Diving into the Host dry extraction method, it's got some bold claims, right? Cleaning as deep as hot water extraction and endorsed by carpet mills sounds like a promising pitch.

Here's the real talk:
It's always good to take those claims with a pinch of salt. While many methods have their strengths, it often boils down to the specifics of the job, the type of carpets you're dealing with, and the results you want.

My advice? Connect with other cleaners who use the Host method, get their insights, maybe even see it in action if possible. Real-world experiences can be gold.

I believe the host dry powder is VERY expensive? And NO it dosn't clean as deep down like HWE. True what the others said about the mess and if you spread the fibers, you can see some of it still there.

Don't let the salesman brainwash you. That's what salesman try to do. I like what steaminpile said also.

HWE can be a form of VLM if your good at it. 1-2hr dry time to me is leaving the carpet with very low moisture on the carpet.

good luck in your decision.

I would rather offer oscillating pad machine cleaning but all I can afford is a swing machine right now.

 

With the right cleaning agents I've had pretty darn good results on quite a few maintenance accounts using my RX20 and a bonnet driver.

 

doesn't get much more simple than hwe..............hose er down and suck er up.....use a coffee stain remover for a coffee stain,,,gum remover for gum,,,,Paint/oil/grease remover for paint,oil,or grease etc.....

A.K.A.

Clik this link and you will see a list of about 50 http://www.actionebiz.com/carpet/manufacturers.htm

Steampile,  I wish I could offer two methods, but I can only afford one to start with, I would feel uncomforable with bonnet, because it only surface cleans, and HWE seems complicated, the dry extraction seems to have the best of bolth , deep cleans like HWE, and leaves carpet dry like bonnet,  at least that is what the host pepole say, I am not going to just take thier word for it, thats why I am asking other Carpet cleaners what they think   Thanks to everyone for the info!
