Max Close-up

I have received requests for more detail on the new
spray system created for the Challenger Max.
First, the spray system button on top is the easy
way to control the dispersal of cleaning solution in
short bursts or in a smooth flow.
Second, the spray system button on top does not work
unless the machine is plugged in and turned on so there
is no chance of accidental dispersion.




Third, there is a filter included on the side to prevent
the spray nozzle from clogging and interrupting the job.
Fourth, our spray system is designed for the Challenger
Max.... but it can actually be used on the Challenger as
well!

Best of all is the price. We have worked hard to keep our
costs down so the spray system will be only $268.

Challenger Max with Spray

This is the Challenger Max! Our brand new commercial machine.
Our distributors in the field who have this machine tell us they
are using it everyday. They are using it both in commercial
and residential settings. Jim, from MI, says, "The more we use
it, the more we like it!"






I enjoy using the Challenger Max myself.
You know if a Grandma can use it, then
the Max must really be smooth and
effective. I can tell you that is true.

Challenger versus the Other guy

This is an email, with pictures, that I got recently. I quote with
permission from Joe:

Chris, just wanted to let you know the Challenger is working great and to thank you for your help and information. ...It runs great and is 'Super Smooth.' I have been using another OP machine from another company for a year and I have always liked it, but the Challenger is smoother and easier to use. I love this machine! ... Thanks a bunch Chris.

-Joe, from Kentucky

We hear this often from customers, Challenger is the smoothest OP
on the market.

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.)

Source for Extra Cash

I thought you might be interested in this exchange of comments from Mark Dullea's internet forum recently. His forum is for professional carpet cleaners to share tips and strategies for success in their businesses. Mark's forum is found on his website at www.carpet-cleaning-business.com.

Hi Brian,
I am just looking at some opportunities to make some extra cash. I work a full time job, and do some side-work. I thought carpet cleaning would be a good idea. I was also looking at Green carpet cleaning. Are there any ideas you can give me, or some good machines, etc.? This is all new to me.

Thanks.

Hi (Name withheld)
Green cleaning is an excellent opportunity for you to earn extra cash. The Challenger is, in my opinion, the best machine for Low Moisture earth-friendly cleaning. The best cleaning solution would be Orbit Natural. If you are looking for this system and would like the best support then contact Mark Dullea, he sells these products and machines, and provides excellent support. Just look at the top of this forum and click on the link that says "return to website." There is awesome information on how to start your own business and what equipment you will need to purchase.
I wish you all the best,
Brian C., from Ontario, Canada

Stronger Natural Products

There has been a perception that bio-friendly or green products are not as effective in cleaning as their more hazardous predecessors. That was once true, but is no longer the case. Orbit Natural cleans as well as any petroleum base and now we have an even stronger product, called Rug Restore, for the most difficult cleaning situations, i.e. the infamous rental carpets. We just got this product on the market and it is already creating a buzz.
You should give it a try. There is also the new pre-spot called Spot Relief which is available now. The pre-spot is a concentrate designed for small area use to target specific stains. Our customers have been asking for these new products to add to their green clean efforts and we are delighted with the reception the products have been given after their use in the field.
John T. in Ohio says, "Rug Restore does an amazing job. We thought the carpet would have to be replaced, but not any more."
Barry F. in New Hampshire says, "I pulled out the new Spot Relief and told (my customer) that I would do the best I could, but would not guarantee good results.... The stains had been there a long time. When I was done it was awesome. (My customer) was really happy."

Website Marketing

I hired a man to build my website seven years ago and have been second guessing him ever since. I have changed a lot of things and even improved a few.
I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and she had some new ideas to add to the mix so I thought I'd pass some along that might help you on your website. I am not saying I have implemented all her great ideas, but I do think they are worth our consideration. She started by telling me that people coming to the website look first at the top left corner so that is where your most important statement should be. Your business name, your logo, your business identity, whatever you want to catch the attention of a visitor first.
Testimonials from your customers are extremely important, she reminds me, in establishing your credibility as an authority in your field of business. They should relate specific results and as many numbers as possible. Include pictures, names, and states for the person giving you the testimonial.
Most importantly, the first page of your website - and mine - must describe who you are, what you do, and the reason customers should call you. Time for me to give my website another look, how about yours?
