German cleaning equipment maker Kyle Hill Japan's Japanese company will launch its first household steam mop SC Upright and SC Upright premium on October 26th. The SC Upright is 19580 yen and the SC Upright premium is 21780 yen. From the media-oriented webinars.

Kyle Hill is a German manufacturer responsible for cleaning equipment such as steam cleaners, high-pressure cleaners and garden tools. According to Keruhiya Japan, the time spent at home in Japan is getting longer, and the awareness of cleanliness is also increasing. "not only visible garbage, but also invisible things such as miscellaneous bacteria, the demand for hygiene is also increasing."

Against this background, Kelthia kept an eye on the steam mop. Invest in compact, easy-to-move "SC Upright" and "SC Upright Advanced".

The method of use is that after setting the cloth made of microfiber, put the water into the water supply tank of the main body and turn on the power supply. The time from starting up to using a steam mop (heating) is about 40 seconds. The capacity of water supply tank is about 0.4L. Because it is "the rated use time in strong mode is 2 hours", I cleaned the house very well.

Kelsia's product line-up includes a product called "steam cleaner", which can use steam to clean furniture, gas stoves and so on. These two items are both cleaned with steam. How should steam cleaner and steam mop be used?

The company confirmed that "steam cleaners can be used to clean a wide range of water from the kitchen to the sofa and can be used to clean the whole home." On the other hand, the steam mop of the new product is "floor-only" and is used separately according to the place where it is cleaned.

Steam cleaners and steam mops basically do not use detergents and have the same characteristics of removing dirt in high-temperature steam of about 100 ℃. In addition to using vacuum cleaners, floor wipers, etc., to remove dirt from the floor that cannot be treated, the steam mop also said that "spraying in strong mode for more than 30 seconds can carry out 99.99% sterilization." It's also a delightful function for people who care about invisible dirt.

The water supply tank is removable. 0.4 L at a time, full water was sprayed continuously for about 10 minutes. If there is no water on the way, the water supply can continue to be used. Because there is a lid on the water supply tank, it is not easy to overflow even if it is overturned. In order to use tap water, Karki will be attached to the inside of the boiler, but it is the "descaling cartridge" that prevents this. Because the water stains are removed at the entrance, there is no need to clean the troublesome internal boiler.

The body is as slim and compact as possible, which is also one of its characteristics. After dumping the fuselage to the left and right, the floor nozzle will enter under about 6 centimeters of furniture. Because it is very small, cleaning in narrow places such as the cracks in the toilet is also very active.

"SC Upright" and "SC Upright Advanced" have the same basic functions, but the length, accessories and weight of the power cord are different. The length of the code is 5m for "SC Upright" and 7m for "SC Upright Advanced". In the attachment, "SC Upright" is a cloth and dirt removal box made of microfiber, and "SC Upright Advanced" is a cloth and dirt removal box made of 2 pieces of microfiber. Weight "SC Upright" is 2.5kg, "SC Upright premium" is 2.9kg.

The main dimensions of the two models are 243x168xhigh 1185 mm. Steam regulation can be divided into two stages: strong and weak.

Steam mop is used to clean the floor, in addition to wipe off drinks, but also active in the usual cleaning, such as the entire floor cleaning. Moreover, the sterilization effect of steam can also be obtained, as long as the usual floor cleaning is carried out, even if there is no additional operation, invisible dirt can be cleaned.

By the way, with regard to floor materials that can be swept with a steam mop, "except for materials that are extremely bad for heat, almost all house floors can be used. The cushion floor is fine. Please fully ventilate the tatami to make it dry after cleaning. However, there are a variety of coated flooring materials, if possible, please refer to the flooring material handling instructions. In particular, please pay attention to the carpet and so on. "(Kelsia Japan). If you care, it is safe to confirm the use of flooring materials before purchase.
