Indoor
Air Quality with HOST
Carpet plays in important and healthful role in filtering the air
indoors. 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 the indoor environment and
descend onto it from above. Substantial research suggests that 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 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 No. 074202-WI-001)
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%.
This study was also presented in July 1996, at the Seventh
International IAQ Conference in Nagoya , Japan . |
