User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between this and the SteamVac also by Hoover
Answer:	I have been comparing them to decide which one I want, this one (hoover Power Scrub) has automatic mixing of the detergent solution and the water, so you can choose a water only (rinse) or water with cleaning solution. The SteamVac, you must mix the solution in the water tank, so in order to rinse you would have to completely empty out the clean tank and then add just water. The power scrub only turns off the scrub brushes when the handle is in the upright and locked position. The scrub brushes on the SteamVac can be adjusted for gentle, normal, and off. They both use heated air on the dry (suction) strokes to help with drying. It looks like the SteamVac might be a little cheaper but then it doesn't come with all the attachments the power Scrub does. In fact it is a little vague on which attachments come with it. I checked the owners manual for both of these for this information. The Power Scrub is about 2 pounds lighter than the SteamVac. The assembly of the SteamVac seems a lot more involved. I think I am about sold on the Hoover Power Scrb Deluxe carpet cleaner.
Question:	can the brushes be shut off
Answer:	There is a rubber flap on the back of the dirty water tank. If you open that, it breaks the airflow that drives the brushes. It won't pick up liquid while the flap is open though, so I spray and scrub with it open, then seal the flap to extract liquid. I'm not sure if that is the purpose of the flap, but it works.
Question:	Do i have to rinse after i shampoo? seems like an annoying extra step. never had a carpet cleaner that did that
Answer:	If you think of shampooing your carpet like shampooing your hair, it makes sense to rinse. Adding shampoo to you hair and then stepping out of the shower might make your hair clean, but it's not going to be soft. Long ago (LONG ago) when I shampoo'd carpets as part of my job, we were taught to think of it as hair: (a) Lay down a bit of water first; (b) apply shampoo; (c) rinse it out. If the carpeted area was heavy traffic, do just like the shampoo bottle says -- apply a second bit of shampoo, work it in, and then rinse it out. Over the years I've ALWAYS done that when cleaning my own 2500 sq feet of WHITE carpet in my house, and it always comes out fluffy, soft, and white. Even with several black dogs.
Question:	Would you recommend for pet owners? I have 4 pets and wonder if the pieces are easy enough to take apart to remove hair that will surely accumulate
Answer:	This was my first scrubber for carpets. I broke my ankle soon after I got it, so I only got to use it 3 times. I thought it did a good job on open areas. I did not like how it did close to the edges of the carpet where it meets the wall. I used it on steps and it did fine. One thing I remember is hold the dirty water container tightly when you go to empty it or the dirty water can spill out all over your work that you've done. Once you have figured out how to assemble and take apart, it is fairly easy then. I liked the fact that it gets the water up fairly well. For the money, I am happy with it, I have two cats. Must mention it takes some strength to work on steps and edges, as I used a large toothbrush. But the latter doesn't have anything to do with the animals, I was just giving you my opin of the machine.

Easy Stain Removal - Tips & Tricks

1. Blot up any excess mess until your blotting cloth does not transfer any more liquid.

2. Release a small amount of foam and scrub the stain with the built-in brush. Thoroughly soak the stain to twice the size of the stained area, because the stain may have spread on the backing of your carpet.

3. If necessary, allow the formula one to two hours to work. Repeat as needed until the stain is gone.

4. Blot the area with a wet rag to rinse the treated area.

5. For vomit and feces stains, use paper towels to remove as much of the mess as possible without rubbing the stain in. Work from the outside in to minimize spreading the stain.

Product description

Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Compact Deep Cleaner

Strong spray and suction contains at least 50% recycled plastic. 3 inch stain tool helps you scrub stains away.

Dimensions: 13.8 lbs Check for suction at the back of the unit after removing the hose where it attaches to the back of the unit. If there IS suction at the back of the machine with the hose removed, follow these steps: Unplug the unit from the outlet. Check the Pre- and Post-Motor filters for debris. Dirty filters can restrict airflow. The Pre-Motor Foam Filter is square. You can find it in a pull-out tray under the Dirt Tank. The Foam Filter may be hand washed in cold water with mild detergent. Reinstall the filter when it’s completely dry. The Multi-Layer Post-Motor Filter is rectangular. It can be found on the side of the machine. Note: The white Multi-Layer Post Motor Filter isn’t washable. Make sure the dirt tank is empty. Check the upper tank for build-up or clogs. If it needs to be cleaned, use a short, Phillips-head screwdriver and take off the separator plate with a cloth (can be dampened with water or mild detergent). Replace dirt tank. Check for good suction at the end of the upholstery hose. If there’s good suction, make sure the hose is connected firmly to the lower hose on the back of the vacuum. If there’s no suction, check the hose for splits, cracks, or clogs. Make sure the Brush Roll is rotating. If it isn’t, take the access plate off and examine the brush and belt for damage. The access panel can be taken off by lifting the four tabs on the bottom of your machine. Clearing clogs detach the Upper Hose from the machine. Insert a broomstick into the hose to push any obstruction through. Remove the screw from the left side of the lower hose on the back of the unit. Straighten this section of hose by pulling it down or laying the unit on its side with the lower hose towards the top side. Look through the hose for any obstruction. Use a broomstick to unclog the hose. Power source - corded. Power rating: 3 amps.

User questions & answers

Question:	How can I clean the suction brush head
Answer:	The brush head detaches from the hose. I clean it by running extremely hot water through it. You could even soak it in a warm water bath if needed. If there is a hair stuck inside the plastic portion, you can use an unbent page clip to dig it out.
Question:	could you use this to clean car upholstery seats
Answer:	Yes you could, yelyah - this cleaner is designed for carpet and upholstery!
Question:	Has anyone taken the suction head apart for cleaning the fuzz that gets stuck along the side
Answer:	I have a spot-bot as well as a Bissell upright (about to buy this little green one) - and I use a zip tie - the kind you can use for bundling wires - very long and flexible - as long as the fuzz inside the suction head is still wet, a zip tie works really well for me!!
Question:	What am I doing wrong? My sprayer doesn't work. I just tried my little green for the first time. I tried pumping the trigger, then tried holding it for a time. help! I am hoping it's not defective and is just operator error. Thanks
Answer:	Sorry to tell you this - I've had my first machine for yr and it worked fine until it would no longer spray- since it was old I thought some part must have worn out - and since it had given me many yrs of great service - I just went out and bought another one - I have had this new one for just about a yr and now the same problem is happening to this one - I've given up and use a spray bottle to apply solution and the machine to pick up the residue - I'll have to be in touch with the company - but this does seem like it could be a chronic problem.

Product features

Why should I use a portable carpet cleaner?

It’s the convenience! Take many of the features of a full-size carpet cleaner to hard-to-reach places around your home. These machines can remove smaller deep-down spots and stains quickly and on the go, meaning you don’t have to break out your full-size carpet cleaner every time.

Why are carpet cleaners better than a spray or foam?

Carpet cleaners use a combination of warm water, special cleaning formulas and powerful suction to get deep down, below the surface of a spot or stain, where sprays and foams can’t reach. Carpet cleaners are also more effective in removing stains for good, whereas with sprays and foams, there’s a possibility the stain may re-appear.

Are full-size, upright or portable carpet cleaners better?

Both have their benefits – it just depends what part of your home you need to clean. Portable carpet cleaners are excellent for stairs, area rugs,

upholstery, auto interiors, and other smaller spaces, while full-size, upright carpet cleaners are best for large areas like whole rooms.

Cleans Multiple Surfaces

Easily clean carpet, upholstery, stairs, area rugs, auto interiors, and more.

User questions & answers

Question:	does anyone own this machine over a year and its still working
Answer:	Purchased in 2018. By and large, very happy. Woke this morning planning to do a couple rooms after the machine had been idled for about 3 months. For reasons I cannot fathom, the cleaning solution mix is failing to spray. Motor is running fine. All else seeks okay. But its just not spraying. Reading these answers, I'm wondering if I've failed to clean the unit properly or as often as it needs. ??? One reviewer suggested clean water through it. But if its "plugged up" how would I do that at this point? I'm open to suggestions/ideas! THANKS!
Question:	Does this clean tile
Answer:	Good question! With the optional bare floor tool, you can use this cleaner to clean hard floors like tile. Check it out here: https://www.bissell.com/hard-floor-tool-kit-for-essential-cleaners-1602823?cid=ccsocial2107
Question:	What is the difference between this one and the Bissell Proheat Pet
Answer:	The pet is suppose to be an upgraded unit over this essential unit and it has 2 separate containers for the clean and dirty water. But for $130 bucks more, this essential unit has been great. Easy to use and clean, has a real powerful motor I believe is 6 amps. Have used it on a regular basis and it does a really nice job! Beats the old hoover unit we used to have, does a nice deep clean which we never got from the hoover unit,,, but you should watch the videos they have on each unit
Question:	Does this Bissell machine have a separate compartment for the cleaning solution from the clean water or is it mixed together in one container
Answer:	There is a soft-sided bag type of container inside the rigid container. You put the cleaning fluid and water inside that soft-sided bag and start cleaning. When you suck up the dirty water, it goes into the rigid container outside the bag.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you clean an entire (small) room with this (appx 10'x
Answer:	You could, but it would be quite a chore. This is a spot cleaner not intended for cleaning the carpet in an entire room. For that large of an area you would want an upright rug cleaner. Even a light duty upright would be better for such an area than this Hoover Spotless.
Question:	How does this compare to the spot bot
Answer:	Overall like the spot bot better, have both, use bot more often, just easier.
Question:	How does this do on pet stains
Answer:	It works great. I fill a sprayer with boiling hot water, use a carpet detergent to loosen the stain, and the spot scrubber to lift it from the item so stained. The sprayer is used just ahead of the spot scrubber vacuum tool and all of the gunk goes into the easily dumpable tank. I put distilled water in the wash tank and finish with that so no dissolved mineral residue remains (which sometimes makes a ring when the cleaned item drys). Works great and easy to clean (use a little of the boiling water followed with a distilled water flush).
Question:	Can this be used for car apholstery
Answer:	Does anyone know what voltage it is? I need to get a portable battery to plug this in so I can clean my car

Product description

How are the BISSELL Pet formulas different than other BISSELL cleaning formulas? The BISSELL Pet Formulas have an added ingredient; enzyme producing bacteria. Enzyme producing bacteria remove urine, feces, and vomit from the cleaning surface completely and permanently by consuming the food source. By removing the urine, feces, and vomit, bacteria have nothing left to feed on. Bacteria simply die off. If you didn't remove the urine, feces, or vomit, new bacteria will eventually start feeding again with the addition of moisture.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this product help eliminate pet urine odor
Answer:	Yes, if you catch it right away and be sure the product reaches all the way through the carpet, not just the surface. For pet stains that I didn't catch right away, I found repeat applications were necessary.
Question:	Has anyone had the problem that your dog does not like the smell
Answer:	I have not. Yet the reason I bought it was because he's a sloppy eater and had gotten liquid on the carpet that I didn't notice. When he began pushing his food bowl around I realized there was dried liquid under the carpet from who knows how long. And so I used this to clean the area. He seemed unphased by it's smell. I hope this helps.
Question:	I have a red microfiber couch marked clean with ( W) alot of carpet reviews- will this help on couches? my h dogs have stained with licking marks
Answer:	I honestly don't know about the microfiber. I have a red couch, too, but it's corduroy. The cleaner works well when I let the foam sit for a minute before brushing. I hope this helps.
Question:	Is this product tested on animals
Answer:	Why would it be? It is not a "pet cleaning" product. It is a "pet stain cleaning" product. The word "stain" makes all the difference here.
Question:	What are the ingredients? Does this have any bleach in it
Answer:	Don't think so, I used it on my soft brown leather sofa.
Question:	Can you return this
Answer:	if its sold by Amazon its always returnable as long as the listing didn't say NO RETURNS, just look at original listing.
Question:	Can you use this on mattresses
Answer:	Yes, let it dry, rub it off, and vacuum it off. should do the trick.
Question:	Is this cleaner water based? My couch fabric has S code - needs solvent based cleaner
Answer:	Water Based Not for X or S codes
Question:	can ether of the attachments be used to clean sliding door tracks
Answer:	I did not use them on the sliding door tracks but I do use it in the groove of windows. works great. Keep the vac held straight up and down or the blower portion will spread the dirt around.
Question:	Should the vacuum stay on charge when not in use or is that bad for the battery
Answer:	This is our 2nd one....we always leave the charger ON....especially if going away for an extended period. Like a car battery, a "trickle charge" keeps the battery fully charged.....problems occur when the battery charge is low or non-existant.
Question:	I just received this and i let it charge for approx 6 hours before using. After about 1 minute of using it it begins to make a weird noise an dies
Answer:	Please contact BLACK+DECKER at 1-800-544-6986 for warranty information and assistance.
Question:	Could this be used to vacuum up stink bugs from my tomatoes in the garden
Answer:	It probably could but there would keep being more on you tomatoes. There are probably better ways unless you like to stay in your garden all day and night.

User questions & answers

Question:	i dont have a pet, can i still use this machine
Answer:	Of course you can use it. I don't have any pets either but kitty sit once in a while so thought it would be the best purchase and it was.
Question:	What payment options are offered

Question:	What is cleanup like after i finish shampooing the carpet? how is the smartwash emptied
Answer:	Cleanup is really easy! The nozzle pops right out and you can remove the brushrolls to rinse. Also, the whole lid comes off of the dirty water tank so that it is easy to empty and rinse.
Question:	How easy is the brush assembly to take apart to clean? Do I have to remove screws or does it just snap together
Answer:	Thank you for your question. The brushroll is very easy to remove because SmartWash has a one-step removable nozzle. No screws at all!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will be using for pet accidents, does it have strong suction
Answer:	This machine is strong for its size. A convenient and compact design with plenty of suction for most spot cleaning needs including pets.
Question:	Is there an option to have the rotary scrubber off when cleaning a spot
Answer:	It is not a rotary scrubber, rather a back and forth motion and you can turn it off
Question:	What is the difference between the rug doctor portable and the bissell spotclean portable
Answer:	I'd like to parrot what Jennifer said. I have had two Bissell spot cleaners (Little Green Heat and SpotClean Pro). The brush attachment broke on one, and the hose split on the other in the first 14 months of ownership. Bissell has a 1-year warranty. I called them to see if they could make an exception for me, considering I was only 2 months past the 1-year. They said "nope" (the cost for replacing the entire hose mechanism is nearly as much as buying a whole new machine ... and you can't replace it yourself. Bissell says you have to go to one of their authorized repair centers). I'm very dissatisfied with Bissell's build quality. I'm frankly tired of buying machines that fail so soon. They are not meant to last. That being said, the suction on the Bissell SpotClean Pro is good. But the Rug Doctor is better. I vote for Rug Doctor.
Question:	I am undecided as to which machine would be best....Rug Doctor Portable spot cleaner or Bissel Spot cleaner professional portable Model
Answer:	We absolutely love the rug doctor portable! It is lightweight,easy to store anddoes a wonderful job of cleaning the carpet.You would not be disappointedin this spot cleaner, Good luck, Carol We have dogs who with regularitypee on the carpet,throw up etc.No problem with the rug doctor!
