Passover without effort: The Kärcher Steam Cleaner that will make your home shine

Passover is just around the corner: Kärcher launches the SC 4 EasyFix – the steam cleaner that cleans, disinfects, and refreshes the home ahead of the holiday.

In preparation for the Passover holiday, which is known for its extensive cleaning, Kärcher Israel – the local representative of the leading German cleaning brand – is launching the SC 4 EasyFix in Israel. This advanced steam cleaner combines thorough cleaning, deep sanitization, and a highly convenient user experience.

The SC 4 EasyFix uses the power of steam to remove dirt, grease, and stubborn stains, and is capable of disinfecting up to 99.99% of common household bacteria – without the need for chemical cleaning agents. This solution makes it particularly ideal for Passover cleaning, when deep cleaning is required in every corner of the home, while maintaining a healthier environment for the family.

Among the steam cleaner’s standout features: A two-stage steam flow regulation system, a versatile accessory set for cleaning ovens, stovetops, bathrooms, floors, and hard surfaces, as well as the ability to remove mold and stubborn dirt in challenging areas. In addition, the device is equipped with a removable water tank for easy refilling, an EasyFix floor nozzle that allows cloth replacement without touching the dirt, a handle with a child safety lock, and a complete accessory storage system.

The SC 4 EasyFix is particularly suitable for families, homes with children, and those who suffer from allergies and breathing difficulties, offering an efficient, fast, and environmentally friendly cleaning solution – just in time for Passover preparations and the arrival of spring.

Recommended retail price: 1,290 NIS.

Available on the Kärcher Store website and at authorized points of sale.

Kärcher is a leading German company in the field of cleaning solutions for the home and industry, specializing in the development of advanced, durable, and environmentally friendly equipment since 1935. In Israel, the company is represented exclusively by “Dan Sheldon,” which specializes in providing professional cleaning solutions, advanced technical service, and personal support for private and business customers.

From personal experience: Until I had this device, I did not realize how much I was missing it in my daily routine. I am used to working hard on cleaning – scrubbing the stove after frying, dealing with stubborn grease near the window, fighting limescale on faucets and in the bathtub. Here, it simply happens within seconds. The steam melts the grease without aggressive scrubbing and without the smell of strong chemicals in the house.

Even a mirror with delicate decorations, which I was always afraid to damage while cleaning, returned to shining without effort. The small corners in tracks and grooves – places that always remain “more or less clean” – come out truly sparkling. The feeling is of deep and genuine cleanliness, not just a cosmetic one.

Ahead of Passover, when the whole house is turned upside down, it saves me time, effort, and a lot of frustration. For me, it is no longer a gadget – it is a must-have product in every home.

Hakubia Games introduces three new games for the whole family ahead of Passover, combining pace, humor, and mental challenge – and suited for shared game evenings at home.

Among the new releases is the card game Happy Salmon, from the creators of Exploding Kittens, offering an especially fast-paced and amusing gaming experience. The game has no turns – all participants play simultaneously, shout the action appearing on their card, and look for another player with the same action to perform a funny movement together such as a high-five or switching places. After performing the action, players discard the card and continue until the first player with no cards left wins. The game is suitable for 3–8 players aged 6 and up.

Alongside it, one of the world’s best-selling card games for 2025 is also launched – Draw 7, a fast and suspenseful game for risk lovers. During the game, each player decides on their turn how many cards to draw from the deck in order to accumulate as many points as possible, but must be careful: If two cards with the same value are drawn, all the points accumulated in that round are lost. The combination of luck, boldness, and quick decision-making creates a fast-paced and adrenaline-filled gaming experience. The game is intended for 3 to 15 players, aged 8 and up.

In addition, the company presents a game that brings the escape room experience into the living room, inspired by the island from the game Catan. During the game, players set out on a puzzle adventure on a fertile island full of resources, trade with settlers, try to uncover the mystery of the robber, and face challenges within a limited time. Similar to real escape rooms, the game is designed for single use and includes detailed instructions and hints for solving the puzzles. The game is suitable for 2–4 players aged 10 and up.
