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!

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.

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.

I usually write reviews only for products that I hate, and I want to get back at the manufacturer for selling junk. But this Dyson product is so great, absolutely fantastic at removing odors from carpets. I have a terrier that insists on p*ssing all over a spare bedroom carpet. Despite repeated steam cleanings, I could not remove the odor from the room. One treatment with this product as indicated on the package, sitting 30 minutes, then vacuuming up with my Dyson vacuum (which is also great), and the smell is gone. One reviewer indicated that the odor after treatment resembles green tea, they are exactly correct, it does. But it is a pleasant odor which does dissipate. My carpets are light brown, and the product seems to improve its appearance, I guess by removing some of the dirt and light stains. The product is pricey (12.99), but I think well worth it. I would estimate it would treat 3 to 4 rooms, with dimensions about 10'x12' fairly thoroughly. One reviewer indicated that they had a reaction to this product. About 20 years ago I had allergies so bad that I used to get allergy shots weekly for a number of years, and I have had no reaction to using this product.
5 stars all the way.

Okay, so... I have a steam cleaner for my carpets. THIS WORKS BETTER! I have light-colored burber carpet with two big dogs and a cat. I realize you may question my judgement when it comes to having light carpet with pets but TRUST ME... this stuff makes up for my lapse in reason. Now I don't want to use my steam cleaner anymore and have to wait all day for the carpet to dry. Zorb is convenient, fast, and so easy to use. It plowed thru stains and freshened odors. That being said, I must mention that it has a strong smell that lasted (even after vacuuming) for a day or so. This could bother some people who are sensative to strong sents. I'm impressed overall and that's not easily achieved! Try it... it's a must have for busy pet owners who also would like thier home to be clean and fresh.

I LOVED this stuff! My carpets are so clean and smell great now, which is a miracle, considering the amount of dirt my two dogs and two year old track in. I was amazed at the result!

I love the way this makes our house smell. It also seems to pick the carpet up abit from the walk-down syndrome. However, this only lasts a few days before it is back to looking the same way again.

We have two cats, and the Zorb has more of an impact than I had thought it would. It is important to groom it into the carpet first, though. A stiff broom works well, and I have yet to try the Dyson attachment meant for the task.

I used the Zorb in high traffic area. It removes dirt and the carpet looks new after Zorb cleaning. I applies twice a year on the high traffic area like the stair and it keeps the high traffic area as good as the rest of the carpet.

This works great and really make the carpets look good. But I had a problem with the smell. It made my allergies act up so bad that I had to wear a cleaning mask just so I could deal with the smell when I was sprinkling it. I found after you vacuumed it up the smell was not so bad. But it was horrible when you are sprinkling it. Atleast for my allergies.
