Improving the Environment in your Home

Host Dry Carpet Cleaning improves indoor air quality in your home.

Mold & Mold Spores Dramatically Reduced with One HOST Dry Carpet Cleaning

Mold spores travel with wind current and are deposited on all indoor and outdoor surfaces. Mold allergens are found virtually everywhere in residential and commercial environments.
IAQ research showing HOST removes mold spores was confirmed by studies conducted in Wisconsin and Georgia. Mold spore levels in the Georgia test homes (humid climate) decreased by 85%. Levels in the Wisconsin homes (temperate climate) decreased by 94%.
This study was presented at the Seventh International IAQ Conference in Nagoya, Japan, July 1996.

Just One HOST Cleaning Reduces Dust Mites by 78% and Dust Mite Allergen by 75%

A study of 25 homes, conducted in Wisconsin, to determine the effect of HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning on dust mites showed a 78% drop in the average mite count. An extended study of 63 homes in Georgia and Wisconsin showed mite allergen decreased by 75% one day after HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning. This research has been peer reviewed and was one of only 500 papers worldwide accepted for presentation at the Sixth International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and the Environment in Helsinki, Finland.

Studies Show HOST Cleaning Improves Indoor Air Quality

Carpet provides the healthful role of filtering the air. It traps and holds soil, dust and allergens. The vertical pile of carpet traps and holds many times its weight in small particles, including dust and allergens, that enter into the indoor environment and descend onto it from above. Substantial research suggests carpet does not release these elements back into the air. However, just as it is important to clean or replace a furnace or HVAC filter, it's important to routinely clean the carpets.

The HOST System of applying SPONGES® to the carpet, brushing them through the carpet and then vacuuming up the SPONGES, removes dirt and reduces allergens. Research studies have shown that one cleaning with the HOST System using a HOST Machine reduces dust mites, dust mite allergen, cat allergen and mold spores.
