Does this system clean more than just the surface of the carpet?

The absorbency of 100% cotton pads plus the orbital action of the counterbalance provides unsurpassed removal of soil and stains from carpets. The oscillating action cleans all sides of the fiber, lifting and separating the matted fibers to restore the full textured "new look" of the carpet. The combined oscillating and rotating cleaning action leaves the property owner delighted and satisfied.

How does this method compare to the deep cleaning action of a steam cleaning machine?

The Challenger has proven its superiority over steam cleaning machines by saving carpets that other cleaners have given up on. When moisture is extracted with a steam cleaner, stains and soil are often retained in the base of the carpet. It gives a clean appearance initially, but the dirt wicks back to the surface as the carpet dries. The oscillating and rotating motions of the Challenger's moistened terry cloth pad does not allow the dirt and stains to hide. The Challenger thoroughly cleans the carpet. The carpet dries in one hour and stays clean longer.

What is the cost of cleaning carpets after you have purchased the Challenger Pad System?
