Kärcher SE 2 Spot Care 1.081-422.0
1.081-422.0 · corded upholstery spot cleaner
Editorial review Reviewed 29 October 2026 How we assess products
A straightforward cleaner for everyday spills and freshening suitable upholstery, with an upholstery nozzle and separate spot brush. Fresh wine and ordinary sofa marks respond well, but its small soft brush is less effective when a dried carpet stain needs forceful agitation. The nozzle can drag on textured sofa fabric, so work carefully. Single-setting controls, removable tanks and on-body hose and tool storage make it easy to keep ready. The 1.5L clean tank can cover several small jobs, while the 0.8L dirty tank needs checking separately. A 100ml RM 519 sachet is only starter supply. Fabric remains damp after extraction and sofa drying can take longer than a small carpet patch. Choose powered scrubbing for recurring tough stains.
