How to Clean Your Bissel Ready Clean Carpet Cleaner

This is a video that I've been wanting to do ever since I received a comment on another video about taking apart the Bissel Ready Clean Carpet Cleaner.

A while I ago, I did a product review video for the Bissel Ready Clean. Which you can view right HERE:

The comment I received was from a viewer who had taken theirs apart for cleaning, and was having a hard time getting it back together. I decided that I should shoot a video of my cleaning process then next time I use the machine to help people see how I do it.

I'm not going to sugar coat this- Cleaning out this machine is a bit gross. I pick a lot of wads of lint and pet hair out with my fingers. It's not hard, but it isn't pleasant either. But beyond that, it's mostly a matter of rinsing all the parts inside and out, then putting it back together.

I also make it a point to give a bit of a warning about dumping the waste water- do it outside. Do NOT dump this in your toilet or basement drain or slop sink! The MASSIVE amount of hair and lint absolutely WILL block your sewer line and you'll end up having to have your lines opened up by a rooter service. No JOKE!

What I don't mention in this video is that in the winter, I still dump the waste water outside. I rinse the parts in a slop sink, but I don't let the hair go into the drain. I use a strainer to collect the hair and throw it away so it doesn't end up in my sewer lines.

I hope this video is helpful! Thanks for watching!
