Host

The Host dry carpet-cleaning system is a low-moisture method that leaves carpets clean and dry immediately after use. The system begins with the Host dry carpet cleaner, which is an all-natural product containing a balanced blend of moisture, detergent and a small amount of safe-to-use solvents. It dissolves, absorbs and traps greasy, oily dirt, spots and odors. The dry-clean machine works the cleaner through to dislodge embedded soil. The machine also lifts and straightens the carpet pile, making it durable and extending its life.
