Why customers love Zerorez (and why you will too)
You’ve never seen clean like this – and neither have your customers. At the heart of this business is Zr™ Water, our patented, chemical-free cleaning technology that transforms carpets, hard floors, upholstery and more.
No sticky residues. No harsh detergents. Just astonishing results that keep homes cleaner for longer. It’s not just greener; it’s better.
And it’s better for you too, working in a non-toxic environment.
The first time someone experiences a Zerorez clean, they’re amazed. The second time, they tell their friends. That’s how you grow a service business.
Building my Zerorez franchise has required a lot of effort, yet has been the most satisfying experience I have ever had.
Big job values, brilliant margins
Average transaction value of £125+ with upselling potential. Profit margins of 15–20%+. And customers pay on the day, keeping you cash flow positive
Recurring business, not just reactive
Carpets and upholstery need regular cleaning. That means customers come back – and they tell others too
Massive market, modern appeal
Demand for clean, healthy homes is higher than ever. Zerorez is the choice for families and businesses who care about cleanliness without chemicals.
Scale up – or stay lean
Start with a single van and no staff. Grow at your own pace into a team, an office, or multiple territories – or stay solo, with our ZrWare software minimising admin.
Training & Support: You’re never on your own
We don’t just give you the van and send you off – we partner with you from day one, with training, support and tech that covers every part of your journey.
You’ll have a playbook to follow: a business blueprint that’s been honed and proven across more than 100 locations.
Initial training at our UK HQ covers:
- Using the Zerorez system and equipment
- Delivering world-class customer service

Since I had not been in the industry before, I needed a full programme – from being on the van to answering calls to managing all aspects of the business. The franchisor team went above and beyond to get me what I needed.
Changing cleaning for good
Zerorez was founded in 1993 in the USA by two entrepreneurs who believed there had to be a better way to clean carpets – one that was safer, more effective, and didn’t leave sticky soap residues behind.They created Zr™ Water, a non-toxic cleaning solution that delivered astonishing results with zero chemical residue. That innovation sparked something bigger and in 2001, Zerorez began franchising, becoming a top-rated brand with over 200,000 5-star reviews.
In 2023, Zerorez crossed the Atlantic and launched its first UK site in Watford, proving that the appetite for a better clean was just as strong here. That success now paves the way for nationwide growth, with opportunities for you to be part of the UK rollout of a proven global brand.

How Zerorez Watford created the blueprint for future franchisee success
When Zerorez first landed in the UK in 2023, our mission was clear: to revolutionise the cleaning industry through innovation and a franchise model designed for long-term success.
But before launching nationally, we needed to prove our concept worked just as well as it has done on the other side of the Atlantic, where it has grown to become America’s most-loved carpet cleaning company.
And that’s exactly what we did with Zerorez Watford, our first ever UK franchise, proudly established and operated by our head office team.
Now, following two years of strong performance, delighted customers, and consistent growth, this branch has created the blueprint for future franchise success across the country.
A live test of the UK market
Before inviting ambitious entrepreneurs to join our burgeoning network, we wanted to ensure Zerorez’s quality range of professional cleaning services would resonate with UK customers.
Unlike traditional cleaning companies that rely on harsh chemicals and outdated techniques, we introduced something completely different to the market: Zr Water.
Our revolutionary, electrolysed cleaning solution delivers unbeatable results, without the need for detergents, soaps, or toxins, and leaves zero sticky residue behind.
Combined with our 30-Day Gotta-Love-It Guarantee and commitment to environmental responsibility, we offered a service that immediately stood out.
The result? A consistent stream of delighted residential and commercial customers, hundreds of five-star reviews, and year-on-year growth.
Proving profitability, scalability, and simplicity
One of the key advantages of launching a pilot franchise internally was that we could track and fine-tune every element of the business in real time.
From service delivery and van operations, to marketing campaigns and customer retention strategies, we tested it all.
To the benefit of all future franchisees, we were able to confirm:
- The model is profitable: Zerorez Watford quickly began generating significant revenue and boasts enormous potential for further growth.
- It scales at your own pace: Starting with just a single van, our team built a foundation of loyal customers and repeat business. As the Zerorez brand became more established, the option to expand into multiple vans and additional services became a natural next step – exactly as our scalable model was designed.
- You don’t need prior industry experience: None of our UK head office team had professional carpet cleaning experience prior to launch. But with the right training, tools, and systems, our Watford branch has thrived – which is why we can say with confidence you do not need specific cleaning or business experience to succeed with us as a franchisee.
Developing territories with significant demand
In choosing to pilot the model in Watford, we selected a territory with over 100,000 households and businesses – presenting an ideal mix of residential and commercial clients.
Our territory mapping work ensures your franchise will have a similar-sized target market.
With demand for safe, effective, and greener cleaning services on the rise post-pandemic, it wasn’t long before word spread about our arrival and the bookings rolled in.
The franchise now enjoys:
- An established customer base
- A strong local reputation
- Excellent online reviews and referrals
- A growing presence in the commercial cleaning market
For anyone opening a Zerorez business in a new territory, this provides real confidence about what you can achieve in a short space of time.
Want a head start? Zerorez Watford is available for sale!
Now that our pilot franchise has served its purpose, our focus is on growing the Zerorez brand and network nationwide.
That’s why we’re making the Zerorez Watford franchise available for resale at an incredibly accessible price of just £25,000 +VAT.
This includes:
- A revenue-generating business
- A fully equipped Zerorez van worth approximately £70,000
- All cleaning equipment and branding

It’s an unmissable opportunity to take the reins of a profitable business with immense scalable potential on day one, with all the hard work of setup already done for you.
But be quick: demand is peaking following our showcasing at the International Franchise Show!
The foundation for a national Zerorez network is in place
Thanks to our successful pilot launch, we’ve been able to secure British Franchise Association (BFA) accreditation, expand our team, and begin recruiting passionate franchisees across the UK.
We’re proud to say that future Zerorez franchise owners can build their businesses using the exact same blueprint that has made Watford such a success.
