What is the HOST System?

Dust Mite Allergen

A study of 25 homes in Wisconsin was conducted to determine the effect of HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning on dust mites. The study 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 that was accepted for presentation at the Sixth International Conference on Indoor Air Quality and the Environment in Helsinki , Finland .

Pet Dander

Pet allergens are one of the top indoor allergens to which people are sensitive. In 1995 and 1996, several homes with a cat in the residence for at least one year, were studied for the presence of cat allergens and the effects of HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning in reducing them.

The study established that cat allergens (dander, hair and saliva) in carpet can be decreased 85% with a single HOST Dry Extraction Cleaning of carpet. A second cleaning reduces the number of these allergens to even lower levels.

This study was presented in July 1996, at the Seventh International IAQ Conference in Nagoya , Japan .

Mold and Mold Spores

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.

Indoor Air Quality 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%, while levels in the Wisconsin homes (temperate climate) decreased by 94%.

• Grout is a porous material that absorbs dirt and grease.
• Grout also absorbs liquids used for cleaning, making removal of the dirt difficult.
• After cleaning, the dissolved dirt can wick back to the surface making the grout look dirty again.

• The Liberator®, Freestyle® and Reliant® machines counter-rotating brushes scrub the grout and dislodge dirt and grease.
• HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner contains a balanced blend of water, detergents, wetting agents and natural ingredients that dissolve and trap dirt and grease.
• HOST is safe to use because it does not contain bleach or acid and does not emit any noxious fumes.
• Grout is clean and dry as soon as the cleaning is done.
• HOST leaves no chemical residue behind to attract dirt and cause rapid resoiling of the grout.
• For cleaning hard-to-reach areas, use the HOST spotZAPPER®.

HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner Dissolves and Traps Dirt. HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner is all natural and contains a balanced blend of moisture, detergent and a small amount of safe-to-use solvents.

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 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%, Dust Mite Allergen by 75%, Cat Allergen by 85%, Mold Spores by 85%. EPA Establishment Number: 074202-WI-001.

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.

University laboratory tests prove HOST is not a food for dust mites. They eat only protein—skin scales—HOST is not a protein.

HOST Cleaning Dramatically Reduces Cat Allergen in Carpet

Pet allergens are one of the top indoor allergens to which people are sensitive. In 1995 and 1996 several homes, with a cat in residence for at least one year, were studied for the presence of cat allergens and the effects of HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning in reducing them.

The study established that cat allergens (dander, hair and saliva) in carpet can be decreased 85% with a single HOST Dry Extraction Cleaning of carpet; a second cleaning reduces the number of these allergens to even lower levels.

This study was presented at the Seventh International IAQ Conference in Nagoya, Japan, July 1996.

Mold & Mold Spores Also Dramatically Reduced with One HOST 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.

Ten Ways You Can Improve IAQ...

1. Fix roof and pipe leaks promptly.
2. Keep HVAC equipment dry and operational. Disinfect drip pans often, change filters regularly.
3. Insulate to prevent condensation.
4. Increase ventilation/fresh air into building.
5. Reduce humidity and keep indoor surfaces dry.
6. Switch to low odor VOC paints, adhesives and cleaning products.
7. Control dust; switch to treated dusting cloths.
8. Remove dust buildup inside HVAC ductwork. Filter the air to trap dust and other airborne particulate.
9. Use a high retention vacuum cleaner that retains particles larger than 0.1 micron. Respirable dust may be redistributed if a dirty or faulty bag is used.
10. Use the HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System for carpet care and maintenance.
