Hi Pan! Great videos to watch once again! Enjoying your channel :) Maybe a question/suggestion.. Today I did a spotrepair on a foodtruck. Doing it on the spot with my mobile-setup, which wasn't easy outside, but got alot of attention ofcourse. I do sometimes use a tent aswell if possible. But it might just be a nice idea, although many 'beginners or enthousiasts' can be anxious about doing things like that, we're all in it for the learningcurve in cardetailing. And I actually noticed, you didn't really have a video about spotrepairkits, sprayfillers and putty's or fe. spraycans vs sprayguns vs touchup-pens or even the oldschool-ways of using needles/syringes or even toothpicks and denibbing-tools . It might be an interesting thing for you to do videos about that aspect in detailing and touching up scratches :) What methods, kits available, from beginners to expert-knowledge etc...many things for the community to enjoy :)

[@waynefromnewfoundland8740]

I have a Bissell unit. I use it on my car. I run hot tap water through the unit and I use P&S products. Terminator and Carper Bomber. Great products. If you are an enthusiast, this combo won’t disappoint you. I know as an enthusiast, I keep my vehicle on a regular maintenance schedule, so built up dirt will never be a problem. But for pro’s, no doubt, the Mytee unit is the way to go. Great video Pan. Maybe if I win the lottery I can upgrade. 😂😂Till the next one.

[@luxuryshine8507]

Bissell actually is good enough for most, and if used properly it won't brake at all, like many claim...just be aware of the home-use intention and be carefull with putting pressure on the head. I actually love mine, especially since I'm working out of a small hatchback. The bissell fits my needs perfectly tbh ;-)

My Bissell is FOUR YEARS OLD! Like many viewers, I’m thinking of the Mighty Mite after my Bissell bites the dust. STRANGE TIP: My auto detailing vendor said if you don’t use Bissell’s carpet shampoo, add about a tablespoon of Downey Fabric softener down the hose, otherwise, the Bissell machine will overdose on suds. Thanks again for ANOTHER great video!

[@neilwalker5041]

Pan you did an awesome job explaining some of the differences between these two machines. Growing up in carpet mills in Northwest Georgia I have seen a lot of carpet. Basically if you are doing two or more interiors a week get the Mytee. This machine is built for hard work and offers more lift which will save time not having to make extra passes. The downside is more maintenance is required on the Mytee. The Bissell will clean very well but it just takes more time. The upside is the smaller head fits in tight spaces better and the maintenance is much easier. When your the one backing the warranty on carpet hot water extraction is the top tier level of cleaning. Thank you for another well thought out video Pan.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Neil, much appreciated feedback from a person with real world carpet experience!

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

This is an excellent overview on what these two machines are capable of. Thank you for your insights Pan! I've used a Bissell for a few years now, but I've been thinking on making the switch some something with a little more juice. I think the Mytee is the way to go, but as you said, Detail Geek and others including myself are doing insane transformations using a budget conscious Bissell unit and it works! A lot of this business is technique and having the right tools to save time (make more money) so I think the Mytee will do just that for me.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I agree. Well said.

[@coreyadams4704]

Bought the Bissel a couple of days before seeing this video and I’m so glad I did. I always stayed away from cleaning carpet for customers because I didn’t want to spend the money on the high dollar units. Had a customer call for just a carpet clean so I was forced to purchase one. Went to the local target and bought the same unit you used in this video. Fantastic job, customer was over the moon happy!! Thanks for backing up my purchase!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Cool! Yeah for light duty cleaning, especially if you don't clean carpets as part of a detailing business on a daily basis, a small spotter like the Bissell can still do a very good job, especially considering it won't break the bank. ;)

[@aaronthomas829]

I've been wanting the Mytee 3080 for a while. I use the Bissell, to step it up I use my Tornador fun to loosen dirt then extract.

[@donovan22]

I love my Bissel Spot Clean Pro! I use it for almost 5 years now. After 5 years the hose ripped, i replaced it myself for 30 euro's. I reccomend not winding up the hose too tight like I did :) Great video as always!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing!

[@paulquickmire2379]

Hi Pan, I bought the Bissell Spot Pro to use for my vehicle but also for inside the house (rugs, sofa arms, stairs etc). As you said the price for us weekend warriors is not to be looked down upon, it's a great little machine, does everything I want it to do for the limited times I use it. I haven't regretted buying it, I saw it as an investment to my small detailing collection. I have to say it was nice to see you included the UK in the description for the links to get things you used, it's sometimes hard to get or find the equivalent products you have in Canada or the USA. I was fantastic to hear you on your guest appearance on the Specky & Paul detailing podcast, I thought it was great you took the time to speak to two great UK detailers and fellow KZbin'rs.

[@joevanseeters2873]

Both of these units have very useful purposes in detailing. I have both style's, but honestly I tend to lean towards using the Bissell far more often due to it's portable size and decent performance, especially on well maintained vehicles that you are just looking to do a once or twice per year maintenance cleaning. One really cool unit I have been lately was the model put out by Larry over @ AMMO NYC. His unit is a specifically designed unit that took the best of a steamer and the best of an extractor and combined them. STEAM helps fabric cleaning tremendously. I would say it close to doubles your performance than without steam. Of course you just need to be mindful using steam on certain interior parts (especially painted buttons) but as long as the material you are cleaning is fabric, steam isn't going to degrade the fabric if using the steamer as directed. The ultimate would probably be a Tornador also integrated into the mix combining an extractor, steamer, AND the Tornador head. Tornador does make a vacuum hose attachment (I think in their black series). The Tornador head (Pan has other videos on that series of tool) can be integrated into your extractor/steamer making the ultimate detailing interior cleaning tool.

[@dandezz]

I bought a Bissel for my home detailing operation and I'm impressed..small but mighty. I just wish the hose was a little longer for better maneuverability of the unit. Un autre banger panner..

The hose is the only reason it’s necessary to upgrade to a larger unit

[@M1ke10191]

The Bissel Spotclean was a great investment. Mine is a different model I believe, but it was $110 or so and it works great. I purchased it more to clean up pet messes on my carpet but it worked good on my upholstery too.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

[@jeepguylv80]

a couple things i would mention on these cleaners, i have used the little bissell spot cleaners since the late 90's i think it was called the little green machine or something, the thing i like most about them vs the mytee is the small handle, definitely more maneuverable in an automotive setting as far as getting around seat mounts and up towards the dash floor board area and up the sides of the door edge ect., i like to fill mine with hot water and no solution, then i use a pump sprayer with lite solution scrub with brush then extract, following with water only extraction to remove all solution out of carpets so there is chance of residue because that is the #1 cause of attracting new stains. but i am sort of ocd when it comes to left over residue on any surfaces lol it drives me nuts when i can feel or smell left over cleaner, plus that way it doesn't interfere with your chosen air freshener. just my opinion. love your videos pan !!!

[@christopherhaak9824]

One other little tip. The Bissell uses polycarbonate tanks. Since the tank is small, you can fill it with hot tap water and then put the whole tank in the microwave and heat it up to ~80 C or so. Works best if you are just using plain tap water with no cleaning solution. Using your technique, which is a great one, after the clear water cleaning, the drying is very fast due to the heat and the cleaning and extraction is better with the heat. You don't want to go to a full boil (100C) on the extraction water, but you can get it quite a bit hotter than tap water.

[@joshparker209]

Been using the Bissel since I started has done very well

[@paul6749]

Interesting video. Brushing the lines into the mats at the end is a nice touch. Like others have commented, I shouted at the screen when you didn’t empty the Mytee into a separate container….Lol. Emptying the Mytee looked slightly awkward - I.e. having to tip the machine.

[@donschlegel1972]

Thank you, Floor mats I would always lightly pressure wash by hanging them up until the water runs fairly clean. I might spray some solution in lightly and brush them but generally there’s just too much dirt in there there too. Spend time with the Extractor until the very end 40 years experience.

[@matthewfarrell317]

Not sure if you guys over there have it, but Bissell in Australia has heatwave units, it wont heat the water, but keeps the hot water hot when cleaning. Makes life so much easier.

[@extremecarpetcleaning-wvwi86]

Every cleaning unit works great with lots of elbow grease. I've used a little green clean machine for the traffic patterns in a living room years ago. Took 3 hours and killed my body but it did okay. Definitely prefer a truckmount machine. I can do a living room in 15 minutes.

One tip with hot water extraction is to also “prime” with the hot water first back into the tank so that you get that 180-210 deg water from the beginning.

[@Iknowonlywhatimtaught]

I have the Bissell spot pro. Using it takes a lot of work and time on very dirty seats and carpet. I spent 3 hours just getting the cushions on 1 seat clean. Clean is when nothing but clear water being extracted. A pro unit would be much better for large filth jobs. It can be done on the smaller bissell, but to get the job done fast, get the right equipment for the job. The name spot pro is mostly for lighter jobs where the vehice is mostly taken care of. I have the MC1275 steam cleaning machine. Does a great job of paneling and frame of Engine cleaning. I use purple power on really dirty engines and carpeting that has grease and oil on the enterior 1 oz Thanks Pan great review.

My mom had a Bissell carpet cleaner and the floor part stopped working but the hand held tool still works fine so she gave it to me. So it basically works like the Spot Clean Pro, but it has a heater. The only downside is it's larger than most stand up household vacuum cleaners so it's a bit more bulky than either of these units, but for free with a water heater, I can't complain. Although if I do start doing detailing full time the Mytee Lyte would be a good investment for the sake of speed as my Bissell definitely takes a bit of time to get stuff out of carpets.

This video is perfect timing as was just researching Bissell and thinking of options! I love your channel Pan it’s taught me so much as a newbie weekend warrior in the UK. Two questions if I may: 1. if you’ve already sprayed and agitated cleaner into the mat can’t you simply do a plain water extraction without another product in the unit itself? 2. Would you recommend firmer bristle drill brush for heavily soil carpets rather than the light ones you were using? Thanks Pan!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the positive feedback! 1. Yes you can. If the mats are super dirt though, or you want them to smell good, having the extractor shampoo is great. 2. You wouldn’t want to damage the fibers so I would do multiple passes of a softer brush. If you want to use a stiffer brush attachment, make sure you test on an inconspicuous area first.

I’m not a dealer but I do like keeping my vehicles looking as new as possible. I’m in the trades so my truck get dirty. I’ve gone through several bissel units. I use boiling water in them knowing that it will break the machine down faster but I’m ok with it. The amount of productivity the boiling water yields was undeniable. I had a customer get in over their head on a project and gave me their truck as part of the payment they owed me. I bought a bissel because the truck had never been cleaned in 12 years. I spent some 9 hrs with that bissel cleaning the truck. The water/cleaning solution I pulled out looked like espresso. They were smokers and they had a greasy dog. I took on the challenge and won. But all that time I spent steam cleaning I wondered how much time I would have saved using a commercial unit like this. I now only run rubber floors in my trucks and have seat covers like Duluth or carhart canvas type stuff.

Just think, in all thr money you spent on those Bissell machines you could've invested in a much nicer extractor

[@dennissnoek93]

stop using it in the extractor why, i use boiling water for pre cleaning wait a few minits and then use the extractor, my bissel is over 5 years old and still going strong. just use hot water first and then the extractor same result less money spending

[@sawdustadikt979]

I could have, but that is over a 25 year period. Most of them worked when I put them away and didn’t work when I went to use them 5 years later. They don’t store well for whatever reason. To me, at that little price they are expendable. I would jump on getting a used commercial unit that was in good condition though. I don’t really need one like I did when I was younger and my kid was smaller. I got a lot of use out of one of them when my kid was little, that thing was in action all the time.

This was a great video pan, I’ve been looking at buying the mytee 8070 and so far all the reviews I’ve watched and read say it’s good but they is one common complaint with the quality of the hose. Can you share your experience with it? Has your hose broke or split at all? I noticed your drain hose was broke in a few spots. Thanks again for the great video.

[@billynoabs9014]

As a weekend warrior my only issue with the Bissell is the tanks . Run out of water very quickly and the dirty water tank fills to quickly. They clean nicely . I've just purchased a Karcher and love it ...but same issue as the Bissell...need to fill the water tank twice to do a full clean on a car . Another issue I have come across is the cleaning detergents. Some of them like the Bissell may foam to much causing your vacuum to either switch off or foam out the sides

[@MotivatedPiller]

I have the Bissell Little Green myself. Unfortunately it doesn’t have enough power (to me) and will be upgrading in the near future!

[@amill1563]

Without having seen the entire video yet just wondering what the difference is between a steamer and an extractor. If you could only choose one for car detailing or perhaps even home carpet cleaning which one would you choose?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

A steam cleaner just shoots steam. Meant more for disinfecting and sanitizing surfaces. You could get away with steam cleaning a carpet and mopping up with microfiber towels, as many do, but you would never achieve the same level of deep cleaning in upholstery and carpets as you would with a proper extractor. The carpet extractor shoots hot water (or even better, a hot cleaning solution) deep in the fibers, wetting them and helping to dissolve the deep dirt and grime, and sucks it all back up thanks to the exctraction/vacuum power. You can't guarantee that you picked all of the cleaner up with just the steam cleaner, so if there is still some left deep in the fibers, it could start to brown the carpet or fabric, or reactivate the dirt the next time it gets wet. If you only have a limited budget, instead of buying one expensive version of one of the tools, get two more budget friendly units. So instead of spending 500$ on an extractor, you could buy a 200$ carpet extractor and 250$ steam cleaner, and you get both tools for different jobs. :)

I've owned a MyTee for the last 5 years and it constantly has problems and it's too heavy to lift in and out of my vehicle along with the many boat cabins I put it in as they're up on land when I do them. I'm going to replace it with the MyTee S300-H as it's much smaller and lighter. Only downside will be the water capacity. I had a Rug Doctor spot cleaner for a while and it proved to be more reliable than my 8070. It was much easier to transport as well. The MyTee S300-H looks like it's the best of both.

Does this same concept work for seats and carpets? I’m assuming do carpets first, then floor mats so the carpets can dry? Any considerations when doing an extraction in cooler weather.

Thanks Pan. I just picked up the Bissell for my wife’s fabric interior seats and our new carpets in the house. I have WeatherTech mats in our cars so we don’t really need to use it there. Would be great if you could do a video on how to use the Bissell with fabric seats. My main concern is not saturating the seats too much for possible mold.

Great video , couple of questions , so I’m just starting out on carpets in homes ….. I have bought a bissell big green 1400w extraction cleaner but. I wondered what method and solution should I use. Should I mix up a prochem solution and agitate with a soft broom I bought , then clean water only in the bissell to get the dirt and soap out or mix it in the 2 gallon bissell tank and clean that way ( treating any stains first) ? Also what do you think is the best cleaner to put in the machine to leave little residue after. The carpet to be fair are incredibly dry after completion. Is it possible at this stage to a hippo like results before upg9along the way. Thanks again great video

[@joekae1841]

I owned a professionell extraktor and a spot clean pro, so i can say the scp is valid for private home use, but the parts break easy and are not compareable to a ruggedized extraktor. Also suction is ok for private use, but no more

[@pilotavery]

The Bissell is probably 85% as good as the mighty. Really freaking impressive when you consider not just the price and size, but the convenience. For anyone who is not purchasing it for professional use, the Bissell is definitely the one to get. For some people who are using it professionally but only once a month or so or less, the Bissell actually might make more sense despite its shortcomings, yes, it's a little bit more work to emptied out more often, but the price is really good.

I just recently bought the 8070. Have both units now, but keep running back to the bissel as a backup. The Mytee has done 4 cars and have already started running into problems... Had to replace a check valve after the 3rd car, now after the 4th car nearly the entirety of my solution tank has leaked out on the floor. Leaving me to believe the pump is now bad! Why am I running into so many issues with this already!! I thought these were supposed to be the best in the business!!

Did you try reaching out to the brand? I never heard complaints from fellow detailers that use this machine in their business. Perhaps contact the place where you bought it from. These things come with stout warranties for situations like yours.

[@davidleitch3199]

For $1300 the Mytee should come with an extension wand so it can be used on household carpets. The Bissell works great, I wish they made it easier to replace the hose, you have tear it down quite a bit to replace the $50 hose it’s less troublesome to just buy a new one.

[@Dirty_Bear22]

Hey pan, Coming from a background of truck mount extractors, I was trained to remove as much dry soil and debris as possible. For larger areas, it was 4 back and forth passes with a vacuum that has a powerful motor driven brush roll (specifically Riccar tandem air, or Kirby uprights). And for smaller or hard to reach areas we used Tornador Velocity Vac, hooked up to a shop vac and a high output air compressor. This is considered to be crucial, since wet dirt essentially turns to abrasive mud, this can lead to poor extractor performance, damaged carpet fibers, and bleed through clay stains. So I gotta ask, why the disconnect in procedure between car detailers and home carpet cleaning professions? In your own video, and videos from many other car detailers, I see carpets/upholstery cleaned with a suction only tool. Suction removes surface debris, but cannot agitate and separate carpet fibers the way a brush roller can. So you ultimately have a lower dry soil removal rate. This increases certain risks such as: 1. Leftover sand is abrasive, when pre agitating a carpet detergent with a brush, you effectively wet sand the carpet fibers, the more leftover soil the more carpet tufts get frayed from abrasion. 2. High concentrations of dry soil will turn into a thick mud, which tends to sink deeper into the pile, making it more difficult to extract, and costing more in time and chemicals. 3. After wetting dry soil, if large amounts are present, deep soiling can actually transfer to the surface of the carpet/upholstery. I don’t mean to sound rude by the way, Just trying to learn a detailers perspective. Other big detailers got offended by the question, so I just wanted to make that clear. 😅

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I'm confused. Did you not see the agitation part with the drill brush attachment and the carpet cleaner BEFORE the extractor was used? I don't see the disconnect with both industries personally. I showed the way I do it: 1) Agitate loose dirt and debris with a carpet brush. This loosens the fibers and gets dirt ready for pick-up. 2) Vacuum the surface to pick up loose dirt and debris. 3) Pre-spray with a carpet cleaner. 4) Agitate with a drill brush attachment. 5) Mop up excess liquid with a microfiber towel, which also gently scrubs the surfaces and traps dirt particles in the microfibers. 6) Use the carpet extractor to inject an appropriate cleaning solution with warm water (or heated in the case of the Mytee) for a deep clean, dissolving grease and grime, and sucking all of that up with the succion power of the integrated vacuum. 7) Let it air dry. 8) Apply a fabric guard. That's the correct way of doing things at least in the detailing world. I don't see what you would do differently in an automotive setting really. I never get offended when people can bring up points in a civilized courteous manner the way you did by the way. So kudos for being respectful and asking questions that you need clarified.

[@Dirty_Bear22]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for getting back to me! I did see the dry drill brush, I probably should have addressed it better. My reasoning is agitation followed by vacuuming, isn’t quite the same as agitation and simultaneous vacuuming. Brushing alone brings debris out, but gravity will cause some soil to fall back between the pile fibers as you brush, carpet fibers quickly move back to their original position recapturing particles as well. Thus when you vacuum afterwards the carpet fibers holding dirt don’t remain well remain separated. When it’s done simultaneously, the brush bar will part the individual fibers allowing airflow to actively better reach between the carpet fiber. Furthermore some motorized brush bars are designed to impart vibrations into the carpet pile which causes debris to surface as well. To be clear, I Don’t see any problem with the actual extraction segment.( Extraction procedures vary greatly depending on the person or company, some use pre spray only+plus hot water rinse, pre spray+ detergent+no final rinse, and some use pre spray+detergent+neutralizing rinse.) Just wanted to touch on the vacuuming portion. There used to be a video showing 30g of sand embedded via 80lb roller on floor mats, then comparing recovery efficiency of various vacuuming methods. I recall all other methods falling behind by 20-30% compared to a powerful brush bar vacuum. Can’t find it anymore though… At this point I’m tempted to recreate the experiment!

@@orthodox1717 A canister vac with a small air driven turbo brush, some canisters have small motorized brushes as well. Dyson cordless vacuums with motor brushes are another great choice. Finally for awkward spots we have the Tornador Velocity Vac. For removable carpeting use a full size quality vacuum.
