Many people buy their own small Bissell Carpet cleaning machines, others rent one a stand up from a local grocery store. The quality of the clean will be far lower than an industrial size machine but there some tricks to get the most out of your carpet.

1. Get a better cleaning Solution

Buy your cleaning solution from a janitorial supply store instead of a grocery store. You will get far more value but be sure follow the dilution instruction. Stronger dilution does not mean a better clean.

2. Use a Pre-spray

Put your cleaner into a spray bottle and spray it generously on the whole carpet. (don’t let it dry) When only filling your machine with clean water you will leave far less detergent in the carpet. Left behind detergent attracts dirt.

3. Get a machine that has a hand tool.

This will make doing cleaning the carpet on the stairs far simpler. You can also work on removing the dark edges around the base boards.
