Meh
Of all the dry cleaning products available, Dyson Zorb is my least favourite. I found it had little, if any, cleaning ability, and no scent at all other than a faint chemical odour. Sebo Duo P performs slightly better in my experience, but that isn't saying much. It also has quite a strong solvent type smell which I find especially unpleasant.
What these products ARE useful for is absorbing spills. Take a handful of the powder and apply to the spill, packing it down firmly, then leave overnight to dry. It will safely "wick" the spill up out of the carpet so it can be swept away, with no risk of spreading the stain by rubbing. The one dry cleaning powder I do recommend is Vorwerk Kobosan. Unlike the Dyson or Sebo products it's a very fine, moist white powder, which is much easier to work deep into the carpet pile. Has a very pleasant perfume, and if applied correctly (with plenty of agitation) leaves the carpet noticeably cleaner and brighter after use. Put it this way, when my carpets where shampooed at a later date, the recovered water was still clean rather than the usual murky brown colour. | ||

I've used Zorb a couple of times. It doesn't clean as well as my Kirby rug renovator, and it leaves a solvent smell. I've given up on Dyson for any type of vacuum cleaning. | ||

Try Host or Capture dry carpet cleaners with their spray wetting-spot treatments-these DO work. | ||

I tried the Host on my carpets & left them streaked & when vacuumed it looked worse. The bottom of the Kirby was all black, had to wash the bar & brush roll off after each vacuum. That continued until I had them steam cleaned. After that vacuuming was normal. Maybe this was just an isolated incident, don't really know, but won't be using a dry/foam method.

I tried Zorb for the first time last month! I used it with my DC17, and first groomed the concoction in with the bin detached, and vacuumed it up after the carpet had dried. The carpeting definitely looked refreshed and cleaner, but it didn't remove any stains. The Zorb itself was noticeably dirtier after being swept up. Weird as it sounds, my apartment smelled like a laundromat afterwards, and I really liked the clean smell.
Please ignore the stacked chairs. I was cleaning!
