Why not use Steam Carpet Cleaning Instead?

Wet or Steam Cleaning your carpets can cause the following:

• Soap and Water - Detergent Residue Wet carpet cleaning methods, including some that contain the word "dry", can leave detergent to dry in carpet. After carpet is cleaned with a wet carpet cleaning method the water evaporates from the cleaning solution and the detergent dries and re-crystallizes within and throughout carpet fibers.During the drying time the water (H20) evaporates from the "cleaning solution" and the detergent remains. Detergent residue can attract new soil, trigger rapid re-soiling and cause carpets to "ugly-out" and become matted down. Simply put, detergent residue (soap) attracts new soil.
• Steam Cleaning - Can Remove Stain & Crush Resistant Materials
  Hot water extraction, more commonly referred to as steam cleaning, can dilute and/or remove valuable stain resistant materials in addition to crush resistant properties from carpet.
• Health, Allergies, Mold And Carpet Cleaning
  Steam cleaning can force water to gain access to carpet padding. In some cases, wet carpet can be hazardous to ones health. High levels of humidity stimulates growth of mold and/or mildew. Even more alarming is the fact that water left dormant for prolonged periods in carpet will allow living organisms to continue their growth cycles at an accelerated rate. If you are interested in learning more about the effects of wet carpet cleaning and health you should consult your doctor.

Our dry extraction carpet cleaning system (HOST®) was designed to eliminate many of the compromises associated with wet cleaning methods. HOST is often difficult to understand because it is a "culture shock!" When people first see it, they can't understand how a dry cleaner works. They have naturally become accustomed to using water and suds for cleaning. Ever since you were young, whenever you cleaned anything, you always used water and detergent or suds. But when you see HOST, there is no visible water and suds, so it seems confusing. But HOST is really very simple. It uses something you have used often for cleaning...sponges.

HOST SPONGES Cleaner is a soft organic, natural product which contains all the necessary liquid to dissolve and absorb both water based and oil based soil. It's moistened with water, detergent and a small amount of safe solvent. Because HOST is a low moisture cleaning system, when we're finished cleaning your carpet, it is dry. Chemical and mechanical action is required to break the oil bond and pull the soil away from the carpet fibers. Then this loosened soil must be removed. Most wet cleaning methods easily dissolve the soil. However, once dissolved, the soil can run up the base of the carpet fibers and may wick back up (through a process called capillary action) to the tips of the fiber. This is why some spots seem to reappear after wet cleaning. This wicked up soil and detergent residue can also cause the carpet to re-soil quickly.

For effective carpet cleaning, you need a system that dissolves soil and removes it immediately. HOST is formulated to dissolve both types of soil (water soluble soil/solvent soluble soil) and then to absorb the soil. It's a modern day product based on more than 60 years research. And that's why drier is "better than wetter." Ready to give us try?
