The Bissell SpotClean Pro is one of the most powerful such units I’ve tested, easily sucking up even the toughest of stains.

With a combination of superior suction, tough scrubbing action and specially-formulated cleaning solutions, you can easily remove spots, stains, and embedded dirt from your carpet.

The tank is large enough that you won't be running to the sink every few minutes, and the handheld cleaning brush helps you reach those difficult spots. The SpotClean™ Pro comes with an extra-long power cord plus a selection of brushes to remove 'just happened' stains as well as older, ingrained marks wherever they may occur. When used with a cleaning solution, this shampooer can remove stains, dirt, and odors from carpets of almost any style.

To test out the SpotClean Pro’s performance, I took a carpet sample and put two stains on it: dried mud and dried ketchup. In fact, it’s one of the neatest spot cleaners that I’ve reviewed, with the hose staying clipped out of the way. This portable carpet cleaner comes with a 6" Stair Tool, 3" Tough Stain Tool and a trial-size bottle of our PRO MAX Clean + Protect formula to permanently remove tough pet stains. He’s a mailman and has rural route so needless to say after several years of being driven around with a window constantly down and doors being opened constantly to move packages and trays of mail in all weather conditions plus dad eating lunch in it every day the seats were looking pretty bad. I purchased a vehicle and SpotClean Pro is a guarantee to keep my car looking as good as the day I bought it.

It’s usually on the lower back or bottom of the machine (for Lift-Off® models, remove the Lift-Off pod to find label) or behind the cleaning tanks . I also just used my Spotclean to 'clean' up the mess left behind by my decrepit Bissell Proheat 2X steam cleaner.
