7 Hard Floor Cleaner’s Mopping Magic Is No Joke

"Normally what takes me around 30 minutes of work to clean my kitchen, living room, and bathroom floors with a vacuum and mop now only takes around 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish with the Karcher FC 7 Cordless Automatic Hard Floor Cleaner. "

Good Housekeeping UK

"Kärcher have the perfect solution for a flawless clean without the lengthy time tag."

Popular Mechanics

"Most Portable", "The 7 Best Floor Scrubbers for Wood, Vinyl, and Tile"

Real Homes

"Makes short work of dirty floors, giving them a deep clean no mop could achieve on its own."

Forbes

"With [Kärcher's] latest FC 5 ... you can cut the time of your cleaning regime in half."

The most efficient way to clean hard floors

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.

Karcher FC5 Has Two Water Tanks

An edge on the competition

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. 

Karcher FC5 Cleans Floors Right up to the Edge

Germany's bestselling hard floor cleaner

Since its introduction in Germany, our line of floor cleaners quickly became the top sellers in the country. 

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

We think you'll agree when you give it a try – our hard floor cleaners offer the best way to deep clean your hard floors!

Karcher FC 5 Number One Hard Floor Cleaner in Germany

Mop up with Kärcher

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!

Karcher FC 5 Floors Dry Quickly

Rinse and repeat

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.
