How each one cleans
Zerorez says it cleans with Zr Water, an electrolyzed, ionized fluid it says works like soap without harsh chemicals. It rinses the carpet with an enclosed extraction wand.
OxyMagic puts down a light amount of hydrogen peroxide based cleaner and works it into the fibers. Once it dries, vacuuming picks up the loosened dirt.
Drying
Zerorez says its typical dry time is between four and eight hours, depending on temperature and humidity, and that Zr Water gives it significantly improved dry times over competitors. Ask your local operator what to expect for your carpet.
Most OxyMagic carpets are dry in 1 to 2 hours, depending on the carpet and the weather. We use a light amount of water, so there's less to dry.
