Cleaning fluid

Keep plenty of genuine BISSELL Cleaning Solution on hand so you can clean whenever it fits your schedule. Always use genuine BISSELL deep cleaning formulas. Non-BISSELL cleaning solutions may harm the machine and will void the warranty.

Assembly

Assembling your Little Green is a simple process. The only thing you will need to assemble your cleaner is a Phillips-head screwdriver.

2. Take the flex hose storage bracket and slide the lower plate into the opening on the back of unit. Make sure the screw holes line up.
3. Insert screw and tighten with a screwdriver.
4. Wrap the flex hose around unit and place hose grip into bracket. Turn bracket latch clockwise to lock in place.

Operations

Getting ready

1. To fill the clean water/solution tank.

a. Remove the tank by lifting it straight up and then away from the unit.

b. Unscrew the black cap at the bottom of the clean/solution tank.

c. Follow the fill lines on your clean tank to add the correct amount of hot tap water (140°F/60°C MAX), portable machine formula, and 1oz of BISSELL Boost if preferred. DO NOT BOIL OR MICROWAVE WATER.

d. Replace the clean/solution tank by lining up the vertical guides on the left side of the unit with the indentations on the clean/solution tank and gently sliding it down into position.

Pre-treating

Cleaning effectiveness will be enhanced if you pre-treat heavily stained or highly-soiled areas. Here’s how to do it:

1. Hold the cleaning tool just above the surface of the carpet or upholstery to be cleaned. Press the trigger to release a spray of cleaning solution directly onto the soiled area.
2. Wait 3-5 minutes before cleaning.

Cleaning with the Tough Stain Tool

Attach the 3” Tough Stain Tool to the handheld cleaning hose. Plug in the unit and press the power button beneath the handle to turn it on. Hold the tool 1 inch above soiled surface. Press the spray trigger to mist solution over and onto the soiled area Release the spray trigger and gently scrub the stain To lift the stain away, apply downward pressure on the tool and slowly pull it toward you. Watch as powerful suction removes the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed. As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary. Note: When using BISSELL Oxy Boost formula, cleaning continues for 6-8 hours after application.

Cleaning with the Deep Stain Tool (select models)

Attach the Deep Stain Tool to the handheld cleaning hose Plug in the unit and press the power button beneath the handle to turn it on. Set the tool directly on top of the carpet before pulling the spray trigger to inject formula deep into your carpet fibers. Always keep the Deep Stain Tool in direct contact with carpeting to avoid over-spraying. Release the spray trigger and gently scrub the stain. To lift the stain away, apply downward pressure on the tool and slowly pull it toward you. Watch as powerful suction removes the dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no more dirt can be removed. As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much moisture as possible. Repeat this step as often as necessary.
