Bissell Little Green Challenge

Does everyone remember the nasty Spaghetti O stain that I posted in a past Wordless Wednesday and begged you all for help? Yeah, that one. Well, I read all of your comments and tried everything that was listed and nothing got the stain out! I was beginning to think that we were going to have to live with that nasty orange stain right in front of our couch forever. That was until I put the Bissell Little Green to the ultimate challenge.


Meet the Machine:
The Bissell Little Green is a compact deep cleaner with the earth on it's mind. Made from a minimum of 50% post consumer recycled plastic the Little Green packs a punch with its strong spray and Tough Stain Brush. Its Collection/Dirty Tank, Solution/Clean Tank, and Vacuum Flex Hose are all PVC free and it has a sustainable design and packaging.

Set up:
The assembly process on the Little Green was minimal and even I could complete the task, by myself! When that was finished we moved on to filling the Solution/Clean Tank. We added the entire bottle of Bissell Little Green formula to the fill line and filled with hot water. After replacing the tank we attached the tough stain brush to the spray trigger.

Pre-treating:
To aide in this big task we pre-treated the stain with OxyPro Carpet Spot and Stain Remover 10 minutes before using the Bissell Little Green.



The Challenge:
After anxiously waiting on the 10 minutes to tick by C and I fought over who was going to get to use the Little Green first. Being the nice wife I obliged and he proceeded to press the spray trigger. After applying the cleaning solution to the wonderful orange stain he used the brush to gently scrub. Then he suctioned the dirt and solution up by using pressure and pulling the brush toward him. After he had his fun I got to take over. I continued the same process on the rest of the stain.



The Results:
After I finished cleaning the stain we both stepped back to survey the results. The stain had significantly faded but it was not completely gone. So we repeated the cleaning process. When that process was finished you could hardly tell that there had been a massive orange stain on the carpet.



Conclusion:
I absolutely love how compact and small the Bissell Little Green is. While it is small, it has strong spray and suction as well as a long cord. It is also a lot lighter than I thought it would be. The Little Green works instantly on small stains but larger, heavier soiled stains need to be treated beforehand for best results. I do have a warning though, it gets additive! After I finished on the Spaghetti O stain I found myself going around the room on my hands and knees looking for spots to clean.
A big thank you to Bissell for this review opportunity.
