HOST® Dry Carpet Cleaning

Maintaining clean, attractive floor coverings is essential for property value, occupant health, and professional presentation. Yet conventional hot‑water extraction, commonly referred to as steam cleaning, often leaves carpets damp for many hours, disrupting daily activities and increasing the risk of microbial growth.

HOST® Dry Carpet Cleaning offers a low-moisture, eco-conscious alternative to traditional steam cleaning. Using a proprietary plant-based sponge system, it effectively lifts dirt and stains while leaving carpets dry and ready for immediate use. Lazarian Carpet & Drapery Care, LLC offers this innovative solution to homes and businesses seeking a cleaner, faster, and healthier way to maintain their floors.

As a result, an increasing number of homeowners, facility managers, and real‑estate professionals in Rockland County, New York are turning to this method to achieve visibly cleaner, healthier interiors.

What Is the HOST® Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System?

The HOST® Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System is a low-moisture process. It uses special, plant-based micro-sponges that are lightly moistened with water, biodegradable detergents, and safe solvents to dissolve and absorb dirt from carpet fibers. A counter-rotating brush machine works the sponges through the carpet, lifting the yarns, removing embedded soil, and distributing the cleaning mixture evenly. 

After a brief dwell time, the now-soiled sponges are taken away with a high-filtration vacuum. This leaves the carpet clean, dry, and ready to use immediately. This method avoids the long drying times, microbial risks, and fiber damage often linked to traditional hot-water extraction.

Benefits of HOST® Dry Carpet Cleaning

  • No wet carpet: The HOST® process employs a low‑moisture, sponge‑based compound, so fibers are never saturated. Carpets are dry the moment cleaning is complete, allowing immediate foot traffic, eliminating the need for air movers or fans, and preventing conditions that encourage mold, mildew, or odor formation.
  • No sticky or soapy residue: Because the cleaning media is mechanically removed rather than rinsed, no detergents or shampoos remain in the pile. The absence of residue means soil and dust have nothing to cling to, so freshly cleaned carpets resist rapid re‑soiling and keep their “just‑cleaned” appearance for an extended period.
  • No filling or dumping of water: Technicians are not required to shuttle bulky hoses, fill extraction tanks, or dispose of dirty wastewater. This streamlines on‑site logistics, reduces the likelihood of spills on driveways or flooring, conserves thousands of gallons of water over time, and shortens overall service duration.
  • No chemicals to mix: The HOST® compound arrives pre‑formulated and ready for application, eliminating guesswork and ensuring consistent cleaning strength. This reduces chemical‑handling risks for both technicians and occupants while minimizing the chance of over‑application that could harm fibers or indoor air quality.
  • Removes dust mites and other allergens: The counter‑rotating brush action and absorbent sponges physically lift and trap particulate matter—including dust‑mite debris, pollen, pet dander, and fine dust—at depths where conventional vacuums and some wet systems struggle. Independent tests document significant reductions in common indoor allergens, benefiting individuals with asthma or respiratory sensitivities.
  • Safe for all types of carpet: Whether the flooring is modern solution-dyed nylon or a hand-knotted oriental rug, the HOST® method cleans effectively without using too much heat, water, or harsh chemicals. These could shrink fibers, cause dye migration, or separate backing materials. Manufacturers often list dry extraction as an approved maintenance method for warranty purposes.

Why Choose HOST® Over Traditional Wet Carpet Cleaning In Rockland County?

  • Immediate Access to Your Space: Traditional steam cleaning often requires 6 to 24 hours of drying time, forcing occupants to avoid freshly cleaned areas and relocate furniture. HOST® Dry Carpet Cleaning, by contrast, leaves carpets dry on completion, so family members, employees, and customers can resume normal activity without delay.
  • Healthier indoor air: Hudson Valley humidity paired with wet extraction can create odors and support mold growth. The HOST® method adds virtually no moisture, preserving air quality. 
  • Proven eco-responsibility:  HOST® is Green Seal™ certified, recognized by the U.S. EPA Safer Choice Program, and uses roughly 97% less water than steam cleaning. 
  • Superior Fiber Protection for Every Carpet Type: Without high heat or excess water, HOST® avoids shrinkage, dye bleed, and backing delamination, protecting your investment and preserving warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. “Dry” carpet cleaning refers to low‑moisture or moisture‑controlled systems—most notably HOST® Dry Extraction—that rely on absorbent cleaning compounds rather than large volumes of water. The compounds are lightly moistened with safe cleaning agents, brushed through the carpet to dissolve soils, and then vacuumed away, leaving the carpet dry and ready for immediate use.

Yes, when performed with a certified system, dry carpet cleaning is both safe and beneficial. Because it avoids excessive heat and water, it prevents issues such as shrinkage, backing delamination, dye bleeding, and mold growth. 

Dry carpet cleaning is a highly effective method for removing deeply embedded soil, dust, and common allergens from carpet fibers. Using advanced low-moisture cleaning compounds, such as those in the HOST® system, this method gently lifts and absorbs dirt without oversaturating the carpet.

Stanley Steemer’s primary service is hot‑water‑extraction (“steam”) cleaning, which flushes carpets with heated water and extraction wands. While the company employs powerful vacuums to remove much of that water, the carpet typically remains damp for several hours (commonly 4–8, depending on airflow, humidity, and carpet thickness). It is therefore not considered a true “dry” cleaning method; full dryness on completion is a feature associated with low‑moisture systems like HOST®, not with conventional steam cleaning.
