HOST®-Racine Industries sponsors The Quick and Easy Guide to Green Cleaning in Schools

Racine Industries, the developers of the innovative HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System, is a corporate sponsor of the Healthy Schools Campaign’s The Quick and Easy Guide to Green Cleaning in Schools. The guide is designed to promote a clean environment, healthy children and better education. Through the sponsorship, Racine Industries encourages school districts to adopt green cleaning policies.

The guide supplies readers with a step-by-step multimedia map on how to make the change over to environmentally friendly products and practices in schools. The handbook simplifies the green cleaning process and includes a CD-ROM that contains practical advice, tools and resources to help schools take action. The guide also provides a purchasing guide that lists products that are consistent with the campaign’s green cleaning recommendations.

Using a green cleaning system such as the HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System meets the goals of the Healthy Schools Campaign, helping to foster healthier and cleaner environmental settings. HOST is approved for use by the New York State Office of General Services for use in schools and is approved by the Florida School Plant Management Association. Beyond being Green Seal Certified, HOST has been tested as biobased by the USDA. It is the only dry carpet cleaner in either category. Besides being non-toxic and made from renewal resources, HOST also saves energy and water.
