A: Hi Sam – we would not recommend using vinegar or bleach in the machine as it will damage the spray.
Can You Use Bleach On a Carpet? (What You Need To Know)
FAQ
Is it safe to put bleach in a carpet cleaner?
Bleach can damage the carpet backing and sub-floor So, even if the carpet’s face fibre is tolerant to strong chemicals, as the bleach migrates down the pile it can damage the carpet backing and underlay. If tracked around it may also damage the fibre and strip colour from other, non-polypropylene carpet in your home.
What can I use instead of Bissell solution?
Castile soap One of the best ways to clean the carpets in your home without spending a fortune is to use a homemade cleaning solution. One cup of Castile soap mixed with two and a half cups of warm water makes a perfect all-purpose cleaning solution.
Can I use other cleaning solutions in my Bissell?
For maximum cleaning results, BISSELL does not recommend using cleaning products other than BISSELL specified in the Big Green.
Can you use laundry detergent in a Bissell shampooer?
Laundry Detergents aren’t Formulated for Carpet Cleaning Of course not! Cleaning solutions are specifically formulated to clean and not damage the machines they’re used in and the material they’re treating. Laundry soap is designed to be used in washing machines to clean clothing.
