no its a dumb American thing….i hate it. I’m from Europe and we take our shoes off, cant stand when my friends think its OK to waltz onto my clean floors with their outside shoes
Good points, although I think it’s a good idea to wear shoes when cleaning the carpet if the bottoms of the shoes are clean. The reason is the carpet will be wet with cleaning solution or water depending on which phase is being done, and wearing slippers or socks to do the cleaning would mean in not much time they would be saturated.
I’ve seen professional carpet cleaners use covers for their shoes. Maybe that’s the solution.
Thanks for the video, but I think it’s funny that u are wearing shoes on ur carpet while ur cleaning it. I’m from Hawaii and I always thought it was weird that people would carpet their house but then would walk in with their shoes. Is that a mainland thing? When I visit family and friends in the mainland they al wear their shoes in the house, it just doesn’t make sense to me. House slippers I can understand but shoes that is worn outside…weird!
And yes I have a Pro Heat 2X exactly like the one shown here, only it’s from 2005 I think this one is newer. I dislike Bissell for the fact that the plastic is CHEAP and I have had to replace the entire front of ours over the past few years. It was actually out of commission for six years because my parents (I’m 17) didn’t know replacement parts were available online(duh). They just used our Little Green to do spots and upholstery.
Or do what I do to get better results, take out the hand tool, get down on your hands and knees and start sucking more water, the main part of the carpet cleaner doesn’t suck up all of it, this makes the carpet cleaner. I did this to our carpet, and after a misunderstanding with the neighbors the property management came over and thought the carpet was new 🙂 The extra effort makes all the difference. But it is VERY a monotonous process, I personally prefer vacuuming.
I replaced our previous carpet cleaner with the one in this video because of that problem. It got to where it wouldn’t spray. When I talked to the gentleman at the cleaner store he told me hard water deposits and solution get built up in the spray mechanism and prevent it from spraying. Repair bid on the old carpet cleaner was more than half what a new carpet cleaner would cost so I bought this ProHeat cleaner.
Not so. That’s the whole point of pulling the cleaner “backwards”. The carpet cleaner applies solution when you hold the trigger in on the clean pass and the front of the cleaner sucks up the solution in the same pass. THEN you do a rinse pass pulling the cleaner backwards while pulling the trigger. The cleaner then applies clean water to the carpet & the front of the cleaner sucks up the water. THEN if you want to do a dry pass you go over the carpet again without pulling the trigger.
you are supposed to pull the trigger and go forward and then bakword and then go over the same line again 4 times to suck up the water… you are not cleaning the carpets, you are just getting them wet
Yes. You will be applying hot water without solution in the rinse pass. This step will pull the solution out of the carpet that you applied in the cleaning pass.
You pull the trigger the whole time you’re pulling the machine back on a cleaning pass, this is when it is applying the cleaning solution. Then release the trigger and move the cleaner forward next to the cleaning pass you just made. Pull the trigger and begin another cleaning pass.
You need clean water in the formula tank and main tank for a rinse pass, but not for a drying pass.
Thanks for the feedback on the video.
Thanxx a lot for taking the time to share a very simple straight forward instructional video..GOD BLESS

forget the carpet… this guy needs to clean his horrid fingernails. egads.
you don’t have to go 4 times you can do 1 or 2 slow times but yes that how you do it.

Hi Sheri, I show how to use the hand attachment in my video on “How to spot clean carpet stains”.
Great demo but would have been 100% if you’d shown how to use the tools!!! 🙂 Thanks for your thorough video!
incorrect
Yes, to dispense water. But do make sure you switch the dial to “rinse” before doing so or you will have soapy carpeting which is not very pleasant.
Agreed.

How come my does not spray the water?
Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much man.
you are supposed to pull the trigger and go forward and then bakword and then go over the same line again 4 times to suck up the water… you are not cleaning the carpets, you are just getting them wet
Congratulations! That is a stupid comment.
our whole house has carpets except one big room
Yes. You will be applying hot water without solution in the rinse pass. This step will pull the solution out of the carpet that you applied in the cleaning pass.
during the rinse pass do you hold the trigger?
You pull the trigger the whole time you’re pulling the machine back on a cleaning pass, this is when it is applying the cleaning solution. Then release the trigger and move the cleaner forward next to the cleaning pass you just made. Pull the trigger and begin another cleaning pass.
