A: Yes. You must follow the dilution instructions exactly. Use in addition to your regular carpet cleaning solution. This disinfectant is very strong.
In many cases, using plain water in your carpet cleaning machine is enough to flush out soil and dirt. You can even add a bit of dishwashing detergent to help freshen the carpet.
A: Hi Lea, Yes you can use it in a carpet cleaner and it works great. We have a Bissell carpet cleaner that I use it in and I've never had any problems from using it. I put 1/4 cup in a tank of water. I hope this helps you.
You can use any kind of non-foaming, good quality rug cleaning solution made for hot water extraction: Simple Green, Rug Doctor, generic, etc. The machine really doesn't "know" what you are using.
Combine 1 cup of distilled water with one cup of distilled white vinegar and 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle. Shake to combine. Use directly on carpet stains, allowing 1-5 minutes dwell time before agitating with a brush until the stain is gone.
Abrasive cleaners can damage the carpet fibers and leave a bare spot where the stain used to be. The same goes for heavy-duty scrubbing brushes. If you must scrub your carpet, use a mild cleaner and a soft bristle brush to prevent damage.
Can I use cleaning formulas other than the BISSELL brand? It's possible to use others, but we recommend against it. Our formulas contain no dyes, phosphates or optical brighteners, and will produce optimal cleaning performance when used in combination with BISSELL carpet cleaning machines.

Have you ever wondered “Can I use Mr Clean in My Carpet Cleaner?” The answer is yes!
Yes. Bissell will tell you no, because they want you to buy their stuff. But it is fairly pricey and I've found virtually no difference in cleaning between Bissell's stuff, Pine-Sol, Fabuloso or any other multi-surface stuff you'd use normally to mop with. The only thing to be mindful of is the concentrations.
While liquid laundry detergents like Tide might seem like alternatives, they are not specifically formulated for carpet cleaning. It's recommended to use cleaning solutions designed explicitly for carpets to ensure effective cleaning without potential risks to your carpet's appearance and longevity.
Do not put any natures miracle products (other than the one specifically for carpet shampooing) in a carpet shampooer. The alcohol in natures miracles will destroy the inside of the carpet shampooer after only a few uses.
A few DIY carpet stain remover recipes that work for most stains include: One tablespoon of dish soap, ¼ cup of white vinegar and water. One cup of baking soda, ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide and 1 teaspoon of natural dish liquid.
Fabuloso is also a great cleaner for carpets. I mix it with water and use my carpet cleaning machine to clean my carpets. It effectively removes dirt and stains and leaves a pleasant scent. Overall, Fabuloso has been my trusted cleaning solution for years, and I highly recommend it.
Instead of using store-bought carpet cleaners, you can mix 3% hydrogen peroxide and water to treat ink, blood, pet and other stubborn stains from your delicate carpets. Some of the reasons are: It has oxidising properties that attack nasty stains and take them out of fabrics in a few minutes.
Can I use disinfectant or floor cleaner in my steam mop? No. Doing so can void the warranty, damage your machine, and make the appliance unsafe for use. My BISSELL steam mop will only steam when the trigger is pressed.

Squeeze in 15 drops of Dawn dish soap. Add 3 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. BAM! You now have the best homemade carpet cleaning solution imaginable.
After you get out your carpet cleaner, fill the clean tank to the line with hot (not boiling) tap water. Hot water does a better job cleaning than cold but, if you boil it, you run the risk of melting parts of your carpet cleaner. Add formula to the tank according to the bottle directions.
Keep your carpets looking and smelling their best with nothing more than baking soda! Regular vacuuming is essential, but deep cleaning can be expensive. Adding a sprinkle of baking soda to the mix will help remove stains, dirt and neutralise odours caused by everyday wear-and-tear like shoes, pets or food spills.
