Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This cleaning powder is designed for use with Dyson vacuum cleaners, which carry the claim that they never lose their suction. Zorb is specially formulated for cleaning high-traffic areas and is even safe for wool or stain-resistant carpets. The powder gets sprinkled on and groomed into the carpet where it rests for 30 minutes, absorbing dirt within millions of tiny sponges. When the carpet is dry, Zorb vacuums up along with the dirt without leaving any sticky detergent residue behind. Zorb is dermatologically balanced so it won't cause skin irritations and is made of 100-percent recycled and biodegradable ingredients to maintain an environmentally healthy home. This single bag contains 26-1/2 ounces (750 g) of carpet maintenance powder. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars renews carpets, December 19, 2004

This stuff works great! My carpets range from 22 years old to 10 years old. It deodorizes, and cleans to renew your old carpets! Great for in between steam cleanings. Easy to use...just sprinkle on, brush in and let dry - dust, dirt and animal hair cling to the sawdust looking particles and it easily vaccuums up! In less than 30 minutes your carpets are dust free, dirt free and smelling great, there are no overpowering smells, just clean! It is great for allergies!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Cleaner!, February 3, 2008

This review is from: Dyson Zorb Carpet Maintenance Powder (Kitchen)

This stuff is great. I vacuumed my carpet first (filling my canister with dust and cat hair) until no more dirt or hair filled the vacuum canister. Then I sprinkled this moist 'saw-dust' Zorb all over the carpet, then I used a Dyson accessory to comb it into the carpet. Then I wait for it to dry (about 30 min) and then vacuum it all up. What shocks me is how much MORE cat hair and dust gets vacuumed up. I got about 2 more huge handfulls of hair and dirt out of the carpet that simple Dyson vacuuming alone did not get. Dirt, dust and hair sticks to this Zorb stuff like glue. My carpet is so much cleaner! I used this bag in a 12x14' room.

Don't get me wrong, I vacuum my carpet every 2 days with my Dyson. Each time I vacuum it, I get at least 1/2 a canister of hair and dirt out (2 kids and 3 cats will do that). That's much better than any other vacuum I've EVER used...which would only require a bag being emptied about every 4 months. I love my Dyson. It doesn't clog and it sucks up dust right out of the carpet pad. Amazing!

Zorb works great. Smells great. Only slight downside, I did not realize I would have to vacuum my carpet about 8 times to completely get all of the Zorb and attached grime out of the carpet. Wasn't hard, just took about 15 more min than expected. Well worth the amazing clean floor. The carpet is even softer to walk on.

This review is from: Dyson Zorb Carpet Maintenance Powder (Kitchen)

I used this product on a college apartment that had 2 years worth of dirt tracked in from college kids and a very dirty lab mix traipsing through it all the time. The carpet had been ground down to a texture that seemed more like solid plastic than carpet. I had tried carpet cleaners at various times but nothing seemed to work. I would have had to pay the apartment complex a lot of money to replace the carpet if I couldnt find a way to fix it. I spread Zorb on the carpet and really worked it in, waited until it dried and vacuumed it up and WOW! The carpet wasn't perfect but it really took the years off. The color of the light colored carpet returned almost to its original hue and whats more amazing is that the texture of the carpet actually improved! It felt so soft and all the little bristles of the carpet were standing up again like it hadn't had years of being stamped down flat. If I had used this every month or so as carpet maintenance from the beginning I would have kept the carpet looking brand new. Whenever I've used it since then I've always been happy with the result.
Maybe it didnt work for some people because they didnt work it into the carpet?
Also, I saw this product bothered a users allergies. I can see how this could happen but I tend to have awful allergies and am miserable using most carpet products (especially the powders) but this one didnt bother me at all. I would recommend smelling or testing the product before using it on your carpet if you have allergies just in case.
