SpotClean HydroSteam™

No. Portable carpet washers, such as the SpotClean range, are designed to clean small spots and everyday messes such as spills, spots and sections of upholstery.

When purchasing a deep cleaner to clean your entire home, it is important to consider features such as the tank capacity, cleaning path width, motor size, and features. For cleaning whole homes with rooms of carpet and upholstery, you may want to consider one of our full-size upright machines.

The BISSELL portable and handheld carpet washer are wet spray/extraction machines only. Do not use them for picking up dry debris. You may damage your deep cleaner and void your warranty. It is recommended to vacuum the area with a dry vacuum (where possible) before using your deep cleaner to remove debris and hair. Please refer to the “how to use” section of your User’s Guide for additional details.

Drying time varies greatly by the type of carpet or fabric upholstery, the density/thickness of the pile, the mode used on the machine, airflow around the area, and cleaning technique of the user. It is best to wait at least two to three hours before walking on the carpet after deep cleaning.

Some of our full-size upright machines include Express Mode - which can have carpets dry in as little as half an hour.

Note: The user is in control of the water output with BISSELL machines. Press the trigger to release water & formula, let go of the trigger to dry passes.

BISSELL carpet and upholstery washers are safe and effective on many carpet types and fabric upholstery, although certain pure wool and delicate carpets or fabrics require extra special care. BISSELL recommends checking and following the care label and/or manufacturer's cleaning instructions for carpets, rugs, upholstery, and car interiors prior to using our products. Our carpet washers are not suitable for delicate pure wool, viscose, jute, velvet, silk, leather, natural suede.

BISSELL SpotClean HydroSteam is compatible with any of the low-foaming BISSELL formulas labelled for use in portable machines. Refer to your User Guide for more information, or browse compatible formulas below.

Provided you have checked the care label of the item prior and performed a test patch in a discreet area to ensure compatibility, we don't see why you wouldn't be able to use SpotClean HydroSteam™ in Steam Mode without formula to refresh garments and curtains.

Yes. You can use the new Multi-Surface Tool for spot cleaning tile & grout and even sneakers.
