There’s no better time than now to get spring cleaning underway. Get some spring in your step with Kärcher’s top spring cleaning tips! The best products to clean include the FC 7 Cordless hard floor cleaner, which has a two-filter system that allows continuous clean water and sweeps and mops simultaneously, which cuts the time for cleaning by 50%. Want to kill bacteria and those winter germs? Look no further than Steam! The SC 5 EasyFix Premium kills 99.99% of germs and bacteria without harsh chemicals.
Top tip for cleaning hard surface flooring
A standard process to clean hard floors is to use a mop and bucket. After a few uses of the mop, the water turns grey, and continuous use of greywater only spreads bacteria around the surfaces rather than cleaning the floors. The issue for most individuals is carrying a 5L bucket of water, especially up and down the staircase, can be a hazard and quite strenuous.
The FC 7 Cordless hard floor cleaner collects both dry and wet everyday dirt in a single step. The hassle of dragging a bucket around is a thing of the past, as the floor cleaner has both a fresh and waste water tank. There is also no longer any contact with dirt, as the rollers are constantly wetted with fresh water, and the dirty water ends up directly in the waste water tank.
Top tips for cleaning bathrooms
Common areas that need cleaning in the bathroom include tiles, grout, drains, toilets, basins, and tapware, which often have black residue on these areas, which is live bacteria that can spread quickly and leave an odour. The best product to clean this is the steam cleaner, for chemical-free cleaning and ideal for people living with asthma.
For the shower? Use the SC 5 EasyFix Premium (steam cleaner). The shower tends to come across a build-up and issues of soap scum building on the shower screen and tiles.
To eliminate soap scum on the shower screen, try the Ultimate Window Vac Bundle, which guarantees extremely effective cleaning and sparkling clean windows – with no streaks or residue.
There are times when people spend a long time in the shower, and the mirror in the bathroom tends to fog up. To eliminate using a towel to clean a mirror that often leaves marks, best to use a window vac that cleans the mirror easily, leaving it streak free.
Top tips for cleaning kitchens
Common areas in the kitchen that need cleaning include cooktops, ovens, sinks, bench tops, cupboard door handles & surfaces, fridge handle, range hood, splash backs, tapware, dishwasher, taps, rubbish bins etc. All of these areas have oily, greasy surfaces caused by cooking and tend to make a lot of mess, especially when children are involved.
A great way to clean these surfaces is the SC 5 EasyFix Premium steam cleaner, which will help break down the oily fatty surfaces with the high-temperature steam and kill the bacteria, which is very important when faced with salmonella in the kitchen. To maintain a clean splashback, a window vac is the perfect product to keep it clean.
There may be times when you have small spillages on bench tops. Avoid using single-use paper towels and ruining tea towels; reach for the window vac, which will clean away all spillages seamlessly.
To clean the kitchen floor, there’s nothing better than the FC 7, which sweeps and mops simultaneously, a huge time saver, especially after spending a large amount of time cooking.
Top tips for general window cleaning
Use the Kärcher Ultimate Window Vac Bundle with Karcher detergent, which keeps the window surface wetter during the application, giving enough time to vacuum the windows and keep a streak-free clean. The intelligent combination of the spray bottle and microfibre wiping cloth, along with the suction function on the Window Vac, guarantees extremely effective cleaning and sparkling clean windows – with no streaks or residue.
Top tips for cleaning carpets, rugs and upholstery
If these surfaces haven’t been cleaned properly due to food droppings, spilled drinks, pets and children have accidents in these areas that can leave stains and can also leave an odour; the odour is actually bacteria growing on these surfaces.
The best product to use to clean these surfaces is the SC 5 EasyFix Premium steam cleaner once again! If you can’t clean the surface immediately, an alternative product is to use a spray extractor for deep cleaning using soapy water, which gets vacuumed. It can also be used to vacuum water on hard surfaces.
Top Tip for cleaning curtains
Sometimes curtains get dirty and have creases; the best tool to clean is either a spray extractor or SC 5 EasyFix Premium steam cleaner to remove wrinkles and odours and give them a fresh look.
Top tips for cleaning outdoor areas
To best clean decking, pavers, driveways, windows, cars, furniture, eaves, gutters, bikes, pools (balustrade), rollers doors, masonry walls and fencing, use the K 5 Premium Power Control Pressure Washer with the combination of detergent which assists with the cleaning process.
For cleaning your BBQ, it’s best to use the steam cleaner to remove and clean the oily, greasy surfaces as you would in your kitchen.
Top tips for blocked sinks, washing machines, dishwashers and bathtubs
There are times when the drainage for sinks and bathtubs do get blocked. Suppose you have water overflow due to the blockages. In that case, you can use the wet & dry to vacuum the water off the floor, which can eliminate damaging the flooring, especially if it is timber laminate. A great tip to remove the water is to use the WD 6 P Premium Wet & Dry Vac.
