Check out my latest Bissell Crosswave video th-cam.com/video/PPgCmMCICHY/w-d-xo.html I performed a test and review of the Bissell area rug brush roll attachment.
You can certainly do everything suggested in this video, but honestly I just throw my rollers into the washing machine when I'm washing my cleaning rags and then air dry them. It cleans them up enough to continue using them for double the life expectancy.
What I do is I wash it in the sink afterwards like you do and then I put Dawn dish soap on it and I scrub it and I just wash it under the sink and then I leave a lot of water in it and then I put it back in the machine and I do auto cleanand everything that I missed the auto clean gets and it doesn’t pretty good job job
What a great video! I just got my Crosswave yesterday and the information you gave is invaluable. I will definitely be putting it to use! Thank you so much for posting!
No matter how hard I try it's impossible to get the brush off even after watching video !! NOT HAPPY WITH THIS BISSELL MESS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy November 1st! It might be past Halloween but these brush rolls are looking pretty scary. Let me know in the comments how you clean your Crosswave brush roll.
I actually haven’t tried or even thought to use dishwasher detergent. It will be interesting to see the results and how well it works to clean the rollers. I’ll have to give it a try. I’m always looking for new ways to deep clean the rollers. Thank you for the great suggestion.
Greetings for Canada! I really enjoy using the multi-surface as well. The added microfibre really helps to lock and trap finer debris especially when cleaning hard floors such as tile or hardwood floor.
Have you tried spray n wash, shout, or spray 9.??? I'll try it on mine cuz I KNOW they're gonna be dirty.!!! I; however, don't make videos though. Thank you so much for your videos.
I have only used the three cleaning methods so far. I recently cleaned my rollers again with the carpet cleaner...they were so dirty. A few people have suggested Oxiclean. I'm going to try it to see if it gives better results.
You want the best way to clean these rollers use Dawn dish detergent soap them up real well rinse off with hot water! You won't find a better way to clean them guaranteed!!!!
Do you think I could put the rollers in the dishwasher? Top rack low heat? I'm half tempted to try it, I am not a fan of hand washing these rollers lol...
Hi Valerie, I would suggest not washing the rollers in the dishwasher. The rollers have microfibre which can be ruined with hi-temp heat. Bissell only suggests to hand wash when deep cleaning. Try running the rollers through the Crosswave self cleaning cycle a few additional times to help give the rollers an extra clean after use. Another option is using gloves to avoid touching the dirty roller while cleaning. I hope this helps.
HELP PLEASE: My crosswave dirty water bin doesn't fill beyond 1" then spits out any new dirty liquid onto the floor. It's totally clean, not only your method of running it but I take it all apart, wash out the hose and bucket....seems the suction that takes the dirty water into the container isn't pulling well at all. This is so important since I have a short term rental unit where I have to get in and out quickly. thanks for answering. My unit is registered and I bought it online at Bissell.
I have had an issue with dirty water spilling out and had to replace the filter. There are two gold sensors on the dirty water tank and machine. You can try wiping the sensors. If the sensors are dirty it could be sending a false message the bin is full. If you have tried all those options and still having problems definitely contact Bissell.
The self cleaning button is located under the main digital screen (The button has a picture of a swirl). The button will flash when the Crosswave is placed on the docking station. After placing the Crosswave on the docking station press the self cleaning button once and the 40 second cleaning cycle will begin.
Just put them all in a bucket of bleach water then rinse them off , go outside, and splat out the water with the force of your arm and then put them on the vacuum base to dry. If the rollers have some debris in them, get your other vacuum and suck it up with the hose. Personally, I do not find the clean up to be convenient enough. I won’t use the sinks to clean the dirty parts therefore , I dump the dirty water outside and I hose it down but it’s a pain in the ass to clean all the parts.
@@MesseswithMichelle doesn’t have to be bleach, but I use it because it’s a disinfectant and it doesn’t get sudsy. Lately I’ve been trying out Amazon’s enzyme cleaner.
I didn't know the one with orange and green was a carpet one. I thought it was a pet one and couldn't really figure out a difference between them all. Lol
The orange and green roller is specified for pets and can be used on hard floors and carpet. I have always used it on my area rugs. When I first got my Crosswave I had to check which roller was for what purpose they look so similar.
I was so disappointed with this Bissell Crosswave. Ordered the Cordless Max and didn't get all the accessories with it. Only reason I ordered it on line was because it showed the extra rollers etc.
That is very disappointing. When I ordered my Crosswave, I had to order the bonus package to receive the additional rollers and formulas. Try contacting Bissell maybe you can exchange it. I believe there is a 30 day trial but I'n not sure if that has changed.
@@MesseswithMichelle Thank you. I contacted them and they agreed to send the additional rollers and formulas to me. I really like the crosswave. Stay safe !
I noticed a bit of foam/bubbles when I prime the machine to get the formula through the system when I first start it up. Are you using the Bissell Crosswave formula?
@@CrazyBeautifulCurves here is the model # 2554D. I originally had the blue one but when I replaced my original machine Bissell sent the purple Crosswave. When I checked their website they only show the blue model.
I got with the cord one in 2019, gave it to my granddaughter and few days ago I got the cordless one from TSC. Didn't get any extra brushes only 2little bottles formula. I just love the machine without the cord.
It is really nice not having to worry about a cord. This is the first time owning a cordless vacuum and I love it as well. It is so much more convenient to grab it and go.
This is my first cordless vac and enjoy using it without having a cord in my way as I’m cleaning. I was worried the battery would die mid way through cleaning but it hasn’t been an issue. The run time is about 30 minutes. I can clean the main level of my house using 1-2 bars of battery, I’m cleaning mostly hard floors so the run time will vary depending how large of an area you are cleaning. I think my area is around 350 sq.ft. If I had to guess. I had to replace my first Crosswave due to the battery over charging on the docking station but Bissell sent a replacement and I haven’t had any issues since but I make sure to unplug the docking station after the Crosswave is fully charged to avoid any previous over charging issues.

Oxi clean works great to clean and soak these👍
Thank you for another quality review. Have you tried dishwasher detergent to clean the brushes? Low foaming and made for food type messes.

I use a normal detergent
twice and its clean as new
Greeting from Germany, in my opinion the Carpet Brush is one of the best Brushes to clean Carpets and normal hard Stains.

Love this! Thank you
Great video as always 👍 👌 👏
Thank you !
I live for your videos 😃😃
Thank you Grace! That is so sweet. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos.
I regret buying it , ugh such a hustle to clean it after each use 🤦🏻♀️ I’m going back to the swiffer wet jet
is the clean water tank supposed to leak water if you turn it upside down?
Oxiclean works well too
Thank you! I'm definitely going to try it.
I use a kitchen servis steam cleaner as dish wash liquid
What do you click to do the self clean???? That’s what I was here for
The self cleaning button is located under the main digital screen (The button has a picture of a swirl). The button will flash when the Crosswave is placed on the docking station. After placing the Crosswave on the docking station press the self cleaning button once and the 40 second cleaning cycle will begin.
Ok I'm going to ask a stupid question. Can you put the rollers into the washing machine???
The rollers are not machine safe. It would be a cool option for Bissell to create a washer safe brush for an even deeper clean.
Just put them all in a bucket of bleach water then rinse them off , go outside, and splat out the water with the force of your arm and then put them on the vacuum base to dry. If the rollers have some debris in them, get your other vacuum and suck it up with the hose. Personally, I do not find the clean up to be convenient enough. I won’t use the sinks to clean the dirty parts therefore , I dump the dirty water outside and I hose it down but it’s a pain in the ass to clean all the parts.
I haven't considered bleach to wash the brush rollers due to the microfiber around the roller. Does bleach damage the rollers?
@@MesseswithMichelle doesn’t have to be bleach, but I use it because it’s a disinfectant and it doesn’t get sudsy. Lately I’ve been trying out Amazon’s enzyme cleaner.
I need the white roller you have for my wood floors where can you find it?
The hard floor brush can be found on Bissell’s website.
I didn't know the one with orange and green was a carpet one. I thought it was a pet one and couldn't really figure out a difference between them all. Lol
The orange and green roller is specified for pets and can be used on hard floors and carpet. I have always used it on my area rugs. When I first got my Crosswave I had to check which roller was for what purpose they look so similar.
@@MesseswithMichelle they do!! I can't really see a difference with the orange and green one even lol

@@glorialangille That is great! I'm so glad they agreed to send the extra brushes and formula. It is always great to have extra brushes on hand.
Nice video good job 😊
I’m glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching!
My Bissell always dispenses foam. I tried using less solution and a clean brush but no difference.
I noticed a bit of foam/bubbles when I prime the machine to get the formula through the system when I first start it up. Are you using the Bissell Crosswave formula?
There must be old build up of cleaning solutions on the floor that is reactivated when you mop
Where did you buy this?
I bought it through Bissell's website.
@@MesseswithMichelle I guess they don’t carry the purple one anymore 😔
@@CrazyBeautifulCurves here is the model # 2554D. I originally had the blue one but when I replaced my original machine Bissell sent the purple Crosswave. When I checked their website they only show the blue model.
