Why this floor cleaner earns its place
Karcher FloorPro Wipe Care Extra RM 780 does two jobs in one pass: it cleans, and it conditions. Built for everyday maintenance of water-resistant hard and elastic floors, its formula is built around water-soluble polymers that lift grease, oil and mineral contamination without leaving the residue that a lot of daily cleaners build up over weeks of use.
It's gentle enough to be rated for elastomer (rubber) and PVC flooring, and it's also suitable for dissipative ESD floors, which puts it in a useful spot between a harsh industrial degreaser and a purely cosmetic cleaner. Where it particularly stands out is in sports and multi-purpose halls: it carries anti-slip certification to DIN V 18032-2:2001-04 (subject to the floor covering in question), which is a genuine consideration for any hall floor where grip matters as much as cleanliness. It's also suitable for the first clean of new resilient floor coverings.
The care components – those water-soluble polymers – leave a light protective finish behind, and the formula is suitable for polishing as part of a floor care routine, not just a one-off clean. It's gentle on materials, low-foaming for scrubber dryer use, and solvent-free, with a pleasant, fresh fragrance rather than a solvent smell. It comes as a 10 litre, perfumed white liquid, suitable for both scrubber dryers and manual application, and carries no corrosive, irritant or flammable hazard classification.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
