HOST is GREEN SEAL CERTIFIED

USDA BIOBASED & BIOPREFERRED

Host dry extraction cleaners are United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified biobased products that contain 100% USDA certified biobased content by weight, and are the only dry carpet cleaners that have earned USDA BioPreferred® designation for Federal preferred purchasing (ASTM test method D6866).

IMPROVES INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

Prevents Mold & Mildew Growth
According to the EPA, “moisture control is the key to mold control.” The HOST System uses less than one teaspoon of liquid per square foot, so unlike wet cleaning methods, HOST does not leave carpets wet with dirty wastewater that can lead to mold growth if it isn’t dried quickly enough. In fact, HOST helps remove mold and mildew from carpets.

Reduces Indoor Allergens

The HOST System of applying HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner to the carpet, brushing it through the carpet and then vacuuming up the HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner removes dirt and reduces allergens. Research studies have shown that one cleaning with the HOST System using HOST Machines reduces:
• Dust mites by 78% • Cat allergen by 85% • Dust mite allergen by 75% • Mold spores by 85%

CONSERVES NATURAL RESOURCES

Many environmental organizations recognize that it takes quite a bit of energy to heat water used in wet extraction cleaning methods. In an effort to lower costs and energy use, such organizations are supporting cleaning systems that do not use water.

With HOST there is:
• No water to heat • No need to run dehumidifiers and air conditioners • No need to use blowers to dry carpet to remove moisture from the carpet and air
