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.

How can technology help in the fight against zoonisis? Aspiring vet, Erin Tan, did some research on the topic and shares what she thinks in this second article in a two-part series.
* This article first appeared in HalenessMe.
The web-based app Supramap uses genomic data to track the global movement of avian influenza virus.
Emerging technology can help in mainly two ways.
Firstly, through harnessing the power of Big Data, information from previous outbreaks, and studies conducted independently around the world, can be collated to help predict where a deadly zoonotic virus will strike next.
About The Author
Erin Tan is an aspiring Veterinarian.
She will be reading Veterinary Medicine at Emmanuel College in the University of Cambridge.
The vast availability of health data today means that data must be intelligently handled, using the right tools to derive helpful trends.
For instance, Google Flu Trends collated data from users’ searches to estimate influenza activity, and was found to show strong correlation with official data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention during the 2009 flu pandemic.

The word ‘zoonosis’ is not one that is popular in the common lexicon, and yet it is something that can affect our lives profoundly. Aspiring vet med student, Erin Tan, did some research on the topic and shares what she thinks in this two-part story.
* This article first appeared in HalenessMe.
Zoonoses. Source: GAO.
A zoonosis is a disease which can be transferred from animals to humans, and there are many examples of zoonoses which many are familiar with.
About the Author
Erin Tan is an aspiring Veterinary Medicine student.
She has been offered a place to study Vet Med at the University of Cambridge, the Royal Veterinary College in London, and the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at the University of Edinburgh.
She is still deciding which of these places to take up.
One has only to recall the SARS outbreak of 2003 to recognise the destructive potential of zoonoses.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a disease which originated from viruses in bats that jumped to palm civets and then to humans, severely impacted countries like Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and even Canada.
774 lives were claimed globally by this never-before-seen disease.
Stories of doctors, nurses and other health workers who had perished saving the lives of SARS patients filled the papers.
International travel to affected areas dropped sharply by 50-70%, resulting in the closure of many tourism-related businesses.
The civet cat is closely associated with the outbreak of SARS in Asia.
Clearly, while the containment of SARS – especially in Singapore – is generally hailed as a success story, the outbreak did result in significant social and economic drawbacks.
