Microban® antibacterial   
product protection
Microban antibacterial product protection is   
built into key components to help prevent   
the growth of harmful common household   
bacteria. It helps to keep the unit fresher an  
cleaner between uses.
scotchgard™ protector
Carpet protection applied at the mill typically 
wears down over time from heavy foot traffic  
and everyday cleaning, including deep  
cleaning. To help restore this important  
protection, only BISSELL offers cleaning  
formulas with Scotchgard protector. This offers 
extra protection against dirt and tough stains 
to keep your carpets looking good longer. 
before you clean
1.  remove easily moved furniture (chairs, 
lamps, coffee/cocktail tables, etc.) from 
room if needed.
2.  Vacuum carpet thoroughly.
3.  Decide where to begin. Plan to leave 
a path open to empty soiled water and 
refill cleaner.
note: carpeting will dry in three 
to four hours, depending on carpet 
style and air circulation in room.  
a floor fan speeds drying.

Tip:
It is recommended

that you empty the 
contents of the  
collection tank. If the 
collection tank gets too 
full, you may begin to 
see foam spitting out 
of the vent cover. If 
this happens, empty 
the collection tank.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only 
BISSELL cleaning formulas for 
full size machines in your deep 
cleaner. Use of cleaning formulas 
that contain lemon or pine oil may 
damage this appliance and void 
guarantee. Chemical spot clean-
ers or solvent-based soil removers 
should not be used. These products 
may react with the plastic materials 
used in your deep cleaner, causing 
cracking or pitting.

Tip:
Deep cleaning spots, spills, and 
high traffic areas on a regular 
basis can prolong carpet life.
