Unboxing and Assembly of Your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet
Before you can start enjoying the deep cleaning power of your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet, you’ll need to assemble it. Don’t worry, the process is straightforward and usually takes just a few minutes. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get you started:
- Carefully unpack all components: Remove all parts from the box and lay them out. You should have the main cleaner body, the handle, the clean water tank, the dirty water tank, and possibly some attachments depending on your specific model (like a hose and stain tool).
- Attach the handle: Slide the handle into the designated slot on the main body of the cleaner until it clicks into place. You might need to use a bit of pressure to ensure it’s securely fastened.
- Identify the tanks: The Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet comes with two tanks: one for clean water and cleaning solution, and another to collect the dirty water extracted from your carpets. The clean water tank is usually located at the top front, and the dirty water tank at the back.
- Fill the clean water tank: Remove the clean water tank and unscrew the cap. Fill it with hot tap water to the indicated fill line. Then, add Bissell cleaning solution according to the instructions on the solution bottle and the cleaner’s manual. Always use Bissell cleaning solutions designed for carpet cleaners to avoid damage and ensure optimal performance.
- Reattach the tanks: Place both the clean and dirty water tanks back into their respective positions until they are securely locked in.
Understanding the components of your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet carpet cleaner is the first step to effective cleaning.
Once assembled, your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet is ready to tackle pet messes and revitalize your carpets.
How to Use Your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet for Deep Carpet Cleaning
Now that your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet is assembled and ready, let’s dive into how to use it for deep cleaning your carpets and upholstery. Follow these steps for optimal cleaning results:
- Prepare the area: Before you start cleaning, vacuum the area thoroughly with a regular vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt, debris, and pet hair. This pre-vacuuming step is crucial for preventing clogs and maximizing the effectiveness of your deep cleaner.
- Select cleaning mode: The Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet typically offers different cleaning modes, such as “Deep Clean” for heavily soiled carpets and “Express Clean” for lighter cleaning and faster drying. Choose the appropriate mode based on your cleaning needs. For pet stains and odors, “Deep Clean” mode is generally recommended.
- Plug in and power on: Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and turn on the Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet.
- Start cleaning: Holding the handle, slowly push the cleaner forward while squeezing the trigger to release the cleaning solution. Make one wet pass forward and then slowly pull the cleaner back, releasing the trigger to allow the machine to suction up the dirty water. Overlap each cleaning path slightly to ensure even coverage.
- Empty the dirty water tank: As you clean, the dirty water tank will fill up. You’ll notice the suction power decrease when it’s full. Turn off and unplug the cleaner, remove the dirty water tank, and empty the dirty water in a sink or toilet. Rinse the tank before reattaching it to the machine.
- Repeat cleaning passes: For heavily stained or soiled areas, you may need to repeat cleaning passes. Work slowly and allow the cleaning solution to dwell for a few moments on stubborn stains before suctioning.
- Use attachments for upholstery and spot cleaning: If your model comes with attachments, you can use the hose and stain tool to clean upholstery, stairs, and hard-to-reach areas. Attach the desired tool, spray the cleaning solution onto the area, and then use the tool to scrub and suction up the dirt.
- Rinse carpets (optional): For residue-free carpets, you can perform a rinse cycle by filling the clean water tank with only water (no cleaning solution) and making a few passes over the cleaned areas.
- Allow carpets to dry: After cleaning, allow your carpets to dry completely. This may take several hours, depending on humidity and airflow. You can improve drying time by opening windows or using fans. Avoid walking on the carpets until they are fully dry.
Effectively cleaning carpets involves proper technique and understanding your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet’s functions.
Maximizing the Performance of Your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet
To ensure your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet continues to deliver exceptional cleaning performance for years to come, consider these helpful tips:
- Regularly clean your machine: After each use, empty and rinse both the clean and dirty water tanks. Clean the brush rolls and nozzle to remove any hair or debris buildup. Refer to your user manual for specific cleaning instructions.
- Use the right cleaning solutions: Always use Bissell cleaning solutions formulated for carpet cleaners. Using other solutions or household cleaners can damage your machine and void your warranty. Bissell offers specialized formulas for pet stains and odors that work best with the Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet.
- Treat stains promptly: For best results, treat pet stains and spills as quickly as possible. Fresh stains are easier to remove than old, set-in stains.
- Pre-treat stubborn stains: For tough stains, consider using a Bissell pre-treatment spray before deep cleaning with your Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet. This can help loosen the stain and improve cleaning results.
- Don’t over-wet carpets: Avoid over-saturating your carpets with cleaning solution. Use slow, controlled passes and allow the machine to suction up as much water as possible. Over-wetting can extend drying time and potentially damage your carpet padding.
- Proper storage: Store your Bissell Revolution ProHeat 2X Pet in a dry place, preferably indoors, to protect it from the elements.
