Monuments of the World
For 45 years, we have been committed to the preservation of historical monuments and buildings free of charge as a cleaning specialist. To date, Kärcher has demonstrated its experience and expertise in more than 300 cleaning projects worldwide. In the year of the company's 90th anniversary, Kärcher is taking on the challenge of carrying out 90 cleaning projects worldwide. These range from simple corporate volunteering activities, such as collecting garbage, to cleaning public spaces and well-known places, to cleaning historical monuments that are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
90 years - 90 cleaning projects
To celebrate the 90th anniversary, Kärcher teams around the world will be carrying out 90 free cleaning projects in public places such as squares, parks, beaches, riverbanks and historic buildings during the anniversary year. At the end of the year the counter shows 124 executed projects - a strong commitment from our Kärcher teams worldwide.
Since 1980, Kärcher has been carrying out free cleaning projects on historic buildings worldwide as part of its cultural sponsorship. You will find a selection of these more than 300 cleaning projects below, including some from the year of the 90th anniversary.
