What customers say
Customers highly regard the Host Dry Carpet Cleaner for its exceptional cleaning efficacy, especially on tough, set-in stains like grease and pet accidents. The zero drying time is a major benefit, making it ideal for busy areas and moisture sensitive carpets such as wool. Users trust this specialized solution for delicate rugs, praising its gentle yet powerful action for spot treatment. While the results are professional grade, the primary drawback is the premium cost compared to liquid alternatives. Some users also note the application requires diligent brushing and thorough vacuuming to fully remove the compound. Despite the higher price and minor logistical steps, Host is strongly recommended for superior, targeted stain removal.
