The Zerorez founders tried all the name brands in carpet cleaning and discovered quickly that no reliable and effective cleaning process existed. Those out-dated processes always left RESIDUE, which naturally attracted more dirt and and they failed to truly CLEAN the carpet fibers. They set out to find a way to eliminate the residue and get the carpets REALLY clean. Their research and development led to Empowered Water™ and they patented our process. The result...Zero Residue! It's simply "The Right Way To Clean®."

The Zerorez Story began in Texas in the late 1990’s. The founders managed 3,000 apartment units and were frustrated with their carpet cleaning challenges. As a result, they began looking for a better cleaning solution but found that the carpet cleaning industry had been using the same process since the 1940's! The founders tried all the name brands in carpet cleaning and soon discovered that no reliable and effective cleaning process existed. Those processes always left residue, which naturally attracted more dirt and bacteria, and they failed to truly clean the carpet fibers. They set out to find a way to eliminate the residue and get the carpets REALLY clean. Their research and development led to Empowered Water ™ and then patented our process. The result… Zero Residue! It's simply "The Right Way to Clean™.”
Zerorez Franchising Systems, Inc. was formed in 2001 and the first operating Zerorez bases opened in 2002 in Dallas and San Diego. The first franchises were sold beginning in 2003. Today, there are operations in various markets across the Country as we continue our growth towards a national footprint. Our rapid growth is based on our differentiated process.
Typical cleaning of carpets and upholstery mixes hot water with a wide variety of soaps and detergents, some of which can be harsh or even toxic. By contrast, the ZEROREZ® cleaning system does not use soaps, detergents or shampoos to clean, but instead uses our revolutionary Empowered Water™.
Empowered Water™ is applied to both hard surfaces, like stone, stainless steel, or granite, and soft surfaces, like carpet fibers, upholstery and leather via a high-pressure spray, both releasing embedded soil and cleaning the surfaces. The soil is then removed, leaving just the extraction water on the surfaces, which dries quickly and without any soil-attracting residue.
Our franchise owners have become increasingly successful as leaders in our industry, and we look forward to expanding this brand
across the United States.
Franchise Territories
Our individual franchise territories are areas encompassing a population of up to 300,000 in population, based on the 2010 Census. We expect franchisees to start with one specialized Zerorez mobile unit, but grow to as many as six over time as they gain market share. Many markets are currently open in the United States. Review our Locations listing to see where operations currently exist.
Regional Developer Territories
We currently sell Regional Developer franchise territories in defined geographies called DMA’s (Designated Market Areas). These are regions in the United States as defined by The Nielsen Company, in which mass media covers a defined geography. Population in each of these is most commonly over 1 Million in population. There are currently 210 DMA’s in the United States.
We expect Regional Developers to start with at least three specialized Zerorez mobile units and meet a development schedule that results in one mobile unit per 100,000 in population.
