Essential Cleaning Steps for Your Revolution Pet Pro
To ensure your Revolution Pet Pro continues to deliver powerful cleaning, daily and periodic maintenance is key. Here are the essential steps you should follow:
Emptying and Rinsing the Dirty Water Tank
After each use, it’s vital to empty the dirty water tank. Leaving dirty water in the tank can lead to unpleasant odors and bacterial growth.
- Remove the Tank: Detach the dirty water tank from your Revolution Pet Pro.
- Empty the Dirty Water: Carefully pour out the dirty water.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the tank with clean water to remove any remaining debris or sediment.
- Dry and Reassemble: Allow the tank to air dry completely before reattaching it to your machine.
Cleaning the Brush Rolls and Nozzle
Hair, fibers, and debris can accumulate in the brush rolls and nozzle, reducing the cleaning effectiveness of your Revolution Pet Pro. Regular cleaning prevents clogs and maintains optimal suction.
- Turn off and Unplug: Ensure your Revolution Pet Pro is turned off and unplugged.
- Access Brush Rolls and Nozzle: Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on accessing the brush rolls and nozzle assembly. This usually involves removing a faceplate or cover.
- Remove Debris: Carefully remove any visible hair, threads, or debris wrapped around the brush rolls. Use scissors or your fingers to gently untangle and remove the buildup.
- Clean the Nozzle: Check the nozzle for any blockages. Remove any debris to ensure proper suction and spray function.
- Rinse Components (If Possible): If the brush roll assembly and nozzle components are detachable and washable, rinse them under running water to remove any lingering dirt. Ensure they are completely dry before reassembling.
- Reassemble: Reattach the brush rolls and nozzle assembly securely, following the reverse steps of disassembly.
Filter Maintenance
Your Revolution Pet Pro may have filters that need periodic cleaning or replacement to maintain air flow and suction power.
- Locate Filters: Identify the location of the filters on your machine. These are usually near the water tanks or motor housing. Consult your user manual if needed.
- Remove and Inspect: Remove the filters and inspect them for dirt and buildup.
- Clean or Replace:
- Washable Filters: If your filters are washable, gently rinse them with lukewarm water until clean. Allow them to air dry completely before reinstalling.
- Replaceable Filters: If the filters are not washable or are damaged, replace them with new filters as recommended by BISSELL.
- Reinstall Filters: Once dry or replaced, securely reinstall the filters in their designated locations.
Deep Cleaning for Optimal Performance
For a more thorough clean of your Revolution Pet Pro, periodic deep cleaning is recommended. This ensures all components are free from buildup and your machine operates at its best.
- Follow Regular Cleaning Steps: Begin by performing all the regular cleaning steps mentioned above (emptying tanks, cleaning brush rolls and nozzle, filter maintenance).
- Clean the Machine Exterior: Wipe down the exterior surfaces of your Revolution Pet Pro with a damp cloth to remove any dust or spills.
- Check Hoses and Attachments: If your model includes hoses and attachments, detach them and check for any blockages. Rinse them with water and allow to dry.
- Inspect Spray Nozzles: Ensure the spray nozzles are clear of any obstructions. Use a pin or a small brush to gently clear any blockages if necessary.
Maintaining Your Revolution Pet Pro for Longevity
Beyond cleaning, proper storage and handling contribute to the longevity of your Revolution Pet Pro.
- Proper Storage: Store your Revolution Pet Pro in a dry, indoor location. Avoid storing it in extreme temperatures or damp environments.
- Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your machine for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracked hoses or damaged cords. Address any issues promptly.
- Use Recommended Formulas: Only use BISSELL recommended cleaning formulas designed for your Revolution Pet Pro to avoid damage and ensure optimal cleaning performance.
By following these cleaning and maintenance steps, you can ensure your Revolution Pet Pro carpet cleaner remains a powerful and reliable tool for keeping your home clean and fresh from pet messes for years to come. Regular care is an investment in the performance and lifespan of your cleaning machine.
