Karcher Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Gen Hikino), the Japanese subsidiary of Germany's Karcher, the world's leading manufacturer of cleaning equipment, will hold the 'How Far Can You Tolerate? Sloppy Cleaning Exhibition' at OPENBASE SHIBUYA (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, June 14, 2026, as a brand communication event for its handy steamer 'SC 1 Multi' series, which realizes 'efficient cleaning'. This exhibition reframes the often negatively perceived concept of 'sloppy cleaning' by asking 'how far is acceptable?'. It is an event where visitors can enjoy the differences in people's attitudes towards cleaning by presenting amusing 'sloppy cleaning anecdotes' alongside the question of 'Acceptable? Unacceptable?'. In preparation for the event, when 'sloppy cleaning anecdotes' were solicited in advance on Karcher Japan's official X account (@KarcherJapan), over 300 episodes were gathered. From the collected episodes, relatable sloppy stories such as 'taking off my glasses while cleaning so I don't notice the fine dirt' and 'areas I can't reach are not targeted for cleaning' will be displayed on panels. Furthermore, carefully selected episodes will be turned into 4-panel comics by the popular illustrator Furuerutori. The event will also feature an exhibition of venue-exclusive comics where the illustrator drew her own sloppy episodes, as well as a corner where visitors can actually experience the 'SC 1 Multi' handy steamer series. Visitors can enjoy a 'sloppy cleaning experience' where they can steam-clean the sneakers they wore to the venue on the spot and walk home in them. We have prepared content that makes you want to enjoy it with someone, such as interactive photo spots. While voting 'Acceptable / Unacceptable' for various 'sloppy cleaning anecdotes', please enjoy the differences in everyone's sloppy sensibilities. ◼︎ Event Overview Event Name How Far Can You Tolerate?
