Drop the Mop: Here's the Dirt on Hard Floor Cleaning

PLANO, Texas, April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard-surface floors are all the rage, but does anyone really have the foggiest idea how to properly clean them? In a recent survey, 68 percent of Americans said their hard floors are the dirtiest in their homes. Yuck! With most households moving to a mix of carpets and hard floors, cleaning up messes can be costly and so time-consuming.

But, no worries. Meet the one machine that makes cleaning all floors less of a chore. Rug Doctor's new FlexClean^® All-In-One Floor Cleaner easily cleans both carpet and sealed hard floors, removing what mops and other ineffective floor cleaners leave behind.

"We see a growing shift to hard surfaces in the modern American home, but people are continuing to use antiquated cleaning methods," said Rich Foster, Chief Product Officer of Rug Doctor. "Our innovative new FlexClean^® machine makes deep cleaning easy and delivers the versatility, durability and speed that fits people's needs today. Just two quick steps switch the machine from cleaning carpets to hard floors, and it moves, steers, and handles like a vacuum to tackle all floor types across the home."

With FlexClean^®, just one machine can clean every floor in your home, replacing a closet full of supplies, mops, and other cleaning machines. Why be like the average U.S. household that spends $42 a month and has at least six ineffective floor-cleaning supplies cluttering up their storage space?

According to a Global Scientific study, mopping is found to leave behind 30 times more soil than spray-and-vac cleaning, a "no-touch" method with the ability to truly clean hard floors. Unlike mops, the Rug Doctor FlexClean^® washes, scrubs, and uses powerful suction and a motorized brush to extract water, tough dirt, stains, odors and sticky substances from carpet and sealed hard floors.

Rug Doctor, American homeowners' go-to brand for carpet cleaning, is taking what it does best to stone, tile, hardwood, concrete and laminate. This global market leader in professional-grade, do-it-yourself deep cleaning is known for its distinctive red machines, available for rent in more than 40,000 retail locations. Now, for the first time in its 43-year history, Rug Doctor is revolutionizing floor cleaning by introducing a machine that deep cleans both hard floors and carpeting. The Rug Doctor FlexClean^®, starting at $249, can be purchased online at flexclean.com as well as online or in-store at Walmart, Home Depot, Sam's Club and Target stores.
