Which carpet spot steam cleaner works best?

15 years ago

I need to buy something like one of the Bissell Spot Bots. I need to spot clean the apartment carpeting for inspection before moving into the new house -- and since I'll be getting a puppy this fall, I'm sure I'll need a spot cleaner for Spot's "spots!"

Which ones should I consider? Do you have one you swear by?

Thanks!!

Arlene,

I had one of the Little Green machines from Bissell and it was a piece of junk. I will never get another one.

If you have small spots that need to be cleaned have you tried the Resolve spray? It works pretty good at getting up spills/stains.

If you haven't visited the pet forums, ask them on tips for house training "spot"- there are some great people on there with excellent advice!

I have the Little Green machine, and am happy with it. I got it when we were house breaking our puppy and it was just what I needed! It's still useful, even after the pup is house trained.

I have a Bissell Green Machine and I think it works fine on spots. I use non chlorine bleach for cleaner. Naturally it's for small areas.
