Title: Cleaning fluid
Post by: Madrat on July 18, 2011, 04:09:08 pm: Hi,

Can someone please help me, I have a Bissal deep clean machine, but the cost of the bissal fluid is going through the roof, can you suggest an alternative that would work with this machine.

Thanks

You're having a laugh aren't you.
Liquid Vanish is far better for this type of machine 8)

If you're a pro carpet cleaner, do something else. If you're a domestic user of this machine, get your yellow pages out and look for a pro cleaner who can clean your carpets properly :) It will save you a lot of hassle and probably make your carpets last 2 or 3 times longer.

If you're south east Leics (LE16 postcode) I can come show you a real man's carpet cleaning machine ;)

Post by: Madrat on July 18, 2011, 06:08:28 pm: Thanks but I'm quite happy with the bissell only the price of the fluid is the problem. Noe of my carpets are sticky because I rinse them well after. If I called in a pro every time the cat was sick or the the dog or my self walked in mud, or for that matter one of the chicken got in and left a little parcel I would be bankrupt in no time.

I've just used one of these machine, NO I mean I have JUST used one, as we are dog sitting for a friend and they have one of these things so thought I'd try out the hand tool for suction levels. Jeez I'd be better off using a straw than using one of these.

Nice piece of kit by the way.

Post by: robert meldrum on July 22, 2011, 06:29:19 pm: Hold on Madrat, I just saw the most amazing advert on TV which will surely revolutionise the way carpets are cleaned.
A filthy very light beige carpet was brought back to " as new " condition by spreading some sawdust like material..brushing it in and after having a coffee and chat vacuuming up the soil which the " sawdust " had magically transformed...and it only costs pennies to clean a room.
Absolutely amazing !
