General

• Carpet Cleaning
  As a leader in the carpet cleaning industry for 30 years, we're delighted that HOST has proven to be an ideal way to clean today's hi-tech, stain-resist carpet.
• Vacuuming
  Least Total Soil: Before vacuuming the samples for extractable matter, it was found that the HOST sample (Sample A) weighed 75 grams/m2 less than Sample C (hot water extraction) and 280 grams/m2 less than Sample B (bonnet).
• Deep Cleaning
  Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System proved to be ideal for deep-cleaning stain-resist carpeting without removing the stain-resist properties of the carpet. The tests were performed on clean stain-resist carpet and equalled 5 to 10 years of normal cleanings.   Importantly, the results of the tests showed that multiple cleanings with the HOST System had no more impact on the stain-resist properties of the carpet than a year of weekly aggressive vacuuming.   And that should be reassuring news for those who are concerned about protecting their carpet's warranty.
• Residential Cleaning
  Certified's tests also showed that the HOST System was just as effective in removing spots and spills as home cleaning remedies recommended by the stain-resist manufacturers.   And because the HOST System was specially developed to clean carpeting, it was found to be significantly better in reducing the occurrence and degree of resoiling.

Damage Restoration

• Water Damage Restoration
  Wanted to establish a maintenance program for the carpet that would deliver the best results at a reasonable cost. They organized a three-month test in the casino to help them decide on a method - testing HOST, hot water extraction and bonnet cleaning.   Three high-traffic areas in the casino were maintained for three months using these methods; all three areas chosen were the same size and were exposed to an equal amount of heavy traffic.
