How to clean Challenger

Challenger’s Endurepel Armour performance finish coating means that it has tough anti-stain, anti-bacterial,

and anti-mildew properties, so mild soap and water will clean most stains. If you need to, you can use a soft

bristle brush over stubborn areas. When you’re done, be sure to wipe remaining soap residue away with

clean water and a soft cloth, and then dry the area with a separate cloth to help maintain the fabric’s longevity.

 

If you need to use something stronger than soap, Challenger has been tested with common healthcare

and other industry standard cleaners with great results.
