Cleaning equipment and sweepers for looking after homes, gardens and small properties: terraces, paths, cars, façades and yards. Our range has over 150 products, including pressure washers, sweeping equipment and cleaning accessories. Most are from Kärcher, and you will also find GARDENA, Gloria Haus und Garten and Bosch.
How to choose cleaning equipment or a sweeper
Type of job. A pressure washer removes ingrained dirt, moss and algae from stone, concrete, wood and cars. A sweeper picks up leaves, sand and small debris without water. If you tidy the yard often rather than once a season, sweeping equipment saves a lot of time.
Pressure and water flow. Pressure, measured in bar, determines how hard dirt is lifted, while water flow shows how quickly you can clean a larger area. A car or garden furniture needs only moderate power, whereas old dirt on a large terrace calls for a stronger model.
Power source. Mains-powered machines run as long as you have a socket, so they suit longer jobs. Cordless ones are handy where there is no electricity, but battery capacity limits the working time. If you already own batteries from the same maker, a bare unit without a battery may be enough.
Accessories and hose. A surface cleaner attachment helps clean a terrace evenly without streaks. A foam sprayer is useful for washing the car, and a longer high-pressure hose means you do not have to move the machine around the whole house. Check that the accessories fit the connector of the model you choose.
Intensity of use. Prices in this category run from simple household models to professional equipment. For occasional cleaning, a light machine with a plastic housing is enough. For daily or commercial work, look for a sturdier pump and a longer service life.

Frequently asked questions
Which pressure washer should I choose for home use?
For most households, a mains-powered washer of moderate power with a surface cleaner and a foam sprayer is enough. It will clean a terrace, fence, garden furniture and a car. Pay for more power only if you clean large areas or very stubborn dirt.
Can I wash a car with a pressure washer?
Yes, but use a wide spray and keep a sensible distance from the surface. A narrow nozzle held too close can damage paint, seals and tyre sidewalls. A foam sprayer and a car shampoo give a better result.
Is a sweeper better than a normal broom?
A sweeper collects leaves, sand and small debris faster over a large area and means you do not have to bend over. For a yard, driveway or car park this saves a lot of time. For a small balcony or a corner, a broom is often still more convenient.
Can a cordless cleaner replace a mains model?
For light cleaning, such as a bike, garden furniture or a small car, a cordless unit is enough. For long, intensive work a mains model is better because its running time is not limited. The choice depends on whether there is a socket near the cleaning area and how often you will use it.
