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.
The advantages of our electric floor cleaners
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.
Effortless floor cleaning
No more scrubbing by hand. No more tedious wringing out mops since the dirt is permanently removed from the rollers by a self-cleaning function. No more dragging a bucket around thanks to the detachable fresh water and dirty water tanks. And no more spending money on disposable cleaning pads!
Suitable for all hard floors
Low residual moisture means our floor cleaners are suitable for most all hard floors (stone, tiles, wood, laminate, vinyl, etc). The floors can be walked on again in no time at all. Combine with Kärcher floor cleaning solutions for perfect floor care.
Perfect edge cleaning
Unlike other hard floor cleaners that put the drive on the edge, preventing you from cleaning right up to edges, our centered roller drive ensures excellent cleaning results in corners and along edges.
Washable rollers
Inserting and removing the microfiber rollers is quick and easy. The rollers are also machine washable at up to 140 °F. No more wasted money (not to mention trash) on disposable pads!
Up to 90% water savings
Compared to cleaning with a traditional mop and bucket.

What can I clean with a Kärcher Hard Floor Cleaner?
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.
