New HOST Esprit Upholstery Cleaning System
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Esprit is HOST's dry foam upholstery cleaner with a full-size base unit and a slide-out handle that extends for travel, which makes it easy to take from job to job. It is built for professional cleaners who handle upholstery in homes and offices, movie theaters, and auto, bus, train and airplane interiors. The base unit makes a dry foam from HOST upholstery detergent and feeds it through a 15 ft two-channel hose to a handheld brush unit. Counter-rotating brushes work the foam into the fabric while stabilizing it, and the foam encapsulates the soil so it can be removed by vacuuming. Low moisture is the whole point. Upholstery is clean and dry in minutes, not hours, with no shrinkage or sticky residue, and HOST says it is safe on most upholstery fabrics and leather furniture. The brush unit weighs 9.5 lb, and a single three-position toggle gives fingertip control of the brushes and full or intermittent foam flow. If most of your work is in aircraft, buses or other narrow aisles, compare the Aridex, which uses the same brush unit on a narrower 13 in base.”
A dry foam upholstery cleaner that travels well
The HOST Esprit is a dry foam upholstery cleaning machine for professional cleaners. The machine and HOST detergent create a special dry foam, which counter-rotating brushes work into the fabric while stabilizing it. The foam encapsulates the dirt, and the residue is removed by vacuuming.
The low-moisture foam leaves upholstery clean and dry in minutes, with no shrinkage or sticky residue. A slide-out handle extends for travel, and the machine comes with a measuring gauge and fill funnel.
Condition: New.
