Bissell Little Green

With a baby, several parties, and three years of traffic our capret was looking pretty spotty (he he pun).

So this weekend we bought a little green by bissell. We debated renting a steam cleaner but that would have been (in theory) more work as we would have to move all the heavy stuff around to get under it. The little green looked like a good compromise. It's compact to store easily, sucks up the water and .. it's a shampooer. Unpacking the green was a little disappointing. This is the basic model with no options. That said, it cleaned all the spots on the carpet save one that I really have no idea what it is. There are 2 tanks, one for water/cleaning solution, one for dirty water. I learned that the green is not a vacume cleaner and you should vacume the hell out of the places you plan to clean before using it. It gums up pretty easily which only served to reduce it's suction not render it useless. I had difficulty getting to the location that gumed up , which would seem to be something the designers would have thought of since it IS prone to doing this. Eventually we will steam the rugs, but this will save us from the little spots.
