6 reasons why traditional carpet cleaning methods are failing your home

Carpet cleaning is essential for maintaining a fresh, healthy home - but not all cleaning methods are created equal.

Many traditional carpet cleaning techniques - whether it's DIY methods or companies that use old school machinery - can leave your carpets looking clean on the surface, but will fail to deliver a deep, lasting clean.

Worse still, some methods can actually make your carpets dirtier over time, trap odours, or even cause damage.

Before we explain how Zerorez does things differently, let's take a look at the major long-standing issues associated with traditional carpet cleaning methods:

1. Sticky residues being left behind

Traditional carpet cleaning methods exclusively rely on soaps, shampoos, or detergents to lift dirt and unpleasant smells.

However, these cleaning agents leave behind sticky residues that cling to carpet fibres. This residue acts like a magnet for dirt and dust, making carpets re-soil quickl

Before you know it, your carpets will be looking tired and in desperate need of another clean. How frustrating is that?!

2. Harsh chemicals can trigger issues with sensitivities

These traditional carpet cleaning solutions often contain toxic elements that can trigger irritation for those who suffer with allergies, asthma, or sensitive skin.

These harsh chemicals linger in the carpet, potentially affecting indoor air quality and posing risks for children and pets who spend a lot of time on the floor.

3. Carpet stains that keep coming back

After a clean, you may have noticed that some carpet stains either stubbornly remain, or disappear… only to reappear a few days later.

This is because traditional cleaning methods fail to fully remove the stain. Instead, they push it deeper into the carpet fibres, or leave behind residue that wicks stains back to the surface as the carpet dries.

4. Pet odours that linger

If not properly treated, pet urine and other biological matter can seep into the carpet pad, creating a breeding ground for nasty bacteria.

Pet accidents are tough to clean, which is why traditional carpet cleaning methods often only temporarily mask the odour, rather than remove it completely.

5. Excessive water leading to long drying times and damage

Many traditional methods flood carpets with excessive amounts of water, which can take days to dry fully. This overwetting creates an environment where mould and mildew can thrive, leading to musty odours and potential irreparable damage to the carpet.

6. Outdated equipment that doesn't provide a deep clean

Many conventional carpet cleaners rely on surface-level suction, meaning that much of the grime remains trapped beneath the surface, continuing to break down your carpet over time.

Ultimately, traditional carpet cleaning equipment lacks the modern technology needed to extract deeply embedded dirt and bacteria.

How Zerorez cleans carpets better than anyone

At Zerorez, our revolutionary approach to carpet cleaning delivers a deeper, longer-lasting clean, without any of the drawbacks of traditional methods.

Sticky residue-free cleaning for a longer-lasting clean

We only ever clean with our proprietary Zr Water. This powerful, electrolysed cleaning solution effectively breaks down and removes dirt and grime buried deep within the carpet fibres, and leaves precisely zero sticky residue. This means your carpets stay cleaner for longer.

Stain removal that works

We don't just push stains around - we remove them for good. Our advanced cleaning process lifts stains out of the carpet fibres, preventing them from resurfacing later.

Pet odour treatment that targets the source

Our pet odour treatments penetrate deep into the carpet to neutralise smells at the source. So instead of just masking odours, we eliminate them, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean for the long term.

100% safe for people, pets, and the planet

Both Zr Water and our unique carpet cleaning process is completely non-toxic and safe for your entire family, making it ideal for homes with children, pets, or allergy sufferers.

Advanced water control technology for fast drying times

Our proprietary Zr Wand technology uses precise water control technology designed to create a high-powered rinse and suction that dislodges and removes dirt and debris from carpet fibres without flooding them.

This results in significantly faster drying times and no risk of mould growth, damage, or unpleasant odours.
