Zero Rez must be similar to tennant h2o. They run an electric current through the water which as far as I know creates or separates the hydrogen. Creates hydrogen bubbles. Does that actually clean? Any better than Chem dry CO2 bubbles? Sounds like snake oil to me.

"We use a great citrus spray to break all the soil and oils off the carpet "
does their magic water rinse d'lime, and home "soils 'n oils" better?
get past all the marketing pablum they're feeding the masses
their whole hat rests on their claim their water rinses away more contaminates. spotters and pre-sprays than any other solution
anyone with a clue would ask..
Are there any credible studies that suggest their claim is valid?

http://www.clarkeus.com/aboutus/newsandevents/news/tennantabandonsec-h20.aspx Is zerorez doing something different than this? Note, Tennant abandoned their claims, found electrosied water cleans the same as tap water.

I eat wendys chili everyday and meet a lot of CC . A guy from SS was there we talked he was older 30ish anyway I asked to see the equipment so he showed me. I never seen it before. I just asked how hot the water gets for cleaning. He said it gets very hot at 130 and I said that's great, Now my unit gets to 210- 230 atm but I didn't say anything. Their units run at low rpms and have a low growl from it, But they are number #1 in name so good for them.We both clean carpets and everyone knows Stanley Steemer but are also finding jack on the carpet. One job at a time and no pressure from jack now you see me & now you don't. Have a great day and thank you. jz.

Doing a little more research on it, Zero Rez uses empowered water created by an electric generator system from "Eau Technologies" The solution created contains sodium hydroxide. If you think you've heard that word before, it's the main ingredient in lye soap. Eau technologies can produce alkaline water (b solution) or acid water (c solution).

I should start wearing a lab coat. Sadly, a man bun must remain only a wistful dream.
Do a comb over and a pony tail. Youll look younger!

I do. I sneeze everytime I see their trucks.
No, they don't use lye. That's an old myth. Their system is a joke though. They're just sending the electric current through water with laundry suds, or soda ash and rusting out the entire system that has a required replacement of every 3years $30K water system. And the truck mount replacement every 5 years.
But that's not the normal outfit with the AW29 wand and blue jeans? Cash flow must be low with having to replace their rusted out system

It's not water with laundry suds. It's salt water. You need minerals in the water to create the electrolysis. Pure water won't do it.
I agree with you. Laundry suds/soda ash is Sodium Carbonate. Just another type of salt water
I absolutely believe in the test results that Stanley Steemer has achieved and advertise @Mikey P. Stanley received their first certification in 2013. It took them (Stanley Steemer International aka our corporate office) more than 2 years to receive and complete the certification process (it’s progress and estimated business impact was discussed regularly throughout the process during conventions, quarterly marketing meeting, etc....) since receiving the Carpet cleaning certification Steemer has received certifications for our tile & grout and wood cleaning services as well as our Spot Remover product.
Just because Steemer is currently the only Carpet Cleaner to recieve this certification I have no doubt others could achieve the same results but the certification process was more expensive, more extensive, and more legitimate than most of you all will give it credit...
HOWEVER, the biggest issue to me is because one of the main testing criteria involves “Monitoring Airborne Allergens” during and after cleaning the use of an upright vacuum cleaner prior to cleaning will immediately ensure you do not pass. Unless you’re prevacuuming procedure exhausts all air outside the home (ie... prevac with your wand) your cleaning service will not pass. Maybe this helps... AAFA has alot of the testing criteria, etc... on their website if you’re curious.

Sounds like you perfectly service the needs for a hypochondriac...

I don't doubt the validity. Its the insinuation that SS has something exclusive to offer in their cleaning that I find fault with.
Rather than "The Cleaning Industry " being elevated as to what improvements we make in clients homes, SS marketing would have you believing only they are capable of those results.
I believe the IICRC dropped the ball. They have preached for years about cleaning for health. Yet no accreditation to back it up.
Stanley is not a person and is incapable of any such admission. I, @CJ-FL, am expressing my belief that the use of a vacuum cleaner disturbs the indoor air quality, which I’m sure you and most others can attest to. If you use them they smell like ass. That’s because even HEPA filtration can do only so much to contain dog ass day in and day out.

Everyday is Saturday.
Most of y’all need to understand that their water works very well at doing exactly what it is supposed to do, and that is to differentiate zerorez from all other cleaners and it seems to be working.
Same thing with Stanley, their consistent yellow branding keeps their truck rolling everyday and in a big impressive way.
Remember there is always going to be good franchises and bad franchises, good techs a bad techs, at the end of the day are you making money and enjoying it?

CJ no disrespect intended. It's more frustration with the situation than with you or SS. We have heard for decades we should be pushing Cleaning for Health. Dr Berry informed us of the need to "Empty the Sink" yet here we are, out marketed by a franchise.
Change your vacuum bag and it won’t stink. That’s really not a good reason to not vacuum. Cough cough

It has to, however its nowhere near as bad what a portable is doing to the indoor environment. Add moisture and instead of minutes of machine time, it runs hours.
at the end of the day you need to provide what you feel is best for the customer. If she truly has asthma, allergy, lung and/or breathing issues using the vacuum that you just used on you last rat nasty may not be the best option... however, if I walk in and the carpet is visibly dirty and has debris all over, it is most definitely in the customers best interest for me to vacuum. We have to remember not to always force our wants onto them... decipher what THEY need and deliver, rather than forcing what YOU want into them. In some homes, I feel that vacuuming contaminates the carpet more than it cleans.... if that’s not the case, maybe you’re vacuum isn’t being used frequently enough.... or maybe I just have nasty customers... there’s always that...
