I don’t mop anymore! I use a BISSELL steam mop! 👍 Works great to clean tile floors, just add water that heats up to sanitize the floors. You can also add BISSELL liquid floor cleaner in different scents, also have scent discs. The steamer comes with 2 cleaning pads, that can be removed and washed , I air dry them. Replacements are available as well.
I THINK the instructions say to do a RINSE water pass as well. Leaving behind soapy water in the rug will attract new dirt faster. Doing a rinse pass also lifts more dirty water out of the rug and leaves the rug cleaner and fluffier (such as if you have a low pile carpet). The other thing to watch out for is the little rubber grey round gasket with the tab on top of the dirty water reservoir tank. That has to be fully seated in place or you will not have good suction and will leave lots of water behind in your carpet no matter how many passes you make. Pet hair will collect up behind the roller brush, so reach up in there and pull it out with your fingers and have a paper towel handy. This product is phenomenal at getting rid of pet hair. I bought an industrial size bottle (3 gallons?) of generic carpet shampoo at Home Depot or Lowe’s. It’s too big to store in the house cabinets. I use a TURKEY BASTER to get the liquid shampoo out of it bc it’s too big to pick up and pour. It only takes ONE TURKEY BASTER suction grab to add to the soap canister. Otherwise you will have too much foam. It has worked fine in my Bissell and is much cheaper in this super large size. It will take years to go through it. Simply take apart the turkey baster and run with the dishes in the dishwasher. FINAL TIP (SAFETY): Walking back and forth to the kitchen sink to dump dirty water (put a sink drainer to catch pet hair) and refill the soapy/rinse water tank will no doubt cause some drips on your floor, which could cause a slip and fall. ALSO just walking on your damp rug then onto your tile/wood floor can transfer soapy water onto your flooring, creating a slip hazard. So before starting to use the Bissell, grab some big old bath or beach towels and lay them down in your proposed walking path. Run thru the washing machine later.
Thanks for the tip. I just wish I didn't have to refill the clean water canister every three minutes. It seems the water is pouring out onto the carpet when the trigger on the handle is squeezed.
This was a very informative review and how-to for this specific model. I received this as a present after a few puppy accidents and a family member taking pity on me having to clean by hand. This short video made this whole process a breeze! Cleaned two area rugs for my first use of this machine. Cleanup was a cinch! Would agree if you have a carpeted home, probably need a different machine. This is absolutely perfect for home with area rugs. Only tip I would offer is that if you have hardwood floors and are concerned about moisture being trapped between rug and floor (and then making water marks/ruining hardwood) to possibly move the rug to different area such as basement (if you have one), or other floor that is more protected such as vinyl or tile. If that is not an option, would possibly use some barrier to put in between such as painter's plastic sheeting or contractor bag, etc.
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. I couldn’t find the power button and after watching your video, voila.❤️. I had to reload the water 4 times but it was definitely worth it. The rug looks AMAZING. I use the Bissell deep clean solution and it worked better than the average solution. One room down 3 more too go.
Excellent review! I just bought mine and will be using it this weekend. Your video helped me feel at ease using it the first time and avoid damaging the carpet or my hardwood floor underneath.
VERY, VERY WELL DONE. Informative, easy-to-follow, and enjoyable to watch. The speed with which the tips were given was good, also. I feel more confident about using my Turboclean Powerbrush Pet Pro for the first time. Thank you very much, Madison!!!
Hello from Baltimore Md. I literally just typed in the name and there you were,😊 i Love your review and tips 🤗 Thank you so much, i also used the Bissell clean and protect with Woolite, amazing turn out, Fresh and Clean. Thank you and God Bless.
Thank you! Very thorough yet efficient review! I just bought this and I am excited and also ready to process how filthy my rugs are. Subscribed! Keep up the good work!
Hello, watched your video. You were very informative and detailed. Nice energy & enjoyed watching you. We bought one and used it last night...we were very impressed. What an amazing little cleaner. Thank you so much for sharing!
I like the reviews. I am having a leaking problem when I finish cleaning and turn off the machine. I think I am putting the knob on the clean water tank tightly. I will try it again when I use the machine again. Thanks for your tips.
I bought one of these and was looking forward to using it but there were no instructions in the box and the directions on the box were so small I couldn’t read them.
debating about getting this. i got a handheld which is nice but i hate getting on my hands and knees to use it. I found the portable nice and got rid of the stains i had on the rug for years. BUt again getting on hands and knees be a pain at times.
I just got this for my tiny apartment area rugs. While it definitely picked up dirt, my rug looks the same...I don't understand how your much dirtier rug looked better. I'm debating on getting the 2x pet revolution, but I'm worried about it taking up too much space
I just used this cleaner for the first time and I had to refill the clean water canister every three minutes. The water must be pouring out when the trigger on the handle is squeezed. Very aggravating.
Do you have to hold the trigger to dispense the formula and to extract the water into the bottom tank? Or do you let off the trigger to extract the dirty water into the bottom tank?
Thank you! I ordered from Amazon and put together after staring at box for 2 days:) Easy to put together. so it's go forward and spray and going back no spray. how does the dirty water go back into machine? is it like a vacuum? sucks it up? i've never used one....THANK YOU
Me either I use the 4X PRO max cleaner in the silver bottle. It has a stain preventive in it & smells fantastic & I have a Bernie a Cane Corso & a German shorthair. You can't tell I have dogs unless you hear them bark. It smells fresh
Does it leave the bottom of the rug damp on top of the hardwood floors? Worried about maybe dampness sitting on top of the wood floors -don't want to mess up the hardwood floors
It was user error the twist on cap of the dirty tank wasn't threading right. I was focusing on the snaps not clicking but that didn't mater. Thanks for the help 🎉
Sound like you have a lot of animal hair maybe. Try giving it a good vacuum before using it. It’s meant to shampoo not really vacuum so it’ll clog and spit out big clunks of animal hair if you don’t vacuum well first
Yes Vacuum 1st. It's only meant to clean. If it stops sucking dirty water turn it off pull the dirty water tank lift out the purple black tube insert rinse with water & dump the tank & rinse it. Just used my new 1 today & it did that & it was gritty dirt that made it stop pulling dirty water. Soon as I rinsed everything & out it back together it was fine. That purple black piece curves at the bottom so you have to angle it to get it in but then it straightens up. Make sure you line up the collar right.i have a model 2806
Just bought one but no matter what I do, I can't get it to spray. I tried resetting the wash bottle several times but that didn't help. Guess I will just take it back to the store.
Very nice review and tips. I’m disappointed with mine only because the dirty tank has such a small volume to collect before full. If doing a larger rug or carpet it requires dumping frequently. Also to clean around the roller / brush is not easy after using. I had a larger Bissell when I had wall to wall carpeting and it died after about 10 years. Sadly it was much easier to clean up for storage. Both plastic pieces popped off and the brushes popped out. This one you can remove several screws to get the roller out after removing the belt (!!) but the plastic cover with the tiny ridge still doesn’t come out to clean and it traps a lot. Very frustrating if you have dirty rugs or pet hair. Your tips for wiping with a cloth behind the roller is great for minimal buildup. Thanks for the video!
Does this get rid of odor? I just paid for my carpet in my bedroom to be professionally cleaned. It LOOKS clean now, but there is a faint odor that still lingers.. even after trying the baking soda/vacuum trick
I just bought this. It came with a bottle of Bissell 4x pro max cleaner w/stain preventer. It's a safe for pets formula. My area rugs hadn't been done in a Year. Been handling my parents estate... Anyway I thought it was a great price $113. I vacuumed thoroughly 1st. Put it together in 5 mins. Filled it up w/cool distilled water like it says to & added the cleaning liquid. I was shocked. Seriously. Even with cool water the dirt it pulled was nuts. One catch though if too much granular dirt or sand goes thru to the dirty tank it will stopp pulling water into the tank. You have to take off the dirty tank & dump it. Thoroughly rinse it & the channels in the tube insert. Make sure you line it up back right when you put the tube back in the lower tank. The curved purple piece has to be angled to get it back in the tank. Line up the collar lines. Then it's just fine. Cleaned my area carpets like new. Dried in 2-3 hours. Hubby & I went to dinner came back 2 hours later & the house smelled like high dollar laundry detergent & fresh . I have 3 dogs. You couldn't tell. I highly recommend it !!!
