## Long description

The SE 3-18 Compact Battery Set spray extraction cleaner cleans deep into textile fibres while offering maximum freedom of movement. Its compact, lightweight drum design and 18 V Kärcher Battery Power battery allow cordless operation for professional wet cleaning of vehicle interiors, upholstery, carpets and garden furniture. A 1.2 L bagless dirt container, a long flexible suction hose with integrated detergent hose and a hygienic system-cleaning function that flushes the device and hose after use ensure thorough cleaning without residues and reduced risk of odours or bacteria.
Advantages
Compact and easy to manoeuvre, the SE 3-18 offers cord-free operation with the 18 V Kärcher Battery Power battery and delivers spray extraction performance comparable to corded units. The long flexible suction hose with built-in detergent hose provides flexibility in hard-to-reach areas. The bagless 1.2 L dirt container is simple to empty and the hygienic system-cleaning function helps prevent build-up of dirt, bacteria and odours in the device and hose.
Suitable for
Cleaning car interiors: seats, floor mats and boots
Upholstery and fabric-covered furniture

How to use
Fill the detergent tank or connect the detergent hose as instructed in the user manual, switch on the device and apply spray extraction to the textile surface while moving the hand tool slowly to allow the solution to penetrate fibres. Use the integrated suction to recover the liquid and dirt into the 1.2 L container. For vehicle interiors, work section by section—seats, floor mats and boot—to ensure even cleaning. After finishing, run the hygienic system-cleaning function to flush both the device and the hose to remove remaining detergent and dirt.
Usage recommendations
Use only Kärcher-approved detergents suitable for spray extraction; test cleaner compatibility on an inconspicuous area before full treatment. Empty and rinse the dirt container after each use and activate the system-cleaning function regularly to maintain hygiene and suction performance.
