In fact, no other carpet cleaning product has the variety of independent certification and research that HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner has.

Conserving Resources While Preventing Mold & Mildew Growth

Unlike wet cleaning methods, HOST does not leave carpets wet with dirty wastewater that can lead to mold and cause health problems. In fact, HOST helps remove mold from carpets. Water extractors generate large amounts of wastewater which burdens sewers and water treatment facilities. Also, water left in the carpet evaporates humidifying buildings and forcing air conditioners and dehumidifiers to run harder and longer. HOST helps to lower energy needs since no water is used, so blowers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers are not needed.

If everyone in the US cleaned their carpet just once with the HOST System instead of the average wet cleaning method, the US would save almost 10 billion gallons of water! That’s enough water to:
• Fill 195 million standard bathtubs
• Flush a 1.6 gallon toilet over 6 billion times
• Sustain over 53 million people for one year or over 670 thousand for their lifetimes
