BISSELL has been a leader in floor care for well over a century. After introducing one of the earliest forms of modern vacuum, the company has continued its commitment to innovation across a range of floor care products, including BISSELL vacuums, BISSELL steam mops and BISSELL cleaning solutions.

Among its cleaning machines, BISSELL makes deep clean upright carpet cleaners, smaller and more portable carpet cleaner models, convenient handheld steam cleaner options and all-in-one vacuum and steam cleaners.

Choosing the right carpet cleaner is a lot like choosing the right vacuum for your home. Consider the kind of cleaning routine you will have and what weight and size you can accommodate—both while storing and while using your carpet cleaner. If you have pets, you’ll be glad to know that BISSELL offers many pet-specific carpet cleaner options.

If you are using a smaller BISSELL carpet cleaner, like a BISSELL Little Green or BISSELL SpotClean, you will want to focus on specific areas that need deep cleaning. You will also have the benefit of easily moving between cleaning carpets and cleaning furniture. Meanwhile, with an upright carpet cleaner like the BISSELL TurboClean, you will be able to efficiently address large areas of carpeting.

With all models, follow the directions about the kind of water and floor care cleaning solution to use with the device. You should also properly drain, clean and dry your carpet cleaner after using it and before putting it back in storage.

If you want a device that can address floor surfaces other than carpet, consider investing in a BISSELL steam mop like the BISSELL SteamShot. Much like a handheld or stick vacuum, these machines are often lighter weight and easier to handle for regular cleaning.
