If you aren’t rinsing your carpets already I highly recommend it. For two reasons: 1. If you leave any type of soapy residue in the carpet any type of moisture reactivates the cleaning solution and makes your carpet act as a soapy cleaning cloth. The dirt from pet paws (or whatever else) wants to cling to the alkaline soap solution and your carpets get dirty quicker, plus it just makes it difficult to clean them over time. It’s a mistake I used to make and changing this has made a big difference for me. 2. The carpet can sometimes feel a little stiff due to the basic/alkaline pH of many cleaning chemicals, so to counteract this I rinse with plain water or water with a little vinegar. I hate the smell of vinegar but you don’t smell it when you use it as a rinse (I just fill to the water line and add vinegar to the formula line and it’s been effective enough). You can add a few drops of an essential oil if you’d like too. Vinegar also does a good job of neutralizing the pH of the carpet and odors in general. Another suggestion is to spray down the carpets with cleaner in a pump sprayer or with the machine (I usually just do a fast pass on it with the bissell and then spend more time letting the machine slowly scrub while rinsing- rather than on the soapy pass. ) Hopefully this helps someone.
@@lifeofleannarose6869 no problem! I really enjoyed your video. I know that this adds an extra pass but for me it really improved the feel of the carpet. It also seemed like I was able to get it clean faster the next time and that it didn’t get dirty as quickly. Awesome content! Keep it up!
@@rachelbernhardt4419 I did initially just use water alone in the carpet cleaner as a rinse and sometimes I still do. But if I cleaned the carpet with a lot of soap or a harsh soap then I try to rinse with vinegar water mixed. I also used this method for spot cleaning a stain- I would put soap on the stain and scrub it manually, then use the machine or I would use the machine to scrub with just water to rinse it. This is super useful when you don’t want to use a lot of water. I use it when cleaning my car seats. I spray them with a bottle i mixed of a little laundry detergent with water, then I scrub them with a soft brush (or a drill brush) and then I use the carpet cleaning attachment with just clean hot/warm water. I’ve been learning more about cleaning vs. disinfecting for a while. And the added benefit of using vinegar with the water is that it balances out the ph of the of the cleaners. I think a mistake a lot of people make is that they “over clean” and sometimes damage things that make it harder to clean in the future. A common example is that this happens in tubs. You can give your tub a light scrub to get off all the soap scum and completely disinfect it, but if you use extreme abrasives, chemicals with abrasives, and scrub like crazy you actually end up scratching the coating and finish on the tub and it stains easier and becomes very difficult to clean. The same thing happens with carpet. If you drench your carpets with every harsh cleaner and just leave it in there, it damages the carpet and makes things worse in the long run. Sorry for the long response, I know you asked a simple question but hopefully this just gives background to anyone reading. I highly recommend spot testing an hidden area though just to make sure there are no issues.
Have you ever tried going back over the carpet with plain water in the tank to create a rinse type function? It's amazing to see the dirt come up afterward with just plain water and I pulled a lot of the residual soap out of the carpet to boot.
you can also you a sprayer or spray bottle put the cleaning solution mix in there, spray the carpet to pretreat. let it sit for 30mins to break up dirt then all you have to do is run a warm water cycle with the carpet cleaner it pulls up dirt and shampoo
I noticed you failed to use the cord hook which is at the top of the machine handle. It helps to prevent rolling over your cord while you work. Great review.
Great video.....thank you. I did have one issue and was hoping you could assist. After using my Bissell (sat it upright either turned off or still running), it wouls significantly leak out water. IMy Bissell is pretty new as I have only used it twice and don't remember the water leaking out. Seems like it is from the bottom tank. Any suggestions??
Thank you for this very informative video! I appreciate how well everything was explained as well as getting to see the product in action. I can't wait to buy mine soon! 💚
Good job. I would only add that in my opinion, it would be better to use the hot water vs. warm water. I have never heard of OdoBan, but I will buy some and try it out.
OdoBan is awesome. There are three scents to my knowledge. The gallon is concentrated so I keep a diluted mix on hand for cleaning. I often use the diluted mix in my laundry as well.
9-3-2021 I just bought a Bissell ProHeat Revolution 2x Pet Pro. Some features have changed that make the machine not as nice as before. The Cleanshot spray feature is not included in the model I just bought. Also, there are no release buttons on the clear brush cover. The clear nozzle can be removed for cleaning, but since the clear brush cover cannot be detached or lifted in any way, it is impossible to clean the brushes very well. I'm very disappointed in this machine for those reasons.
I think you may have bought the Bissel ProHeat Revolution 2x Pet (not the Pro). The features you're missing are not included on the standard model, but only the Pro. The biggest difference I found the easier way to tell them apart is the color. The Pro is purple and green, while the non-pro is orange. Hope this helps!
@@caseyhoyt7353 Some non-Pros are blue - mine is. But "no cleanshot" pretty much screams not a Pro unit. (Bissell's naming is getting confusing, since the "Pro" models actually have "Pro" twice in their name. ProHeat != Pro...)
Do you know what setting I'm suppose to have the machine on when I'm using the hose? Last time I used the hose a bunch of water came from under the machine.
My clean water tank empties quick after two swipes my clean water is gone. I do use my own cleaner very similar to what you use..Question is would you have any idea why this is happening?
Great video; I watched others but wasn't sure about when/how long to hold the trigger to release the water/cleaning fluid. Mine was a hand-me-down & came without a manual. Could you advise what type of fabric/furniture it's appropriate to use? Thanks Again - you're a great "teacher."
Where is the best place to drain the dirty water? I know I can flush it through the sink and taps but it could cause them to get stuck but I have been throwing it outside in the grass.
I drain it in my bath tub. I make sure to vacuum my carpets really well before using the carpet cleaner so that there isn’t much hair going down the drains. The grass is a good idea if you don’t want to put it down the drain!
@@michaellewis6569 Yeah. Definitely don't do bathtub - it's easy to clog it. The trap in a toilet is much larger since it's kind of designed to have large chunks of semisolid matter going through it...

That is a great idea! Next time I clean the carpets I am going to try this. Thank you :)

when you rinse your carpet do you just add water without the cleaner to the vacuum and do it all the same way?
Thank you for this useful tip along with the reasoning behind it.

I have tried that and yes, it is crazy to see how much more comes up!
Thanks for the tip, I’m using mine now & will go over as you suggested

Can't hear
Thanks for the tip! Will be trying this!
Your video was the best I have found with details on how to actually use this! Thank you! Great video!
Thanks for the detailed info (nobody includes how to use the trigger to release/not release the water in their videos)
I noticed you failed to use the cord hook which is at the top of the machine handle. It helps to prevent rolling over your cord while you work. Great review.
Your video was amazing and really helped me get the most out of my Bissell.
Thank you for the content. Simple and informative.
I love you lol watch your bicep videos all the time so satisfying
I like your videos they are very helpful!
And you’re pretty.

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching 😊
You said Fabuloso! Hell yeah!
Great Video! I never even heard of Odo Ban. Gonna look it up to buy it and this carper shampooer as well. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this product
Awesome thanks! I just purchased one. Its still in the box. Lol.
I love your attention to detail because it reminds me of myself and my own ocd, thanks for your review.
Thanks for that nice video. You did a great job!
Thank you!
Good job. I would only add that in my opinion, it would be better to use the hot water vs. warm water. I have never heard of OdoBan, but I will buy some and try it out.
Thank you! And yes, I would agree hot water is best, I use warm water because my sink just doesn’t get super hot. Definitely try out OdoBan!
OdoBan is awesome. There are three scents to my knowledge. The gallon is concentrated so I keep a diluted mix on hand for cleaning. I often use the diluted mix in my laundry as well.
Could u do 2nd w the bare floor attachment? If anyone could direct me to one that be great too

Thank you for the video What about your hardwood floors? This is Draco’s mama Candi. I have one rug in the house but I have a lot of wood floors.
How do you change the dirty reservoir without it spilling?
Thank you for the info....nice job.
My handle will not fit in the slot correctly for assembly and gets stuck... What do I do?
Do you use the attachment to clean your dogs?
Is it suppose to heat up? Like it’s suppose to heat up the carpet too right?
My cleaner won’t spray (not from the small spray on right) to the carpet at all. Please help. Thanks.
Can you tell me if on the bottom of the Dirty Tank, besides the round ring, is there a rubber round piece?
No rubber round piece, only the gray plastic piece that screws on and off.
Do you know what setting I'm suppose to have the machine on when I'm using the hose? Last time I used the hose a bunch of water came from under the machine.
That happened to me also and I found that I just did not have the hose pressed in fully. Needs to click in solid
Same for me. I'm going to try it again, but I sure thought that it was plugged in tight.
My clean water tank empties quick after two swipes my clean water is gone. I do use my own cleaner very similar to what you use..Question is would you have any idea why this is happening?
Can you use the machine without the cleaning solution? Like just to pick up small particles on your carpet?
You could. I have a Dyson Vacuum I love though, so I haven’t tried it.
Great video; I watched others but wasn't sure about when/how long to hold the trigger to release the water/cleaning fluid. Mine was a hand-me-down & came without a manual. Could you advise what type of fabric/furniture it's appropriate to use? Thanks Again - you're a great "teacher."
Go to the manufacturer's website and look up your machine by its model number and you should be able to find a pdf instructional for it.
Is that song Carpet Cleaner Master Jam? I love that song!
Does this thing work on your hard floors?
No. The brushes that spin on this machine could damage hardwood floors.
But what about glass floor?
no@@efrahome
Can we use this on hard floor ?
No
Where is the dirty water going it’s not going in the tank 0:47
Thanks
Thank you for the video very helpful and you are beautiful
Can't hear you
