This was so much more helpful than the video Bissell has! I needed something more in-depth, and this was perfect. Thank you! Also, Molly was such a big help - she did great 😂
This was so helpful. I really appreciate how much detail you gave. I rented my machine and there was a “how to use video” but it was so basic and I was scared I would break the machine. That being said, I really appreciate how informative you were! Thank you so much, also love your puppy!
Just bought a Bissel Big Green machine and came to your video to learn how to use it properly. So helpful! Having toys and a big dog in the background lets your audience know it works on all the messes children and pets can make. Inspires confidence in the machine.
I love this machine and use it at least 4 times a year to do a full clean of the downstairs. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
Thank you a bunch for this video. Dispite my disagreement, I went ahead with two rounds of rinse water, like two full tanks, after I cleaned our bedroom and bathroom carpets with two sorts of cleaner. It was because you said that would remove the sticky cleansing solution, which it did do. More than that though, the water from both tanks was black with a bunch of dirt clumps in there; both tanks! I wouldn't have believed there was that much dirt in our carpet. So sincerely thank you for this video, and for emphasizing that we really should go two more rounds with just water to finish the cleansing process. It took a lot of time, but boy was it worth while. And that should also keep dirt from sticking to the left over sticky cleaning solution. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
After owning one of these for a couple years, I've learned a few things! The most important being to get one of those insecticide sprayers and pre-treat your entire carpet with whatever solution you're using, and let it sit a bit before using just hot water in the machine. I realized I could never get all the soap out when I put solution in the machine itself, and my carpet would be dirty again in no time! Thanks for the hose attachment information! I bought my machine on Prime Day also but I don't think the attachment came with it and I was curious what the holes were for!
Don’t forget after u pre spray to use agitation before using the extractor u can get a cheap crb or a raking tool or floor brush trust me it lifts all the dirt to the surface

Jim, at least 90% of people don't know about the rinse. But it will make such a difference on how clean your carpet is, and stays. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for explaining what that red float thing is. Mine fell off and I wanted to reattach it but there is nothing about it anywhere and most video feel its too insignificant to mention. So thanks!
THANK YOU for the excellent tutorial. I own one of these and believe you covered it perfectly. I appreciate a thorough help video. One thing I didn't know, is to rinse your carpet. My god, I just have a mound of soap, with cat puke on top. Lol at least its pre treated. I'll start rising 🤣 Thank you for the info, my wife and I never knew. The 3 things I find annoying with this unit, is the waste tank is awkward and the seal I can see getting bent up. The hand tool is super awkward with the hard hose, the sprayer could use a better brush system. You cant get less than 2 inches from the wall. The wash tank is too opaque to see the waterline. Even with a flashlight it's close to impossible.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to explain everything about this Bissell Green Machine. First time using one tonight !! This video helped me understand this machine very well. Happy New Year to you and your family. 😊😊😊
The Bissell absolutely beats the Rug Doctor. Used it several times now, and would suggest a couple things. If doing a bigger area, roll a rag between the brush and its housing each time you change water. Really cuts down on the hairballs you mentioned. Also, I started making a last no spray pass to pull out more water, really drys faster. I think the Bissell branded cleaners work better. I used up some leftover rug doctor solution, just didn't seem as good in this machine as later times using the Bissell brand. My local Ace switched to Bissell and I was little hesitant to try it, but glad I did. Have a couple rental properties to clean so may buy one soon
Actually I don’t waste any money on the cleaning products I just mix a scoop of washing powder or laundry liquid in the water And it cleans perfectly carpets are made out of the same stuff your clothes are made out of so don’t let anyone try and tell you you need to spend a fortune on their products
Great video from an actual user who knows what they are talking about. My only uncertainty is when making your 3 passes, is that what you consider both the cleaning and rinsing? I'm assuming the initial pass is getting most of the dirt, and each successive pass is extracting more water that is not so dirty? Thank you
First of all, thanks for watching. When I say three passes, that is three with the soap then three with clean water rinse. If you have a pretty dirty carpet, like most of us then the first pass is getting it wet and starting to pull the dirt. The next two passes really pull it out. Then you need to rinse and rinse some more to get out all the soap. Depending on how dirty your rug is, you might not see the dirt let up until the second rinse.
@@AroundTheHome1 so its actually cleaning the entire carpet with soap - 3 passes, and when that's finished, 3 more passes on the entire carpet with just hot water. 👍
Awesome video! Very easy to understand and, honestly, much better than their corporate video. Thanks for making these for the everyday homeowner. Subscribed!
I took your recommendation to heart and did 3 passes (back and forth) w/ trigger, 2 passes w/o trigger and it did an amazing job. You know what....I said "horseshit" at first about doing the extra "rinse" job with plain water but I'll be damned if it didn't make it even cleaner! Thanks man.
I have to ditto what Chris Hutchins wrote. I thought the same thing about the extra rinse and arrived at the same results. My carpets look great. Thanks Around the Home.
Thanks for the video. My wife had bought one of these a year ago and I hadn’t got a chance to use it. No idea where the manual is. One of our dogs are sick today so it’s time to clean up. 🤢
Do not use as hot water as you can get it! It is know to break the that bubble flow guage on top that shows the water going through in use! I had to take my machine apart and replace it about 8 months ago! My machine is about 5 years old and has worked perfectly except for that! It's a cheap fix and there are videos on TH-cam non how to fix it! It's possible that Bissell has replaced that low quality part by now! But I always use only slightly hot water now and it works just the same! Thank you for the video! I just forget sometimes how to use it even though it is so simple! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the heads up. I haven't had any problems yet, but that doesn't mean that there aren't problems out there. And I keep my water heater on medium, I know some people have it cranked. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I just got one of these. The instructions are labeled on the front and sides of the unit. However, I was wondering if I should do a rinse because there's nothing that says to do this. I found your video and it has been VERY helpful. Thanks!
Great video. There is about 6” of clear hose and a piece of plastic (with a rubber insert on it) connected to the clean tank cap. When i first saw it it looked like it had some type of functionality, but after reading the manual (with no mention of it), i assume its purpose is to simply keep the cap close to the tank so that it doesnt get lost? Similar to a lawn mower gas cap. It just seems to be over engineered for it purpose compared to other equipment ive used. Do you know what i mean and is that correct? Thanks
Excellent demo video!!! Sure wish I had rented that one or at least bought it for myself. We have thick carpet and we bought the pro heat 2X revolutionary pet Pro plus. It works fine it’s just we have thick carpet and if I make one forward pass and one back using the sprayer then I’ve gotta make 20 forward and backward passes before the carpets dry. It takes forever to do our carpet. It looks like this one that you have does a much faster job and for me that’s worth the extra money. Ours works fine but the model you have is the one we should have bought. I don’t mind paying the extra money if I can get the job done quicker. Thanks again for the video.
It really does make a difference over the standard retail models. Having kids, three dogs, and a cat I definitely have to clean the carpet. I do a heavy clean twice a year and also break it out after accidents happen. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I’d like to ask you a question. As I mentioned I have to make about 20 passes before our carpet is dry. Do you think this model would suck up water faster than the model we bought?
@Stw sorry I didn't get a notification for your response. Yes, yes I do think it would do a much better job then your retail model. I have used standard retail models and this one far outperforms them.
I laugh every time I clean my carpet now since my husband rented one of these and the instructions said pour two capfuls of formula into the tank. He did it but the cleaning wasn’t doing real well. I watched him the next tankful and found out why. He poured two capfulls from the formula bottle NOT the tank. I still love him though. Not a lot of husbands who work fulltime would clean carpets for a wife who doesn’t work anymore. I can honestly say I was lucky when I said yes to marrying him, though he claims HE is the lucky one. 40 years the end of February and still in love.
@@AroundTheHome1 I rented the machine from Lowes today and it's brilliant. Simple to use and effective. Got about 1200 square feet of carpet done in a few hours with a few passes on the heavier traffic areas.
Thank you so much for the video! I just bought mine but was perplex a bit at the spray function because all of my other carpet cleaners had the soap or rinse option on it, but this machine does not. I’m glad you covered the need to wash and rinse separately. Also, is your adorable Molly a mix between a boxer and a ridgeback? I could have sworn I saw a ridge on her. She was an adorable addition to the video 💕 Thanks again!
Actually Molly is pure boxer and makes an appearance in about 1/4 of my videos. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
Yep, rinse super important. Like washing your hair, but not rinsing it out before you get out of the shower. So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
How do you rinse, please? Is it just passing forward and backward without pressing the trigger? Or rinsing means putting fresh water without solution in the tank? Please let me know.
I have a question! If you no longer want to spray the cleaning solution and you’ve used it all up, can you just use it as a drier? Hope that makes sense 😅
It does make sense. Yes, you can run it without spraying anything to help suck up any moisture. And it doesn't hurt to try and get it as dry as possible. You can also use it to suck up a spill. And yes again, when I say rinse I mean just plain hot water. That is as important as the washing because if you don't get all the soap up then it will get dirtier faster.
When washing the carpet and the red trigger is release does that suck the water out? I am trying to figure out how the water sprayed into the carpet is dried out?
Thank you. Liked and subscribed. I’d recommend using half of the suggested amount of Bissel shampoo. It’ll still get your carpets well-cleaned and definitely allows for easier rinsing afterwards.
I rented one of these a couple of years ago from Meijer. Did a wonderful job on the carpet. The upholstery attachment was another mastter. It would The water and soap came out but there was no suction, no way to dry. Maybe that one was defective or I did something wrong, I don't know. Thinking of doing it again this year and I'll try it again, but I'll try a small hidden area first.
That red piece in the top container fell out and yours is the only video I found which showed where it's supposed to go (at 2.30). Clear and good instructions.
Can you use it with a reduced amount or no cleaning solution, just water? We are cleaning carpet next to a curling ice rink and don’t want to track any cleaner residue onto the ice.
Yes, yes you can. www.amazon.com/Bissell-Professional-Cleaner-Machine-86T3/dp/B00450U6CS?dchild=1&keywords=bissell+big+green&qid=1627481267&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyWTlCTUJaODRXUDUmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2MDQ0NDVBT1hVMFY4TjdaRkomZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDc0ODU3MjE3N0VFMEc1RDFIR1Umd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=581949bb0247c93eeb034f368416ff79&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl So glad to help!

When cleaning, I do 2 - 3 passes. I am holding down the sprayer the whole time. It dries just fine. Have a fan going in the room and should be dry the next day.
It dries with it's suction. Which it's suction it better then standard retail store models. So carpet and upholstery is drier when done. You will want to put a fan in the room and let it dry overnight. This machine does every part better then standard store models, I know from experience. It washes, dries, and handles pet hair better. I hope that helps answer your questions.

Well, I tried a lot of different things on that as well. We have a little dog that went through a long faze of making accidents. I tried regular soaps, pet soaps, soaps specifically for urine that had a enzyme formula, and nothing worked. Don't use vinegar. For the love of God, please don't use that. I broke down finally because my mother in law uses it for everything and since no other soap was working I tried. If you Google it, Google says that vinegar does not harm carpet. That is soooooo wrong. The acids in vinegar will cause the glue to break loose and cause the carpet upper to separate from the backing. I even tried dumping a lot of baking soda in the carpet, vacuuming up most, then shampooing. Finally after this diarrhea I found that the bleach killed the urine smell as well. So, unfortunately bleach is the only thing that I have found that kills the urine all the way. Hope that helps.
What kind of soap should I use? I only have a living room rug that's isn't that dirty but I've had it for years and know it needs a good clean. Is there something I can use around the house or I need need buy special shampoo/cleaner? Thank you
Ok, so officially I am telling you to use the Bissell carpet shampoo. Unofficially, I could suggest that hypothetically I might or might not allegedly use Mr. Clean multipurpose cleaner. And if I did use it, not saying that I do, I would use the same amount of soap as suggested by Bissel - using the line in the fill cup. I would also suggest that no matter what you use in the carpet cleaner to do a test spot first.
It is good to do a good vacuum, but even after I do I get sooo much dog hair up anyways. I do recommend a good vacuum first, but this beast will take just about anything you can throw at it. So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
Sounds like it does have a problem. If you fill the clean water tank full, then the dirty water tank should be full, or almost full, when you run out of clean water.
@@AroundTheHome1 I just finished doing our stairway, and I did it exactly like you showed and omg. My wife was so proud 🥲 it looks brand new!! Thank you once again!!
You know, I never thought about cleaning a mattress. But I certainly don't see why not. So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
does this machine work on any residential carpet? whats the best solution for just shampooing no spots? do i have to worry about pressure?of course i dont want to damage the carpet?
Yes, it's designed for it. I have used it in my own home, which is where I am in the video, dozens of times. I haven't had any reason to feel that it would damage carpet. If you have a looped carpet like a berber, then make sure no loops are pulled. If so, cut them off so they don't snag. And I would just grab a bottle of regular carpet shampoo. Here is that Amazon link for the shampooer and it comes with 3 small bottles of soap. www.amazon.com/Bissell-Professional-Cleaner-Machine-86T3/dp/B00450U6CS?crid=1FH23NONOLG3Y&dchild=1&keywords=bissell+big+green+professional+carpet+cleaner&qid=1623419582&sprefix=bissell+big+green%2Caps%2C210&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQU0xSzhYRzJXVEtDJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDA4OTQ2MlQyQVRYSU5DV0VNJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwODE4NjZQNEpETzhFU1ZFSEYmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=b291e3679fd2ba16c1fe901f722d6706&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
Omg My machine is spraying water in a line and are leaving lines, how do I fix that, was working nice but few weeks start to spray water just straight, help please 😅😅😅
I would like to help, but I need a lot more info. Like how old is the machine / how many times have you used it? Do you have pets, and what kind? Have you used it to clean up anything other then normal dirt and if so what?
I have not tried to go across wood floors. But there is a tile area in my downstairs and it leaves a little bit of water. I would say maybe ok on tile floors, not wood.

Thanks for the best video on this vacuum. For the rinse is it better hot or cold water ?
I like hot water for both wash and rinse.
Thanks ! I have not used Bissell before so this was very helpful Thanks to your complete directions.

Great video. There is about 6” of clear hose and a piece of plastic (with a rubber insert on it) connected to the clean tank cap. When i first saw it it looked like it had some type of functionality, but after reading the manual (with no mention of it), i assume its purpose is to simply keep the cap close to the tank so that it doesnt get lost? Similar to a lawn mower gas cap. It just seems to be over engineered for it purpose compared to other equipment ive used. Do you know what i mean and is that correct? Thanks
Excellent demo video!!!
Sure wish I had rented that one or at least bought it for myself. We have thick carpet and we bought the pro heat 2X revolutionary pet Pro plus. It works fine it’s just we have thick carpet and if I make one forward pass and one back using the sprayer then I’ve gotta make 20 forward and backward passes before the carpets dry. It takes forever to do our carpet. It looks like this one that you have does a much faster job and for me that’s worth the extra money. Ours works fine but the model you have is the one we should have bought. I don’t mind paying the extra money if I can get the job done quicker. Thanks again for the video.
It really does make a difference over the standard retail models. Having kids, three dogs, and a cat I definitely have to clean the carpet. I do a heavy clean twice a year and also break it out after accidents happen. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
I’d like to ask you a question.
As I mentioned I have to make about 20 passes before our carpet is dry. Do you think this model would suck up water faster than the model we bought?
@Stw sorry I didn't get a notification for your response. Yes, yes I do think it would do a much better job then your retail model. I have used standard retail models and this one far outperforms them.
I laugh every time I clean my carpet now since my husband rented one of these and the instructions said pour two capfuls of formula into the tank. He did it but the cleaning wasn’t doing real well. I watched him the next tankful and found out why. He poured two capfulls from the formula bottle NOT the tank. I still love him though. Not a lot of husbands who work fulltime would clean carpets for a wife who doesn’t work anymore. I can honestly say I was lucky when I said yes to marrying him, though he claims HE is the lucky one. 40 years the end of February and still in love.
PS I no longer rent this machine. I PURCHASED one too.

Excelent video sir , first time using this machine as well
Great 👍
I had to rewatch the video. The cute doggo had my attention.

@@AroundTheHome1 I rented the machine from Lowes today and it's brilliant. Simple to use and effective. Got about 1200 square feet of carpet done in a few hours with a few passes on the heavier traffic areas.
Just rented one of these & this was super helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for the video! I just bought mine but was perplex a bit at the spray function because all of my other carpet cleaners had the soap or rinse option on it, but this machine does not. I’m glad you covered the need to wash and rinse separately. Also, is your adorable Molly a mix between a boxer and a ridgeback? I could have sworn I saw a ridge on her. She was an adorable addition to the video 💕 Thanks again!

Glad to help, and Molly is doing great! 🐕
How do you rinse, please? Is it just passing forward and backward without pressing the trigger? Or rinsing means putting fresh water without solution in the tank? Please let me know.
Rinsing is using fresh water, and it is a very important step that many skip.
Thanks for explaining so well !
Glad it was helpful!

I have a question! If you no longer want to spray the cleaning solution and you’ve used it all up, can you just use it as a drier?
Hope that makes sense 😅
What do you mean by rinse? Are you just using regular hot water without any cleaning solution?
It does make sense. Yes, you can run it without spraying anything to help suck up any moisture. And it doesn't hurt to try and get it as dry as possible. You can also use it to suck up a spill. And yes again, when I say rinse I mean just plain hot water. That is as important as the washing because if you don't get all the soap up then it will get dirtier faster.
When washing the carpet and the red trigger is release does that suck the water out? I am trying to figure out how the water sprayed into the carpet is dried out?
It is sucking the whole time
Thank you. Liked and subscribed. I’d recommend using half of the suggested amount of Bissel shampoo. It’ll still get your carpets well-cleaned and definitely allows for easier rinsing afterwards.

I rented one of these a couple of years ago from Meijer. Did a wonderful job on the carpet. The upholstery attachment was another mastter. It would The water and soap came out but there was no suction, no way to dry. Maybe that one was defective or I did something wrong, I don't know. Thinking of doing it again this year and I'll try it again, but I'll try a small hidden area first.
Something must have been wrong because there is definitely suction there.
Good video double thumbs up all the way.

Can you use it with a reduced amount or no cleaning solution, just water? We are cleaning carpet next to a curling ice rink and don’t want to track any cleaner residue onto the ice.
Yes, yes you can. www.amazon.com/Bissell-Professional-Cleaner-Machine-86T3/dp/B00450U6CS?dchild=1&keywords=bissell+big+green&qid=1627481267&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyWTlCTUJaODRXUDUmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2MDQ0NDVBT1hVMFY4TjdaRkomZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDc0ODU3MjE3N0VFMEc1RDFIR1Umd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=581949bb0247c93eeb034f368416ff79&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl So glad to help!

When cleaning, you do 3 passes pressing down on the sprayer, and 2 passes not pressing down on the sprayer? How does it dry? Thank you
When cleaning, I do 2 - 3 passes. I am holding down the sprayer the whole time. It dries just fine. Have a fan going in the room and should be dry the next day.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Remember to do the rinse passes as well. Very important.
So 3 cleaning passes, and 3 rinse passes?

Does the machine have a feature that dries the carpet afterwards. And does it have a feature that dries the upholstery.
It dries with it's suction. Which it's suction it better then standard retail store models. So carpet and upholstery is drier when done. You will want to put a fan in the room and let it dry overnight. This machine does every part better then standard store models, I know from experience. It washes, dries, and handles pet hair better. I hope that helps answer your questions. Here is our Amazon link if you are thinking about getting one. www.amazon.com/Bissell-Professional-Cleaner-Machine-86T3/dp/B00450U6CS?crid=1DV3KQHFJ0TJ4&keywords=bissell%2Bbig%2Bgreen%2Bprofessional%2Bcarpet%2Bcleaner&qid=1661690860&sprefix=bissell%2Bbig%2Caps%2C119&sr=8-3&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=bca847f6ccd48f00413ac9c35dbcd576&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
@@AroundTheHome1 Thank you.
You are welcome.
So helpful. Thank you!!!
You are very welcome.
What do you recommend if you’re cleaning carpet that your pet has had an “accident” on? Just the regular solution or add something else? Thanks 😊
Well, I tried a lot of different things on that as well. We have a little dog that went through a long faze of making accidents. I tried regular soaps, pet soaps, soaps specifically for urine that had a enzyme formula, and nothing worked. Don't use vinegar. For the love of God, please don't use that. I broke down finally because my mother in law uses it for everything and since no other soap was working I tried. If you Google it, Google says that vinegar does not harm carpet. That is soooooo wrong. The acids in vinegar will cause the glue to break loose and cause the carpet upper to separate from the backing. I even tried dumping a lot of baking soda in the carpet, vacuuming up most, then shampooing. Finally after this diarrhea I found that the bleach killed the urine smell as well. So, unfortunately bleach is the only thing that I have found that kills the urine all the way. Hope that helps.
What soap do you recommend for the machine if you’re cleaning a carpet with cat pee ?
@Drayko Shells here is my video for things like that. I hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/xnfYTGfYnDM/w-d-xo.html
What kind of soap should I use? I only have a living room rug that's isn't that dirty but I've had it for years and know it needs a good clean. Is there something I can use around the house or I need need buy special shampoo/cleaner? Thank you
Ok, so officially I am telling you to use the Bissell carpet shampoo. Unofficially, I could suggest that hypothetically I might or might not allegedly use Mr. Clean multipurpose cleaner. And if I did use it, not saying that I do, I would use the same amount of soap as suggested by Bissel - using the line in the fill cup. I would also suggest that no matter what you use in the carpet cleaner to do a test spot first.
Do you have to put plain water inside machine after cleaning with solution for rinse cycle??. Thanks
Yes, just clean warm water. It is a very important step that gets skipped a lot.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful. Is it important to do a good vacuum before using it? Will it clog up the machine if not?
Thanks again!
It is good to do a good vacuum, but even after I do I get sooo much dog hair up anyways. I do recommend a good vacuum first, but this beast will take just about anything you can throw at it. So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

Sounds like it does have a problem. If you fill the clean water tank full, then the dirty water tank should be full, or almost full, when you run out of clean water.

I have always found that the hot water is more then enough to get a good clean. I don't understand your second question.

does this machine work on any residential carpet? whats the best solution for just shampooing no spots? do i have to worry about pressure?of course i dont want to damage the carpet?
Yes, it's designed for it. I have used it in my own home, which is where I am in the video, dozens of times. I haven't had any reason to feel that it would damage carpet. If you have a looped carpet like a berber, then make sure no loops are pulled. If so, cut them off so they don't snag. And I would just grab a bottle of regular carpet shampoo. Here is that Amazon link for the shampooer and it comes with 3 small bottles of soap. www.amazon.com/Bissell-Professional-Cleaner-Machine-86T3/dp/B00450U6CS?crid=1FH23NONOLG3Y&dchild=1&keywords=bissell+big+green+professional+carpet+cleaner&qid=1623419582&sprefix=bissell+big+green%2Caps%2C210&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyQU0xSzhYRzJXVEtDJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDA4OTQ2MlQyQVRYSU5DV0VNJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwODE4NjZQNEpETzhFU1ZFSEYmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=b291e3679fd2ba16c1fe901f722d6706&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
Omg My machine is spraying water in a line and are leaving lines, how do I fix that, was working nice but few weeks start to spray water just straight, help please 😅😅😅
I would like to help, but I need a lot more info. Like how old is the machine / how many times have you used it? Do you have pets, and what kind? Have you used it to clean up anything other then normal dirt and if so what?
Thanks for the help dog!
Thinking about getting some sort of shampooer. Seems like a good option as I just used as a rental
Any time!
I use this one all the time and it is a very good choice. Much better then the average retail choice.
Can you use this on hard floors?
I have not tried to go across wood floors. But there is a tile area in my downstairs and it leaves a little bit of water. I would say maybe ok on tile floors, not wood.
Do you have to use the bissell cleaner or can you use any other name brand and will it damage the machine?
You can use any brand carpet cleaner. 👍 So glad to help! Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org
