Having carpets cleaned means carpets will get dirtier quicker
Based on statistics that manufacturers of wet cleaning systems use only 60-85% of liquid can be retrieved from the carpet after wet cleaning.
Consequently, if 10 gallons of liquid is used in a room, 3-4 gallons of liquid will be left behind. When we look in the waste tank of the machine and see dirty water, we must remember the 3-4 gallons left in the carpet contains the same dirty water and cleaning chemical.
Carpets may appear to look clean after being wet cleaned but the truth is the carpet has just been heavily impregnated with copious amounts of water and sticky detergent. Dirt from daily foot traffic is quickly attracted by cleaning residue left in the carpet that will rapidly re-soil the surface at an alarming rate.
Evidence of a carpets re-soiling is often noticeable within just a few days after wet cleaning, brown or grey patches or streaks in walkways and entrances are the usual signs. However, the problem can be resolved by regular cleaning with Host. Host does not contain any un-natural detergents or sticky wet cleaning chemicals, so carpets will not re-soil and stains will not come back.
As the host carpet cleaning system is DRY cleaning system, this issue will not occur. Carpets will not rapidly resoil as they do when cleaned with wet methods because after cleaning there is no sticky wet cleaning chemical residue left in the carpet that can grab and hold onto fresh soil.
Wet cleaning is the only type of carpet cleaning method on the market
This is 100% wrong! You must have forgot about the Dry cleaning method… HOST
Host works on a different principle. It uses millions of small sponges, dampened with the right amount of water, detergent and a safe-to-use organic material. This allows us to keep control of the liquids at all times during the cleaning process so there is no chance of wick back (stains coming back) or the risk soaking wet carpet.
Host works just like a sponge you use in your kitchen to wipe up spills on a table or counter. When you pass the sponge across the surface it lays out a film of cleaning agent which dissolves and absorbs the soil at the same time. This safe and controlled way of removing dirt meets with the same objective when using Host.
Too often carpet cleaning is delayed to avoid the long drying time and long shut down periods, that’s where the beauty of the Host dry extraction system lies! With Host, carpet cleaning becomes routine, not a specialist project. Because Host is a dry cleaning process, your carpets are back in service as soon as the cleaning is done.

No this is not the only reason.

Having your carpet cleaned frequently will remove the dust and allergens that may be hiding in your carpet, therefore being beneficial to the allergy suffers!

Water marks will never come out of your carpet
Watermarks are a common occurrence on wool content and hessian backed carpet after flood or water spillage.
The source of these brown or yellow stains is usually related to saturation of the carpet backing and migration of hessian dyes released into the carpet fibre. Hessian (jute) dye simply works its way to the surface as the carpet dries out and forms into a brown or yellow stain.
Watermarks can occasional be removed by cleaning the area with as little moisture as possible using a low pH acidic cleaner such as Host Sponges dry carpet cleaner. Excellent results have been achieved using Host Sponges, however, the problem can re-occur within just a few days and it may be necessary to carry out a second or even a third clean to remove any residual staining. Unfortunately watermarks are the most difficult to remove, the rate of recovery is unpredictable and often renders many carpets permanently stained.
There is only one type of carpet cleaning on the market
There are four other methods available for cleaning carpets. However, none of them can compare to the benefits of using Host.
Hot Water Extraction (Steam) Method:
This method is occasionally called steam cleaning. Areas of heavy use are pre-conditioned with a strong alkaline chemical spray to help remove ground-in soil then a heated pressurised cleaning solution is injected into the carpet pile. The soil and chemical solution is then extracted and the carpet is left to dry. If the carpet becomes too wet, hot air blowers are installed to help speed up the drying time. The main disadvantage of this system is over-wetting and carpets are often left wet for several hours. Shrinkage and dye bleed are common factors with hot water extraction, even when the system is paced in the hands of a professional cleaner.
Rotary Pad (Bonnet Cleaning) Method:
The rotary bonnet method uses a machine similar to a floor buffer with an absorbent spin pad attached to the base of the machine. The carpet is sprayed with cleaning detergent and the spin pad absorbs soil as it rotates. When the pad is full of dirt, the pad is removed from the buffer and a fresh pad is put on the machine or the pad is rinsed in a bucket of water, drained then put back on the machine. The disadvantage of this system is pile distortion and transferring soil from one part of the carpet to another. Another disadvantage is the operator has virtually no control over the amount of cleaning detergent being used, rapid re-soiling often occurs directly after cleaning.
Dry Foam Method:
The dry foam method uses a high alkalinity detergent solution which is whipped into foam and applied to the carpet. The foam is then aggressively worked into the carpet with a scrubbing machine fitted with reel-type brushes. Some machines have inbuilt extraction capabilities whilst others need thorough vacuuming after the carpet is dry. The disadvantage of this system is over wetting, long drying times and the possibilities of pile distortion and shrinkage. Rapid resoling is a common problem as there is no proper means of extracting the detergent from the carpet.
Rotary Brush Method:
Cleaning detergent is injected into the carpet pile then a machine with rotating brushes is used to scrub the carpet fibres, the wet soil from the carpet is brushed out and collected into a small tray attached to the bottom of the machine, the carpet is then left to dry. This machine is predominately designed for cleaning hard floor coverings, when used on carpet it can cause pile distortion or untwisting of fibre. With no proper means of vacuum extraction over wetting and long drying periods are common which can lead to shrinkage and rapid resoling.
Carpet cleaning causes mould growth and allergens
If a carpet becomes excessively wet during cleaning it’s very likely the cleaning solution will penetrate into the carpet backing and underlay. If too much moisture is left in the carpet, mould growth could form within just 24-48 hours.
Trapped moisture between layers of carpet and underlay make an ideal breeding ground for mould spores, and because the problem is hidden under the carpet, mould growth often goes undetected. Signs of mould growth are usually indicated by a damp musty odour in the air, by then it’s probably too late and the carpet may have to be replaced.

Upholstery isn’t dirty because it doesn’t look dirty
They reason with the idea that they are not walking on it so it can’t be as dirty as the carpet. These facts about perspiration will help to establish some good reasons for cleaning upholstery. Perspiration residue left on upholstery can often leave unpleasant odours and bacteria which can weaken the fabric and affect the colour. Customers who have pets will appreciate the fact that vacuum cleaning will remove pet hair but not the smell. Transfer of perspiration residue and bacteria in offices and public buildings can also present a serious health risk.
