If you're still undecided between these two methods, here’s a comparison to help you make your choice:

Environmental Impact: Which Method is More Eco-Friendly?

Environmental respect is at the forefront of current concerns. HOST ® DRY CLEANING, in addition to being effective, offers an ECO-FRIENDLY alternative to traditional shampooing or steaming

On another note, carpet shampooing consumes A LOT of water, reaching 20 to 50 liters per cleaning. Additionally, about 70% of conventional cleaning products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which pollute the environment and degrade indoor air quality. Residual moisture can also promote mold and mildew growth, with 40% of carpets cleaned by shampooing showing humidity levels conducive to their proliferation.

Also, HOST ® DRY CLEANING uses only 1 to 5 liters of water per treatment, making it much more sustainable. This method uses biodegradable solvents, with up to 90% being natural solvents, reducing chemical impact. Moreover, carpets cleaned with dry cleaning show humidity levels BELOW 10%, minimizing mold and mildew risks and improving air quality. It also extends the lifespan of carpet fibers, often by 10 to 20 years.

In summary, HOST ® DRY CLEANING is the most eco-friendly method, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional shampooing due to its low water consumption (1 to 5 liters versus 20 to 50 liters) and the use of less harmful solvents.
