Challenger Cleans Vinyl Floors

Mark Dullea is our distributor in Boston, MA. He has been voted Boston’s best carpet cleaner and is a well respected expert in the business. Recently on his Challenger Forum, found at www.carpet-celaning-business.com this issue of using the Challenger Pad System safely and effectively on vinyl floors came up. These are his words:

“I've never gone looking for VCT (vinyl composition tile) floors to clean, but every now & then a carpet customer has asked if I could clean such a floor - usually in their kitchen, but also one time in a church basement social hall. All I have ever done is sprayed my natural carpet solution (Outsolve or Orbit Natural) lightly onto the floor, laid down a damp cotton pad (I like the 2-ply Argo pads), and scrubbed up the dirt with my Challenger. Use as many pads as necessary. It always pleased the customer. Definitely not rocket science. And re. stripping these floors: I never have done this, and have no plans to start soon.”

We, Challenger Pad System manufacturers, recommend using the Challenger on vinyl floors with the Challenger machine, 100% cotton pads, and Orbit Glow for the most effective cleaning system for your customers. (Mark recommended Orbit Natural for cleaning, but Orbit Glow is specially formulated for hard surface floors and we think it works better. Orbit Natural can be used on hard surface floors as well as carpet, however, in a pinch. Both products are plant based and environment friendly and will not harm the hard surface flooring.)

Thanks for reading with me,
