Pulled out the BISSELL I bought years ago at QVC, and it will not suck up water.  We tore it apart and cleaned everything, put if back to gether, still not working.  

I am not spending anymore time on it, does anyone want to recommend a carpet cleaner?  

We liked the Bissell, and we have a dog so there is dog hair in the house but I am really good about sweeping several times a week.  thanks.

We rent a Bissell professional unit from a local grocery store. It works very well!

I bought a Bissell carpet scrubber from QVC years ago too.  I loved that thing.  When it konked  out I bought another Bissell.  It's fine but not as easy to use as the old one.

When I was researching carpet cleaners and cleaning carpets, I ran across this guy on youtube who has a professional cleaning business.  His video on how to clean carpets was an "ah ha!" moment for me and I'm going to adopt his method.  He does make a recommendation for a cleaner--a Bissell--but you should check out his video for some new ideas if you're interested.  One of his tips:  You use the carpet cleaner only for rinsing and drying! 

His youtube channel is "Clean That Up" and I think the video is 5 Tips to Clean Your Carpet like a Pro (or something like that).  In other videos he makes some recommendations on cleaning solutions that are readily available and why you sometimes end up with the carpet seeming to be sticky or to get dirty more quickly after cleaning. 

His method seems like it would make cleaning carpets less of a major pain and you don't need a $$$$ cleaner to do it.

I have a Bissel Big Green professional carpet cleaner.  They are expensive, but they work.  They clean and suck the water up so that the carpet is almost dry.

I raised three kids with off white carpet all through my house.

You can rent this model at the Home Depot if you want to try before you buy, or just don't want to spend the money to own one.

@WRXtoo  Thanks for the youtube suggestion as carpet cleaning is in my future.

You're welcome!  His method makes so much sense and your carpet cleaner stays a lot cleaner as well.  Have fun cleaning!  

I have my sprayer all ready to go & just working myself up to the fun of moving furniture around........

@WRXtoo I love to watch "Clean That Up" videos.  He really seems to know what he's doing.

I have the perfect rec for a carpet cleaner------a pro to do it for me!! No way in blue blazes do I think doing that job on your own is better  calling a pro to come do it!! Am over all that.

@wagirl I am following your suggestion! I just called to have all our area rugs cleaned as well as the kitchen tile and grout! And it is less than buying a new scrubber and doing it ourselves.

I had Bissell floor cleaners - both bare floor and carpet - we are cleaning things out and took them to the donation center yesterday, there were 5 of them. I'm not replacing them thank to you!
