How to Use the Bissell Spotclean Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner

Here I go over how to use the Bissell Little Green Pet Pro Portable Carpet Cleaner. This is an updated version of the little green machine.
It has a couple different versions. The only difference are the attachments it comes with and the color of the handles. The core machine, motor, specifications and everything else are the same.

I just bought one of these and had to watch this before I could use it as the makers 'instructions' if thats what you can call them are not only useless, they actually make working out how to use even more difficult - total rubbish, why on earth would you sell such a brilliant machine and then not tell people how to use it! thank you for your REALLY helpful video

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad my video helped! How’s the carpet cleaner working for you? I use mine at least once a week.

[@user-zx6kv8gs4e]

@@MyProjectWeekend I've only used it once when my new rescue dog peed on the carpet and was well impressed, odour has completely gone and carpet as new. I did find it quite 'physical' tho and we're in the middle of a heatwave in the UK so will wait until it cools down a bit to use it again as I have plenty of areas it's needed!

Deliberately spilling coffee onto perfectly good carpet - goes above and beyond creating informative review 🥇 👍 😂 Just bought one of these. Bissell could learn lot from this when producing their own online user guides. Thank you!

While I *could* have just read the user manual, in a house with 3 loud boys and pets where I usually can’t even hear myself think straight, having the option to watch a visual demonstration and audibly hear a thorough explanation on max volume was extremely helpful and time-saving🌟

Thank you, just brought one of these & although you can work through pictures in instruction book, much easier to see a demo. Have used, and cleaned 👍🏻 excellent instructions & I love this machine.

Very nice review. Now I understand how to use this kind of spot vacuum cleaner and its unique function 👍

Awesome glad it was helpful!

[@JohnWells-lm5fq]

I’ve had this vacuum for a few years now and it’s still going strong. kzbin.infoUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was cleaning it today and thinking about how much I love no bags to buy and that it comes apart for easy clean up. When I first purchased it we had two dogs and a cat and it kept up well. The suction was great then and still is now. I’m always amazed at the amount of hair it picks up, it works better than any other vacuum I’ve had for pet hair. The attachments are handy and work well. It’s easy to use with arthritic hands. I just had to come write a review because I’m still so pleased with this purchase.

Thanks for sharing, just got my ( carpet pro )and put it to use right away!… This bissell took me a minute to understand that you can scrub the carpet while spraying at the same time, but I should have ordered the one where you can push back & forth with a handle because boy let me tell you being on your knees cleaning carpet is nasty work, definitely not for the lazy or weak person!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

would be more fun if you had on speedo & suspender socks. having said that... I very much appreciate finding out the clear tops of included attachments are not meant to be removed (and why) for cleaning. when hair, dog poo or whatever gnarly bits gather - THANKS TO YOU...I use the solution infused water I've primed out (making sure I'm applying warmest water to filthy area to be cleaned) into a container to pull through attachments intermittently. no waste. no speedo. no socks with suspenders.

good vid, thanks

[@cindyherget5196]

Excellent demonstration Would like to see how the power cord wrapped up… I wish it had a built in heater or power steamer… although it’s used by close hand at the nozzle end they probably won’t had a hot steamer because lack of consumers self responsibility. I love my yellow steamer that I can add water to while still running and hot… and I’ve never gotten burned but it sure is the best machine to clean my fridge and pet clean all other areas I use it in everything I’d use a washcloth on. Anyway Thanks for the demonstration I think pets is a nice way of saying kids goopy messes… especially the stomach flue in the night… the spot containment thing would be awesome for kids stomach flu season alone…

Great Video, now I know what the Stain Trap does 🎉😂

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

Excellent "how to" video. Just got my first spot cleaner and had ordered "carpet shampoo" to use with it, but after reading the manual, they are saying carpet shampoo should not be used because of foaming. You'd think it would be OK when these are just "mini carpet cleaners", and a shame they failed to mention it on the Amazon page or give recommendations. I've now got to return the bottle, unless I could add fabric conditioner to counter the foam?? Not sure what to do.

[@paolacuriel]

Thank you! This video really helped me to use it🙆🏻‍♀️

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Awesome, I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you.

[@martonl300]

I have the Spotclean Proheat version. My cleaner head has a release button to remove the clear plastic cover whereas you state it can't be removed. There is a release button to release the head from the hose but there is also a release button to take that clear cover off so you can clean it.

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Nice! Mine sadly does not release and there is no way to take it off without destroying it. I’ve heard other users have the same issue. Glad to hear there is a version out that there that is made to release. Thanks for sharing!

[@pinkelephants2679]

That's only on the "deep clean" head which has 3 sharp points in the middle that rip your carpet. Do not recommend.

[@benfilas6441]

Thank you for the informative video! One question, why do you dump out the rest of your cleaning solution you did not use? Can it not be kept in the tank for the next time you need to clean a spill?

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Thanks and glad it was helpful! It could sit in there for a day maybe but stagnant water can start to grow bacteria and cause other issues. I wouldn’t leave any water in the tank for more than a day. Good question!

[@AlexAveryPT]

After you’ve scrubbed the carpet and start spraying, scrubbing and sucking up the water at 7:43, are you both scrubbing and spraying the carpet together first and then sucking up the water after?

[@HiCZoK]

You can just open the head. I've seen it in other vid. You pull from the bottom with 2 tabs. Just pull with your fingers. it is designed to be opened apparently. I dont have one yet but I am looking to get 1558 pro. What formula from bissel would you recommend for couches and chairs? Like computer fabric chair and car upholstery

[@AaronShumaker]

Will it run without the nozzle attachment on? Can you just use the hose if you occasionally need a basic wet vac?

This turning my already light colored carpet even lighter... like it's bleaching it. What am I doing wrong? I used the proper combination of cleaner vs water.

Ok question I use it I like it 2 ND one . The hose is a pisser . It broke again . I wish the hose was softer not so hard .meaning I wish it was more bendable.

Thank you!! I couldn’t figure out how to use this and seemed to just leave a wet mess.

[@sandraantunes5373]

I cant use other detergent, in the machine?

[@chrisdeegan5245]

Do you find using hot water is better than cold - I cant see anything in the manual about temp of the water? also great video

[@MyProjectWeekend]

I like to use hot water out of the faucet. I think it works a bit better. The user manual recommends a maximum water temperature of 140 degrees F or 60 degrees C. Does that answer your question? Thanks for watching!!

[@DonnelleGriffin]

I like your videos with the fact that you let it set for a bit and turn the machine off and agitate it for a bit then you suck on the stain/solution. I've seen alot of videos that they are quick to spray, agitate and suck up right away. I think you need to let it sit for a few minutes after you scrub it back and forth. I have a Yorki/Maltese that is almost 11 years old and he has incontinece issues and can't hold it all day while I'm away for work. He has been potty trained and then quit using the pads so you have me sold on this machine. As I have watched several videos on small spot carpet shampooers and this is what I'm going with. I use to have a huge Hoover smart wash machine and after 2 years even thought I clean it out after each use it started blowing out black smoke from the motor. Amazon wont let me return in and the local dealers said it's more money to fix it than the $199.00 that I spent for it in the beginning.

[@MyProjectWeekend]

Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I hope your Yorki/Maltese is doing ok!

[@gentleoutdoors]

I have an old cat who pees and throws up on my carpet and I've found that the best way to clean is to spray, agitate, leave for a few mins, then spray while sucking it up till it's just slightly damp. I then leave it 24 hours and go over again with just water to rinse any left over solution on the carpet which means it has had plenty of time to work. End up getting alot more dirt out that way I've found!

[@jdefeo100]

Mine has very bad suction. Not sure what’s wrong.

[@Lord_Nemesis8]

Not all models come with the stain trapper. Does yours have a blue handle or a purple handle?

Can this machine be used for an entire couch that has pet odor (purchased the couch secondhand, and did not realise how much it smelled!!).

Yes! I’ve used it on couches, chairs and car seats. Depending on the fabric it might not suck up as much water though, so just keep that in mind. Here’s a video I did cleaning my chairs.

Yes, the Bissell carpet cleaners work, but they don't last. The hose breaks after a year or so, and then the carpet cleaner is useless. I will purchase one again once they fix this problem.

[@diannabowen3868]

I had to throw this machine away last week. The problem with this one is that you cannot replace the hose and I not only had mold growing in the hose but there was a hole in it also. I did a LOT of research and even contacted a representative from Bissell, who told me I could not replace the hose. So a $200 machine had to be tossed. NOT happy about that!

Hmmm. I had a vacuum cleaner store replace the hose for me as it had split. Under the 2-yr warranty so it didn’t cost a dime.
