Karcher is launching its new hand-held steam mop in Singapore. RRP: S$398. The SC3 is part of Karcher’s range of steam-powered deep cleaning appliances in Singapore.

The hot steam from the new Karcher SC 3 cuts through dirt, grease and grime without the usage of any chemicals. Only 30 seconds needed to heat up the steam mop for quick usage.
Apart from greater effectiveness in cleaning floor surfaces, Karcher is putting the spotlight on being health conscious and environmentally friendly.
Pricing and Availability
The Karcher SC 3 Upright EasyFix is available at all major electronics and electric appliance stores in Singapore from 21 October 2019 at a recommended retail price of S$398.
Karcher’s steam cleaning technology used in the SC3 means that no detergent is needed for mopping floors.
This reduces the generation of single-use plastic containers typically used to contain floor-cleaning detergents.
Users will also avoid coming into contact with potential irritants and allergents from the chemicals used in the cleaning detergents.
Vincent Sim, General Manager of Karcher Singapore launches the new SC 3 Upright EasyFix steam mop at the Karcher Centre in Singapore. S$398 from 21 Oct.
The steam cleaning also kills 99.99 percent of common household bacteria.
