Some questions and answers:
How do you use Kenmore spot cleaner?
The Kenmore Spotlite has separate clean water tank and dirty water tank, when using it, the first thing you need to do is filling the clean water tank with room temperature water and mix it with clean formula, water should not be above 104°F/40°C.
And then select one of the two included tools and slide it onto the hose end until you hear a ‘click’.
Hold the tool about 1 inch over the soiled spot which you want to clean. Squeeze the spray trigger to spray cleaning solution over that spot. Use the brush on the tool to
scrub in a back and forth motion.
For best results, you should apply downward pressure on the front of the tool and pull it backward slowly to vacuum up excess dirty liquids. If necessary, just repeat the process until you are satisfied with the results. After each cleaning job, or when the dirty water reaches the max fill line, you have to detach the dirty water tank and empty it.
What’s the best carpet cleaner solution to buy?
Every person has his own preferences, however, here are some popular carpet shampoo brands you can consider: Hoover, Bissell, Resolve and Oxiclean.
What is the best way to spot clean carpet?
Use carpet spot and stain removal solution to pretreat the soiled areas. Then use a brush or a spot cleaner machine (if you own one) to scrub away the stain.
Is it better to shampoo or steam clean carpets?
It is up to you. Both can clean carpets.
Do professional carpet cleaners use steam?
Yes, steam cleaning is one of the popular carpet cleaning methods.
Can you use any shampoo in a carpet cleaner?
Some carpet cleaner manufacturers require the customers to use certain formula, or it will void the warranty.
And before using any shampoo, you’d better consult the carpet manufacturer first to avoid doing any damage to the carpet.

If you need a vacuum cleaner for couch,upholstery,bed cleaning, most of the time, you definitely do not like the hassle of taking the bulky upright machine out for such small cleaning jobs.
Therefore,a lighter and smaller one is a better choice:
an all-around stick and handheld 2 in 1 unit is the best option,you can use it to quickly vacuum floor or above floor;
a handheld vacuum for couch is useful when you do not need to vacuum under furniture,for example,you have very low profile couch and furniture that a vac nozzle cannot fit into;
a robotic vacuum is a good option if you just want to pick up the messes under sofa,bed,and other furniture;
However,sometimes,using a dry vacuum is not enough to make your house clean, you need some other tools:
a spot cleaner is a nice tool if you want to remove those coffee,dog and cat poop and pee stains on carpeted surfaces.
a versatile steamer machine is a great buy if you want to sanitize the couch,upholstery,furniture,floors.
This is a cordless stick and handheld 2 in 1 versatile vacuum cleaner for cleaning sofa,under furniture,floors,and more. It comes with various attachments for different cleaning jobs.

Life is better with pets, that’s why we are pet owners.
However, I don’t think there is anybody loves those annoying pet pee and poo. To be honest, I hate to deal with these pet peeve, especially when the accidents happen on carpets,rugs,couches, they leave ugly stains and smell that cannot be easily removed.
We need tools to get rid of them. Using a carpet shampooer seems to be an effective way to get it done.
If you are looking for the best carpet cleaner for pets, here are 3 of the highest rated machines you can take into consideration. They are:
The BISSELL 86T3 Big Green is a deep carpet shampooer that is able to wash and dry carpet at a professional grade. You can expect it to get dog, cat, and other pet vomit, poop, urine stains and odors out of carpet, make carpet look like new and smell nice.This machine has a large rotating brush for carpet and rug cleaning; it comes with a 9 foot hose and a 6-inch stain tool to help clean upholstery, stairs, etc.; it includes removable large capacity tanks; has a flow indicator to monitor fluid levels and tell when to check tanks; it also features adjustable handle to fit user heights. Other specs you may want to know: 12 amps motor,10.5-inch cleaning path width,backed by 5 year limited warranty.
If you do research online, you will find that it receives great customer satisfaction.
The build quality of the flow indicator is the biggest complaint. You can read these users reviews at Amazon
And this machine is very heavy, weighs 40.6 lbs when empty, pretty heavy to carry and pull around, especially carry it up and down stairs.
Overall, if you are looking for a carpet cleaner that works, then this Bissell 86T3 Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine deserves a look.
The Bissell 1986 is engineered with pet owners in mind, for homes with cleaning needs like eliminating dog and cat accident stains, odors, cleaning dog diarrhea from carpet, etc.
It has separate 1 gallon clean water tank and dirty water tank, but no detergent tank. You have to mix the clean water with detergent before cleaning. There are lines on the tank to help you pour into the right amount of formula. It has 2 buttons for spraying, a hand control one for general cleaning and a foot control one for pretreating stains. And it features 2 cleaning modes – a Deep Cleaning Mode and an Express Cleaning Mode. To get best cleaning performance, it is recommended to clean in Deep Clean Mode, but not for delicate carpet or area rugs. To regularly and quickly clean the surfaces, select the Express Cleaning Mode, it gets carpet dry faster. But you should always check with your carpet/rug manufacturer for their recommended cleaning method before selecting the cleaning mode.
This Bissell carpet shampooer can also be used to clean hard floors. However, it is not designed for hard floor cleaning, and it requires a Bare Floor Tool which is sold separately to clean hard floor.
This machine comes with a 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool for dry vacuuming and wet washing, including removing pet hair, stains and odors off couches,upholstered chairs,sofa,etc..
There is also a nozzle clean out tool included which is helpful for removing dog hair or lint inside the nozzle and brush roll.
6.8 amps,11-inch cleaning path width,8 foot hose,25 foot cord.
One of the biggest complaints is there is no brush off control.
Multiple users also complained about the belt quality.
Some questions and answers you may want to know before buying.
Does this Bissell carpet extractor have a heater to heat the water?
No, it doesn’t. You should use hot tap water.
Does it have a heater to help dry the carpet?
No.
Does it have a separate formula tank?
No,it doesn’t. Formula should be pour into the clean water tank before cleaning. So, there is no way to spray formula only onto the carpet/rug.
How many belts does it have?
The Bissell 1986 has 3 belts for the brushes on the machine.
Are the brushes motorized?
Yes.
Can you use it as a dry vacuum?
No. This is not a dry vacuum but a carpet washer. You should vacuum before using this machine.
Can this carpet scrubber be used on wool carpet?
Always check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning.
If no tag, it is not recommended to use the deep clean mode for cleaning delicate, silk, wool, antique or area rugs.
Do a test clean on a spot if you are not sure if it’s safe on your carpet.
What tools does it include?
It comes with a 2-in-1 pet upholstery tool and a 3-inch tough stain tool.
Also a detachable hose,accessory bag, 2 x 8oz trial size formula.
What’s the warranty?
It carries a 5 year limited warranty. Read manual for details.
P.S.
It is recommended to read all the instructions in the user guide before using to reduce or avoid common problems caused by improper uses. Some leaking and worse smell problems that users complained could be avoided. But if you get a lemon,that’s another story.
This is a carpet washer, not a vacuum cleaner, so you should not move it as fast as a vacuum. You should move it slower to avoid leaving excess water on the carpet or rugs.
All parts should be dried thoroughly before storing. Some users suggest holding down the spray button to release any remaining solution inside the parts of the machine could help avoid mildew odor.
To only rinse carpet, use only water without mixing with formula.
For Hoover SmartWash, this machine is the simplest one to use. It does not require you to mix solution, you do not need to press any trigger to spray solution during the cleaning process. It has separate clean water tank and solution tank, it automatically mixes water with detergent, and dispense onto carpet. What you need to do is push it forward, and pull backward to wash and dry the carpet. It also comes with a hose and hand tool to remove pet messes from upholstery, stairs, couches, etc.
There is also a Pet version of the SmartWash. It has brushes that resist pet odor and antimicrobial pet tool for above floor cleaning.
And it features a removable handle which has a built-in detergent bottle, you can remove the handle to pre-treat those old pet stains and stubborn spots.
If you live in a small home, the above big size carpet extractors may not fit your needs. What you need is a compact machine that is smaller and takes up less space. However, smaller size machines are not as powerful as the big ones, and they do not clean as thoroughly as the big guys. If you are interested in buying a small one, you can have a look at the Hoover PowerDash and Bissell TurboClean.
