That is a great idea! Next time I clean the carpets I am going to try this. Thank you :)

@@lifeofleannarose6869 no problem! I really enjoyed your video. I know that this adds an extra pass but for me it really improved the feel of the carpet. It also seemed like I was able to get it clean faster the next time and that it didn’t get dirty as quickly. Awesome content! Keep it up!

when you rinse your carpet do you just add water without the cleaner to the vacuum and do it all the same way?

Thank you for this useful tip along with the reasoning behind it.

@@rachelbernhardt4419 I did initially just use water alone in the carpet cleaner as a rinse and sometimes I still do. But if I cleaned the carpet with a lot of soap or a harsh soap then I try to rinse with vinegar water mixed. I also used this method for spot cleaning a stain- I would put soap on the stain and scrub it manually, then use the machine or I would use the machine to scrub with just water to rinse it. This is super useful when you don’t want to use a lot of water. I use it when cleaning my car seats. I spray them with a bottle i mixed of a little laundry detergent with water, then I scrub them with a soft brush (or a drill brush) and then I use the carpet cleaning attachment with just clean hot/warm water. I’ve been learning more about cleaning vs. disinfecting for a while. And the added benefit of using vinegar with the water is that it balances out the ph of the of the cleaners. I think a mistake a lot of people make is that they “over clean” and sometimes damage things that make it harder to clean in the future. A common example is that this happens in tubs. You can give your tub a light scrub to get off all the soap scum and completely disinfect it, but if you use extreme abrasives, chemicals with abrasives, and scrub like crazy you actually end up scratching the coating and finish on the tub and it stains easier and becomes very difficult to clean. The same thing happens with carpet. If you drench your carpets with every harsh cleaner and just leave it in there, it damages the carpet and makes things worse in the long run. Sorry for the long response, I know you asked a simple question but hopefully this just gives background to anyone reading. I highly recommend spot testing an hidden area though just to make sure there are no issues.

I have tried that and yes, it is crazy to see how much more comes up!

Thanks for the tip, I’m using mine now & will go over as you suggested

you can also you a sprayer or spray bottle put the cleaning solution mix in there, spray the carpet to pretreat. let it sit for 30mins to break up dirt then all you have to do is run a warm water cycle with the carpet cleaner it pulls up dirt and shampoo

Can't hear

Thanks for the tip! Will be trying this!

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching 😊

Thank you!

Thank you! And yes, I would agree hot water is best, I use warm water because my sink just doesn’t get super hot. Definitely try out OdoBan!

OdoBan is awesome. There are three scents to my knowledge. The gallon is concentrated so I keep a diluted mix on hand for cleaning. I often use the diluted mix in my laundry as well.

No rubber round piece, only the gray plastic piece that screws on and off.

You could. I have a Dyson Vacuum I love though, so I haven’t tried it.

That happened to me also and I found that I just did not have the hose pressed in fully. Needs to click in solid

Same for me. I'm going to try it again, but I sure thought that it was plugged in tight.

Go to the manufacturer's website and look up your machine by its model number and you should be able to find a pdf instructional for it.

No

I think you may have bought the Bissel ProHeat Revolution 2x Pet (not the Pro). The features you're missing are not included on the standard model, but only the Pro. The biggest difference I found the easier way to tell them apart is the color. The Pro is purple and green, while the non-pro is orange. Hope this helps!

@@caseyhoyt7353 Some non-Pros are blue - mine is. But "no cleanshot" pretty much screams not a Pro unit. (Bissell's naming is getting confusing, since the "Pro" models actually have "Pro" twice in their name. ProHeat != Pro...)

No. The brushes that spin on this machine could damage hardwood floors.

But what about glass floor?

I drain it in my bath tub. I make sure to vacuum my carpets really well before using the carpet cleaner so that there isn’t much hair going down the drains. The grass is a good idea if you don’t want to put it down the drain!

I use my toilet.

@@michaellewis6569 Yeah. Definitely don't do bathtub - it's easy to clog it. The trap in a toilet is much larger since it's kind of designed to have large chunks of semisolid matter going through it...

Thank you :)
