Hi Pan! Great videos to watch once again! Enjoying your channel :) Maybe a question/suggestion.. Today I did a spotrepair on a foodtruck. Doing it on the spot with my mobile-setup, which wasn't easy outside, but got alot of attention ofcourse. I do sometimes use a tent aswell if possible. But it might just be a nice idea, although many 'beginners or enthousiasts' can be anxious about doing things like that, we're all in it for the learningcurve in cardetailing. And I actually noticed, you didn't really have a video about spotrepairkits, sprayfillers and putty's or fe. spraycans vs sprayguns vs touchup-pens or even the oldschool-ways of using needles/syringes or even toothpicks and denibbing-tools . It might be an interesting thing for you to do videos about that aspect in detailing and touching up scratches :) What methods, kits available, from beginners to expert-knowledge etc...many things for the community to enjoy :)
I have a Bissell unit. I use it on my car. I run hot tap water through the unit and I use P&S products. Terminator and Carper Bomber. Great products. If you are an enthusiast, this combo won’t disappoint you. I know as an enthusiast, I keep my vehicle on a regular maintenance schedule, so built up dirt will never be a problem. But for pro’s, no doubt, the Mytee unit is the way to go. Great video Pan. Maybe if I win the lottery I can upgrade. 😂😂Till the next one.
I used the bissel for a long time and really liked it. It got the job done, maybe not as fast, but I never had an issue getting a stain out of car seats. Used it for like 3 years or so
Great video I was wanting to extract carpets but didn't have a lot to spend on a carpet extractor and for roughly 40 dollars in parts and a shopvac I already had I turned my shopvac into a carpet extractor and it works as well as I could want for what I'm doing
My Bissell is FOUR YEARS OLD! Like many viewers, I’m thinking of the Mighty Mite after my Bissell bites the dust. STRANGE TIP: My auto detailing vendor said if you don’t use Bissell’s carpet shampoo, add about a tablespoon of Downey Fabric softener down the hose, otherwise, the Bissell machine will overdose on suds. Thanks again for ANOTHER great video!
I LOVE my Bissell - I had the large Bissell upright carpet cleaner and for what I used it for, spot cleaning, it was overkill. I got the little one and it is so easy to use, clean and put away!
I love my Bissell SpotClean Pro. My business is vinyl installation, but I do paint correction and exterior detailing/decontamination during the installation process when necessary. I do quick interior once-overs in cars as a courtesy, so the Bissell is perfect for my needs and does a fantastic job making floor mats look new.
Nice to see the Bissell get some love! Obviously the Mighty is the superior machine, but the Bissell offers a great value and has good performance for what it is. As always, great video!
Bissell actually is good enough for most, and if used properly it won't brake at all, like many claim...just be aware of the home-use intention and be carefull with putting pressure on the head. I actually love mine, especially since I'm working out of a small hatchback. The bissell fits my needs perfectly tbh ;-)
I love my Bissel Spot Clean Pro! I use it for almost 5 years now. After 5 years the hose ripped, i replaced it myself for 30 euro's. I reccomend not winding up the hose too tight like I did :) Great video as always!
Pan you did an awesome job explaining some of the differences between these two machines. Growing up in carpet mills in Northwest Georgia I have seen a lot of carpet. Basically if you are doing two or more interiors a week get the Mytee. This machine is built for hard work and offers more lift which will save time not having to make extra passes. The downside is more maintenance is required on the Mytee. The Bissell will clean very well but it just takes more time. The upside is the smaller head fits in tight spaces better and the maintenance is much easier. When your the one backing the warranty on carpet hot water extraction is the top tier level of cleaning. Thank you for another well thought out video Pan.
Every cleaning unit works great with lots of elbow grease. I've used a little green clean machine for the traffic patterns in a living room years ago. Took 3 hours and killed my body but it did okay. Definitely prefer a truckmount machine. I can do a living room in 15 minutes.
Bought the Bissel a couple of days before seeing this video and I’m so glad I did. I always stayed away from cleaning carpet for customers because I didn’t want to spend the money on the high dollar units. Had a customer call for just a carpet clean so I was forced to purchase one. Went to the local target and bought the same unit you used in this video. Fantastic job, customer was over the moon happy!! Thanks for backing up my purchase!
Cool! Yeah for light duty cleaning, especially if you don't clean carpets as part of a detailing business on a daily basis, a small spotter like the Bissell can still do a very good job, especially considering it won't break the bank. ;)
I bought a Bissel for my home detailing operation and I'm impressed..small but mighty. I just wish the hose was a little longer for better maneuverability of the unit. Un autre banger panner..
a couple things i would mention on these cleaners, i have used the little bissell spot cleaners since the late 90's i think it was called the little green machine or something, the thing i like most about them vs the mytee is the small handle, definitely more maneuverable in an automotive setting as far as getting around seat mounts and up towards the dash floor board area and up the sides of the door edge ect., i like to fill mine with hot water and no solution, then i use a pump sprayer with lite solution scrub with brush then extract, following with water only extraction to remove all solution out of carpets so there is chance of residue because that is the #1 cause of attracting new stains. but i am sort of ocd when it comes to left over residue on any surfaces lol it drives me nuts when i can feel or smell left over cleaner, plus that way it doesn't interfere with your chosen air freshener. just my opinion. love your videos pan !!!
One other little tip. The Bissell uses polycarbonate tanks. Since the tank is small, you can fill it with hot tap water and then put the whole tank in the microwave and heat it up to ~80 C or so. Works best if you are just using plain tap water with no cleaning solution. Using your technique, which is a great one, after the clear water cleaning, the drying is very fast due to the heat and the cleaning and extraction is better with the heat. You don't want to go to a full boil (100C) on the extraction water, but you can get it quite a bit hotter than tap water.
Both of these units have very useful purposes in detailing. I have both style's, but honestly I tend to lean towards using the Bissell far more often due to it's portable size and decent performance, especially on well maintained vehicles that you are just looking to do a once or twice per year maintenance cleaning. One really cool unit I have been lately was the model put out by Larry over @ AMMO NYC. His unit is a specifically designed unit that took the best of a steamer and the best of an extractor and combined them. STEAM helps fabric cleaning tremendously. I would say it close to doubles your performance than without steam. Of course you just need to be mindful using steam on certain interior parts (especially painted buttons) but as long as the material you are cleaning is fabric, steam isn't going to degrade the fabric if using the steamer as directed. The ultimate would probably be a Tornador also integrated into the mix combining an extractor, steamer, AND the Tornador head. Tornador does make a vacuum hose attachment (I think in their black series). The Tornador head (Pan has other videos on that series of tool) can be integrated into your extractor/steamer making the ultimate detailing interior cleaning tool.
Thank you, Floor mats I would always lightly pressure wash by hanging them up until the water runs fairly clean. I might spray some solution in lightly and brush them but generally there’s just too much dirt in there there too. Spend time with the Extractor until the very end 40 years experience.
j'ai le Bissell et je m'en suis servi hier pour la première fois! Les vidéos dont la tienne me rassurent car j'avais vraiment l'impression qu'il ne faisait pas assez le job niveau puissance. C'est incroyable la crasse que l'on peut retiré sans qu'elle soit visible à l'oeil nu! Pour ma part j'ai utilisé mon APC Bilt Hamber Surfex HD en vaporisateur et de la lessive liquide dans l'injecteur pour la 2ème passe
This is an excellent overview on what these two machines are capable of. Thank you for your insights Pan! I've used a Bissell for a few years now, but I've been thinking on making the switch some something with a little more juice. I think the Mytee is the way to go, but as you said, Detail Geek and others including myself are doing insane transformations using a budget conscious Bissell unit and it works! A lot of this business is technique and having the right tools to save time (make more money) so I think the Mytee will do just that for me.
I have the Bissell spot pro. Using it takes a lot of work and time on very dirty seats and carpet. I spent 3 hours just getting the cushions on 1 seat clean. Clean is when nothing but clear water being extracted. A pro unit would be much better for large filth jobs. It can be done on the smaller bissell, but to get the job done fast, get the right equipment for the job. The name spot pro is mostly for lighter jobs where the vehice is mostly taken care of. I have the MC1275 steam cleaning machine. Does a great job of paneling and frame of Engine cleaning. I use purple power on really dirty engines and carpeting that has grease and oil on the enterior 1 oz Thanks Pan great review.
Thanks for sharing! And yes for sure, commercial grade higher end units will always get the job done quicker if someone can splurge to get one, they will be happy.
I literally just used my Bissell to clean my puppy’s bed after he went potty in it (still working on training). Spotpro has been my friend since I got my pup
Not sure if you guys over there have it, but Bissell in Australia has heatwave units, it wont heat the water, but keeps the hot water hot when cleaning. Makes life so much easier.
Hi Pan, I bought the Bissell Spot Pro to use for my vehicle but also for inside the house (rugs, sofa arms, stairs etc). As you said the price for us weekend warriors is not to be looked down upon, it's a great little machine, does everything I want it to do for the limited times I use it. I haven't regretted buying it, I saw it as an investment to my small detailing collection. I have to say it was nice to see you included the UK in the description for the links to get things you used, it's sometimes hard to get or find the equivalent products you have in Canada or the USA. I was fantastic to hear you on your guest appearance on the Specky & Paul detailing podcast, I thought it was great you took the time to speak to two great UK detailers and fellow UA-cam'rs.
Thanks for sharing Paul. And yeah it was a pleasure hanging out with Specky & Paul on their podcast. Two great guys and we had so much fun recording it! Hopefully we do another one in the future. :)
One tip with hot water extraction is to also “prime” with the hot water first back into the tank so that you get that 180-210 deg water from the beginning.
I am only a weekend warrior, I got the Bissell and for me it does a fantastic job. I actually like the smaller head to get in the tighter spots. And once I got my carpets and mats clean I really don't need some high powered machine.
My mom had a Bissell carpet cleaner and the floor part stopped working but the hand held tool still works fine so she gave it to me. So it basically works like the Spot Clean Pro, but it has a heater. The only downside is it's larger than most stand up household vacuum cleaners so it's a bit more bulky than either of these units, but for free with a water heater, I can't complain. Although if I do start doing detailing full time the Mytee Lyte would be a good investment for the sake of speed as my Bissell definitely takes a bit of time to get stuff out of carpets.
I cleaned out my F150 that was a contractor truck for the last 14 years, And our little Bissell had so much black in the tank after 1 pass that I did 11 more... until it was only the color of coffee with a splash of creamer. I have now bought new seats.
I have the Bissel spot clean professional, bought it on special at 25% off last year from their Canadian site and all I can say is it’s an amazing product for a home detailer/weekend warrior! You can even use it in the house on area rugs and couches! I find the cleaning product that Bissell makes leaves carpets feeing more plush as well. Good video Pan!

@@PanTheOrganizer actually subscribed to your channel years ago before buying my 2018 golf R brand new and I’m also from Montreal! Your channel along with a few others helped me to establish my first detail/ceramic coating prep products and equipment on my new car. Ever since then I’ve enjoyed detailing both my golf (which still looks brand new after 5 years ownership) and wife’s Q5…in fact the dealer you bought your Porsche from is right beside the dealer we bought our Audi from and was funny to see that familiar area in your reveal video!
I have the 2nd gen Mytee 8070 and it's been an absolute unit for me. Owned it for 4 years or so now and, while I don't do detailing jobs as regularly as I used to, it's an awesome machine when needed. I've used it around the house a few times for spills etc, but it is pretty overkill for that purpose and there are better machines for larger spaces.
Excellent video. I have the Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro. I use a combination of P&S Carpet Bomber and ONR in a pump sprayer, then use my McCulloch steamer the extract with hot water in the solution tank. I got ten years of heavy use from my first Bissell extractor, which is why I bought the unit I have now.
I use a professional steamer that can also be used for extraction with either hot water or steam, just connect any size wet / dry vac. I use professional carpet cleaning products, mix, spray, agitate then extract with water. I use Saiger's Sauce 1 pre-spray.
The Bissel Spotclean was a great investment. Mine is a different model I believe, but it was $110 or so and it works great. I purchased it more to clean up pet messes on my carpet but it worked good on my upholstery too.
Great video and explanation of both worlds of extractors. I was a detailer in a dealership for 40 years doing the trade-ins. Those cars like the detail geek gets were common.you would be surprised at what you get accustomed to,lol !
Interesting video. Brushing the lines into the mats at the end is a nice touch. Like others have commented, I shouted at the screen when you didn’t empty the Mytee into a separate container….Lol. Emptying the Mytee looked slightly awkward - I.e. having to tip the machine.
Great video ! Both have their place in professional detailing. I use the little guy primarily for a quick shampoo on some floor mats, otherwise I reach for the homemade- rigid cold water setup 😃 sometimes doing things on a strict budget is the only way
thanks for making this video. I have always used the carpet extractors that work for home but that also have the hose and attachments so that you can do vehicles. A couple months ago I purchased one of the Bissell SpotClean units and so far very happy with it. Carpets seem to dry pretty quickly with it.
The Bissell is probably 85% as good as the mighty. Really freaking impressive when you consider not just the price and size, but the convenience. For anyone who is not purchasing it for professional use, the Bissell is definitely the one to get. For some people who are using it professionally but only once a month or so or less, the Bissell actually might make more sense despite its shortcomings, yes, it's a little bit more work to emptied out more often, but the price is really good.

I detailed ah old custom van I used ah brand new Bissell and some clorax 2 the lady gave 900 cash dollars it took 11hrs to clean it then drove it from Dallas to Waco it was honestly clean
I've owned a MyTee for the last 5 years and it constantly has problems and it's too heavy to lift in and out of my vehicle along with the many boat cabins I put it in as they're up on land when I do them. I'm going to replace it with the MyTee S300-H as it's much smaller and lighter. Only downside will be the water capacity. I had a Rug Doctor spot cleaner for a while and it proved to be more reliable than my 8070. It was much easier to transport as well. The MyTee S300-H looks like it's the best of both.

For $1300 the Mytee should come with an extension wand so it can be used on household carpets. The Bissell works great, I wish they made it easier to replace the hose, you have tear it down quite a bit to replace the $50 hose it’s less troublesome to just buy a new one.
I’m not a dealer but I do like keeping my vehicles looking as new as possible. I’m in the trades so my truck get dirty. I’ve gone through several bissel units. I use boiling water in them knowing that it will break the machine down faster but I’m ok with it. The amount of productivity the boiling water yields was undeniable. I had a customer get in over their head on a project and gave me their truck as part of the payment they owed me. I bought a bissel because the truck had never been cleaned in 12 years. I spent some 9 hrs with that bissel cleaning the truck. The water/cleaning solution I pulled out looked like espresso. They were smokers and they had a greasy dog. I took on the challenge and won. But all that time I spent steam cleaning I wondered how much time I would have saved using a commercial unit like this. I now only run rubber floors in my trucks and have seat covers like Duluth or carhart canvas type stuff.
stop using it in the extractor why, i use boiling water for pre cleaning wait a few minits and then use the extractor, my bissel is over 5 years old and still going strong. just use hot water first and then the extractor same result less money spending
I could have, but that is over a 25 year period. Most of them worked when I put them away and didn’t work when I went to use them 5 years later. They don’t store well for whatever reason. To me, at that little price they are expendable. I would jump on getting a used commercial unit that was in good condition though. I don’t really need one like I did when I was younger and my kid was smaller. I got a lot of use out of one of them when my kid was little, that thing was in action all the time.
Great comparison Pan. As I have mentioned before I am starting my detail business an d have been researching carpet/upholstery extractors. This video came at a great time as I have been trying to make up my mind which way to go. I will be going with the Bissell as I don’t do that many carpet and upholstery cleaning and leaving additional funds for a steam cleaner, tools, etc. once again, thanks again for all the help you provide for us. God bless!

As always great content and reviews! I’ve used the Bissell for the past three years and is great for being mobile. I have used the hot water in the tank like you said . Only issue I have had with it was the hose breaking. I was able to return it to the store and get a new one at no cost. Thanks Pan!!!
Just a DIY enthusias, The big one. I rent it for a day to clean my carpets and then the car also goving to have a makeover ( I can rent it for 4 hours or a hole day ) inch cleaning solution for carpets. It works for me
But that's not practical if you like cleaning your car often (as most of my viewers do). Going out and paying each time to rent a piece of equipment, and the wasted time coming and going to the store, etc. You can buy an inexpensive entry level carpet extractor like the Bissell and be more efficient time wise and money wise over many years. And if you're a detailing professional, then renting is not an option. Just buy one.
Pan, thanks for another informative video. Wish this video came out 3 weeks ago. I see now that I purchased the wrong Bissell model. Hopefully I can exchange it for the correct model. Keep up the great work!
As a weekend warrior my only issue with the Bissell is the tanks . Run out of water very quickly and the dirty water tank fills to quickly. They clean nicely . I've just purchased a Karcher and love it ...but same issue as the Bissell...need to fill the water tank twice to do a full clean on a car . Another issue I have come across is the cleaning detergents. Some of them like the Bissell may foam to much causing your vacuum to either switch off or foam out the sides
Make your own hot water extractor... there are many videos how to make your own cold water extractor using a ridged vacuum cleaner.... I have an outdoor stove hooked up to propane... I found a 24 quart cheap out of a garage sale... I welded and threaded a garden hose size pipe to the bottom of the stock pot... I purchased a cheap water pump that's 115v ... and hot water garden hose and carpet extractor wand... you can literally make a nice hot water carpet cleaner for under $300

I know all of those guys. They do good work on super dirty cars. That's not what my channel focuses on though. Here it's more about detailing tutorials, equipment & products reviews.
Hey Pan, I'm glad I watched your video. I've been planning on investing in an extractor, but I didn't know exactly the difference between the different machines in the market. By the way, I was sold at exactly 2:03 in the video 😊
For cars I would go for the Bissell for car cleaning, for upholstery, carpet and pretty much everything else I would use a more professional and powerful extractor.

Yay Pan! Almost 800K subs. I have been waiting for this video for years. ( I've been with you since the beginning) Thanks for clarifying my suspicions. I'm ready for the big investment. Not really happy with my Bissell.

@@PanTheOrganizer Correction Pan: It shows how many people enjoy YOU, and how you make detailing something special. There are plenty detailing channels out there, but pale in charismatic presentation compared to yours. NEVER change!
I owned a professionell extraktor and a spot clean pro, so i can say the scp is valid for private home use, but the parts break easy and are not compareable to a ruggedized extraktor. Also suction is ok for private use, but no more
This video is perfect timing as was just researching Bissell and thinking of options! I love your channel Pan it’s taught me so much as a newbie weekend warrior in the UK. Two questions if I may: 1. if you’ve already sprayed and agitated cleaner into the mat can’t you simply do a plain water extraction without another product in the unit itself? 2. Would you recommend firmer bristle drill brush for heavily soil carpets rather than the light ones you were using? Thanks Pan!
Thanks for the positive feedback! 1. Yes you can. If the mats are super dirt though, or you want them to smell good, having the extractor shampoo is great. 2. You wouldn’t want to damage the fibers so I would do multiple passes of a softer brush. If you want to use a stiffer brush attachment, make sure you test on an inconspicuous area first.

@@PanTheOrganizer i’ve been following your channel for a while now. I think I was looking for some good car detailing video’s and found yours! Greetings from The Netherlands.
Thanks Pan. I just picked up the Bissell for my wife’s fabric interior seats and our new carpets in the house. I have WeatherTech mats in our cars so we don’t really need to use it there. Would be great if you could do a video on how to use the Bissell with fabric seats. My main concern is not saturating the seats too much for possible mold.

I just recently bought the 8070. Have both units now, but keep running back to the bissel as a backup. The Mytee has done 4 cars and have already started running into problems... Had to replace a check valve after the 3rd car, now after the 4th car nearly the entirety of my solution tank has leaked out on the floor. Leaving me to believe the pump is now bad! Why am I running into so many issues with this already!! I thought these were supposed to be the best in the business!!
Did you try reaching out to the brand? I never heard complaints from fellow detailers that use this machine in their business. Perhaps contact the place where you bought it from. These things come with stout warranties for situations like yours.
Once Mitch over at Detail Geek got his dedicated shop he promptly broke up with his Bissell and got a Mytee....looks like an HP60. I hear it was an amicable break because...you know....Canadians are friendly.
LOL Yeah he makes crazy disaster car washes so it makes total sense for him to get a professional extractor. I couldn't believe he was using the Bissell for all those years. Not really meant for commercial type use on a daily basis. You get what you pay for.
A top tier PTO video, as expected! It's nice that the option of a "low cost vs high cost" is given. Everyone wins! I like that high and one! It looks cool! Certainly does a fine job. I've yet to use My drill brush kit... one day! Lol! I haven't cleaned cars in about three weeks. Just don't feel like it. I've always used a Bissel SC from the 90's. It works well and is fairly portable. Again, I have carpet bomber and the other two... still sealed, never used. I'm weird like that! 😆 Thanks for always being thorough, patient and professional, Pan. Please enjoy the weekend. Summer is winding down, sadly.
I always see that the carpet and mats take lot of efforts in cleaning in all the detailing videos. Further they need lots of detailing hardware and chemicals too. Isn't is more better to completely replace the carpets and mats with new OEM products once the car comes for the detailing work. It will simply save a lot of time and effort. Like the detalers can offer vacuum for first 2 jobs and on 3rd job they change the complete set of mats and carpets with new one.
Great video! I have the Bissell and it works good for me. I've wanted the Mytee for awhile but the power it draws wouldn't work for me at this time. Thanks for sharing this video, very helpful 👍!
Without having seen the entire video yet just wondering what the difference is between a steamer and an extractor. If you could only choose one for car detailing or perhaps even home carpet cleaning which one would you choose?
A steam cleaner just shoots steam. Meant more for disinfecting and sanitizing surfaces. You could get away with steam cleaning a carpet and mopping up with microfiber towels, as many do, but you would never achieve the same level of deep cleaning in upholstery and carpets as you would with a proper extractor. The carpet extractor shoots hot water (or even better, a hot cleaning solution) deep in the fibers, wetting them and helping to dissolve the deep dirt and grime, and sucks it all back up thanks to the exctraction/vacuum power. You can't guarantee that you picked all of the cleaner up with just the steam cleaner, so if there is still some left deep in the fibers, it could start to brown the carpet or fabric, or reactivate the dirt the next time it gets wet. If you only have a limited budget, instead of buying one expensive version of one of the tools, get two more budget friendly units. So instead of spending 500$ on an extractor, you could buy a 200$ carpet extractor and 250$ steam cleaner, and you get both tools for different jobs. :)
Does this same concept work for seats and carpets? I’m assuming do carpets first, then floor mats so the carpets can dry? Any considerations when doing an extraction in cooler weather.

Hi Pan!
Great videos to watch once again! Enjoying your channel :)
Maybe a question/suggestion..
Today I did a spotrepair on a foodtruck. Doing it on the spot with my mobile-setup, which wasn't easy outside, but got alot of attention ofcourse. I do sometimes use a tent aswell if possible.
But it might just be a nice idea, although many 'beginners or enthousiasts' can be anxious about doing things like that, we're all in it for the learningcurve in cardetailing.
And I actually noticed, you didn't really have a video about spotrepairkits, sprayfillers and putty's or fe. spraycans vs sprayguns vs touchup-pens or even the oldschool-ways of using needles/syringes or even toothpicks and denibbing-tools . It might be an interesting thing for you to do videos about that aspect in detailing and touching up scratches :)
What methods, kits available, from beginners to expert-knowledge etc...many things for the community to enjoy :)
I have a Bissell unit. I use it on my car. I run hot tap water through the unit and I use P&S products. Terminator and Carper Bomber. Great products. If you are an enthusiast, this combo won’t disappoint you. I know as an enthusiast, I keep my vehicle on a regular maintenance schedule, so built up dirt will never be a problem. But for pro’s, no doubt, the Mytee unit is the way to go. Great video Pan. Maybe if I win the lottery I can upgrade. 😂😂Till the next one.
Yeah Carpet Bomber is so good!!
I used the bissel for a long time and really liked it. It got the job done, maybe not as fast, but I never had an issue getting a stain out of car seats. Used it for like 3 years or so
Great video I was wanting to extract carpets but didn't have a lot to spend on a carpet extractor and for roughly 40 dollars in parts and a shopvac I already had I turned my shopvac into a carpet extractor and it works as well as I could want for what I'm doing
My Bissell is FOUR YEARS OLD! Like many viewers, I’m thinking of the Mighty Mite after my Bissell bites the dust. STRANGE TIP: My auto detailing vendor said if you don’t use Bissell’s carpet shampoo, add about a tablespoon of Downey Fabric softener down the hose, otherwise, the Bissell machine will overdose on suds. Thanks again for ANOTHER great video!
Thanks Keith!
I LOVE my Bissell - I had the large Bissell upright carpet cleaner and for what I used it for, spot cleaning, it was overkill. I got the little one and it is so easy to use, clean and put away!
Thanks for sharing!
I love my Bissell SpotClean Pro. My business is vinyl installation, but I do paint correction and exterior detailing/decontamination during the installation process when necessary. I do quick interior once-overs in cars as a courtesy, so the Bissell is perfect for my needs and does a fantastic job making floor mats look new.
Thanks for sharing!
Nice to see the Bissell get some love! Obviously the Mighty is the superior machine, but the Bissell offers a great value and has good performance for what it is. As always, great video!
Thanks Josh!
Bissell actually is good enough for most, and if used properly it won't brake at all, like many claim...just be aware of the home-use intention and be carefull with putting pressure on the head.
I actually love mine, especially since I'm working out of a small hatchback. The bissell fits my needs perfectly tbh ;-)
I've been wanting the Mytee 3080 for a while. I use the Bissell, to step it up I use my Tornador fun to loosen dirt then extract.
I love my Bissel Spot Clean Pro! I use it for almost 5 years now. After 5 years the hose ripped, i replaced it myself for 30 euro's. I reccomend not winding up the hose too tight like I did :)
Great video as always!
Thanks for sharing!
Pan you did an awesome job explaining some of the differences between these two machines. Growing up in carpet mills in Northwest Georgia I have seen a lot of carpet. Basically if you are doing two or more interiors a week get the Mytee. This machine is built for hard work and offers more lift which will save time not having to make extra passes. The downside is more maintenance is required on the Mytee. The Bissell will clean very well but it just takes more time. The upside is the smaller head fits in tight spaces better and the maintenance is much easier. When your the one backing the warranty on carpet hot water extraction is the top tier level of cleaning.
Thank you for another well thought out video Pan.
Thanks Neil, much appreciated feedback from a person with real world carpet experience!
Every cleaning unit works great with lots of elbow grease. I've used a little green clean machine for the traffic patterns in a living room years ago. Took 3 hours and killed my body but it did okay. Definitely prefer a truckmount machine. I can do a living room in 15 minutes.
Bought the Bissel a couple of days before seeing this video and I’m so glad I did. I always stayed away from cleaning carpet for customers because I didn’t want to spend the money on the high dollar units. Had a customer call for just a carpet clean so I was forced to purchase one. Went to the local target and bought the same unit you used in this video. Fantastic job, customer was over the moon happy!! Thanks for backing up my purchase!
Cool! Yeah for light duty cleaning, especially if you don't clean carpets as part of a detailing business on a daily basis, a small spotter like the Bissell can still do a very good job, especially considering it won't break the bank. ;)
I bought a Bissel for my home detailing operation and I'm impressed..small but mighty.
I just wish the hose was a little longer for better maneuverability of the unit.
Un autre banger panner..
Thanks for sharing
The hose is the only reason it’s necessary to upgrade to a larger unit
a couple things i would mention on these cleaners, i have used the little bissell spot cleaners since the late 90's i think it was called the little green machine or something, the thing i like most about them vs the mytee is the small handle, definitely more maneuverable in an automotive setting as far as getting around seat mounts and up towards the dash floor board area and up the sides of the door edge ect., i like to fill mine with hot water and no solution, then i use a pump sprayer with lite solution scrub with brush then extract, following with water only extraction to remove all solution out of carpets so there is chance of residue because that is the #1 cause of attracting new stains. but i am sort of ocd when it comes to left over residue on any surfaces lol it drives me nuts when i can feel or smell left over cleaner, plus that way it doesn't interfere with your chosen air freshener. just my opinion. love your videos pan !!!
One other little tip. The Bissell uses polycarbonate tanks. Since the tank is small, you can fill it with hot tap water and then put the whole tank in the microwave and heat it up to ~80 C or so. Works best if you are just using plain tap water with no cleaning solution. Using your technique, which is a great one, after the clear water cleaning, the drying is very fast due to the heat and the cleaning and extraction is better with the heat. You don't want to go to a full boil (100C) on the extraction water, but you can get it quite a bit hotter than tap water.
Both of these units have very useful purposes in detailing. I have both style's, but honestly I tend to lean towards using the Bissell far more often due to it's portable size and decent performance, especially on well maintained vehicles that you are just looking to do a once or twice per year maintenance cleaning. One really cool unit I have been lately was the model put out by Larry over @ AMMO NYC. His unit is a specifically designed unit that took the best of a steamer and the best of an extractor and combined them. STEAM helps fabric cleaning tremendously. I would say it close to doubles your performance than without steam. Of course you just need to be mindful using steam on certain interior parts (especially painted buttons) but as long as the material you are cleaning is fabric, steam isn't going to degrade the fabric if using the steamer as directed. The ultimate would probably be a Tornador also integrated into the mix combining an extractor, steamer, AND the Tornador head. Tornador does make a vacuum hose attachment (I think in their black series). The Tornador head (Pan has other videos on that series of tool) can be integrated into your extractor/steamer making the ultimate detailing interior cleaning tool.
I just got an S300H. It came in this week. It definitely feels heavy duty. I can’t wait to try it out this weekend.
Congrats! Sweet machine.
Thank you,
Floor mats I would always lightly pressure wash by hanging them up until the water runs fairly clean. I might spray some solution in lightly and brush them but generally there’s just too much dirt in there there too. Spend time with the Extractor until the very end 40 years experience.
j'ai le Bissell et je m'en suis servi hier pour la première fois! Les vidéos dont la tienne me rassurent car j'avais vraiment l'impression qu'il ne faisait pas assez le job niveau puissance. C'est incroyable la crasse que l'on peut retiré sans qu'elle soit visible à l'oeil nu! Pour ma part j'ai utilisé mon APC Bilt Hamber Surfex HD en vaporisateur et de la lessive liquide dans l'injecteur pour la 2ème passe
This is an excellent overview on what these two machines are capable of. Thank you for your insights Pan! I've used a Bissell for a few years now, but I've been thinking on making the switch some something with a little more juice. I think the Mytee is the way to go, but as you said, Detail Geek and others including myself are doing insane transformations using a budget conscious Bissell unit and it works! A lot of this business is technique and having the right tools to save time (make more money) so I think the Mytee will do just that for me.
I agree. Well said.
Great job, Pan! I remember the old school days where I’d take foaming carpet cleaner, scrub it with a brush, then shop vac it up. Technology is crazy.
Thanks Chuck!
I use a defoaming agent in the dump tank for foam. Been doing it for 40 years.. works!
I have the Bissell spot pro. Using it takes a lot of work and time on very dirty seats and carpet. I spent 3 hours just getting the cushions on 1 seat clean. Clean is when nothing but clear water being extracted. A pro unit would be much better for large filth jobs. It can be done on the smaller bissell, but to get the job done fast, get the right equipment for the job.
The name spot pro is mostly for lighter jobs where the vehice is mostly taken care of. I have the MC1275 steam cleaning machine. Does a great job of paneling and frame of Engine cleaning. I use purple power on really dirty engines and carpeting that has grease and oil on the enterior 1 oz Thanks Pan great review.
Thanks for sharing! And yes for sure, commercial grade higher end units will always get the job done quicker if someone can splurge to get one, they will be happy.
I’m so glad that you did a comparison of the two. Well done!
Thanks!
I literally just used my Bissell to clean my puppy’s bed after he went potty in it (still working on training). Spotpro has been my friend since I got my pup
Not sure if you guys over there have it, but Bissell in Australia has heatwave units, it wont heat the water, but keeps the hot water hot when cleaning. Makes life so much easier.
Hi Pan, I bought the Bissell Spot Pro to use for my vehicle but also for inside the house (rugs, sofa arms, stairs etc). As you said the price for us weekend warriors is not to be looked down upon, it's a great little machine, does everything I want it to do for the limited times I use it. I haven't regretted buying it, I saw it as an investment to my small detailing collection. I have to say it was nice to see you included the UK in the description for the links to get things you used, it's sometimes hard to get or find the equivalent products you have in Canada or the USA.
I was fantastic to hear you on your guest appearance on the Specky & Paul detailing podcast, I thought it was great you took the time to speak to two great UK detailers and fellow UA-cam'rs.
Thanks for sharing Paul. And yeah it was a pleasure hanging out with Specky & Paul on their podcast. Two great guys and we had so much fun recording it! Hopefully we do another one in the future. :)
@@PanTheOrganizer Hell yeh, as the guys said...Christmas Special...
😂
One tip with hot water extraction is to also “prime” with the hot water first back into the tank so that you get that 180-210 deg water from the beginning.
Kinda tough to get hot water whn you do mobile work
22:28
I've been using the Bissell pro for many years and it works great! Thanks for the video.
You bet!
I am only a weekend warrior, I got the Bissell and for me it does a fantastic job. I actually like the smaller head to get in the tighter spots. And once I got my carpets and mats clean I really don't need some high powered machine.
Thanks for sharing
My mom had a Bissell carpet cleaner and the floor part stopped working but the hand held tool still works fine so she gave it to me. So it basically works like the Spot Clean Pro, but it has a heater. The only downside is it's larger than most stand up household vacuum cleaners so it's a bit more bulky than either of these units, but for free with a water heater, I can't complain. Although if I do start doing detailing full time the Mytee Lyte would be a good investment for the sake of speed as my Bissell definitely takes a bit of time to get stuff out of carpets.
I cleaned out my F150 that was a contractor truck for the last 14 years, And our little Bissell had so much black in the tank after 1 pass that I did 11 more... until it was only the color of coffee with a splash of creamer.
I have now bought new seats.
i'm not a professional detailer, just a hobbyish and im looking for this exact thing as well as a vacuum for my car. thanks for uploading this video
Glad I could help
I have the Bissel spot clean professional, bought it on special at 25% off last year from their Canadian site and all I can say is it’s an amazing product for a home detailer/weekend warrior! You can even use it in the house on area rugs and couches! I find the cleaning product that Bissell makes leaves carpets feeing more plush as well. Good video Pan!

@@PanTheOrganizer actually subscribed to your channel years ago before buying my 2018 golf R brand new and I’m also from Montreal! Your channel along with a few others helped me to establish my first detail/ceramic coating prep products and equipment on my new car. Ever since then I’ve enjoyed detailing both my golf (which still looks brand new after 5 years ownership) and wife’s Q5…in fact the dealer you bought your Porsche from is right beside the dealer we bought our Audi from and was funny to see that familiar area in your reveal video!
I have the 2nd gen Mytee 8070 and it's been an absolute unit for me. Owned it for 4 years or so now and, while I don't do detailing jobs as regularly as I used to, it's an awesome machine when needed.
I've used it around the house a few times for spills etc, but it is pretty overkill for that purpose and there are better machines for larger spaces.
I have the exact Bissell SpotClean Pro and it's absolutely great! very recommended...
Thanks for sharing Yarin!
Excellent video. I have the Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro. I use a combination of P&S Carpet Bomber and ONR in a pump sprayer, then use my McCulloch steamer the extract with hot water in the solution tank. I got ten years of heavy use from my first Bissell extractor, which is why I bought the unit I have now.
Thanks Ron!
Does that mean It is safe to use other products in the Bissell apart from their own branded ones ?
I use a professional steamer that can also be used for extraction with either hot water or steam, just connect any size wet / dry vac. I use professional carpet cleaning products, mix, spray, agitate then extract with water. I use Saiger's Sauce 1 pre-spray.
The Bissel Spotclean was a great investment. Mine is a different model I believe, but it was $110 or so and it works great. I purchased it more to clean up pet messes on my carpet but it worked good on my upholstery too.
Thanks for sharing!
Been using the Bissel since I started has done very well
Great video and explanation of both worlds of extractors.
I was a detailer in a dealership for 40 years doing the trade-ins.
Those cars like the detail geek gets were common.you would be surprised at what you get accustomed to,lol !
Hehehe yeah it will always surprise me at the filth level some people are willing to let their vehicle reach!!
Kitchen cleaning always makes people laborious. Prettycare vacuum cleaner helps me a lot in my cleaning job.
Interesting video. Brushing the lines into the mats at the end is a nice touch. Like others have commented, I shouted at the screen when you didn’t empty the Mytee into a separate container….Lol. Emptying the Mytee looked slightly awkward - I.e. having to tip the machine.
I owned a Bissell and it does a great job extracting but does require multiple pass as Stated. Used to clean my sofa 🛋 the other day
Thanks for sharing!
Great video ! Both have their place in professional detailing. I use the little guy primarily for a quick shampoo on some floor mats, otherwise I reach for the homemade- rigid cold water setup 😃 sometimes doing things on a strict budget is the only way
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for making this video. I have always used the carpet extractors that work for home but that also have the hose and attachments so that you can do vehicles. A couple months ago I purchased one of the Bissell SpotClean units and so far very happy with it. Carpets seem to dry pretty quickly with it.
Thanks for sharing
As usual, the best solution for the majority of people seats between the two.
Not quite this time. If you read the comments, you’ll see that the majority actually own and like their Bissell.
I've been working with spot clean pro and so far it's been doing well,when i have a volume of work that is justified i will opt for karcher puzzi...
The Bissell is probably 85% as good as the mighty. Really freaking impressive when you consider not just the price and size, but the convenience. For anyone who is not purchasing it for professional use, the Bissell is definitely the one to get. For some people who are using it professionally but only once a month or so or less, the Bissell actually might make more sense despite its shortcomings, yes, it's a little bit more work to emptied out more often, but the price is really good.

Great comparison. I currently use the Bissell, but I eventually want to upgrade to the Mytee. Filling the Bissell 4-5 times per detail gets tedious.
Thanks!
I detailed ah old custom van I used ah brand new Bissell and some clorax 2 the lady gave 900 cash dollars it took 11hrs to clean it then drove it from Dallas to Waco it was honestly clean
I've owned a MyTee for the last 5 years and it constantly has problems and it's too heavy to lift in and out of my vehicle along with the many boat cabins I put it in as they're up on land when I do them. I'm going to replace it with the MyTee S300-H as it's much smaller and lighter. Only downside will be the water capacity. I had a Rug Doctor spot cleaner for a while and it proved to be more reliable than my 8070. It was much easier to transport as well. The MyTee S300-H looks like it's the best of both.

I've learned 2 use steamer and drill brushes 2 avoid saturation and mold issues. Humidity here in NY extractor is last resort
For $1300 the Mytee should come with an extension wand so it can be used on household carpets. The Bissell works great, I wish they made it easier to replace the hose, you have tear it down quite a bit to replace the $50 hose it’s less troublesome to just buy a new one.
I’m not a dealer but I do like keeping my vehicles looking as new as possible. I’m in the trades so my truck get dirty. I’ve gone through several bissel units. I use boiling water in them knowing that it will break the machine down faster but I’m ok with it. The amount of productivity the boiling water yields was undeniable. I had a customer get in over their head on a project and gave me their truck as part of the payment they owed me. I bought a bissel because the truck had never been cleaned in 12 years. I spent some 9 hrs with that bissel cleaning the truck. The water/cleaning solution I pulled out looked like espresso. They were smokers and they had a greasy dog. I took on the challenge and won. But all that time I spent steam cleaning I wondered how much time I would have saved using a commercial unit like this. I now only run rubber floors in my trucks and have seat covers like Duluth or carhart canvas type stuff.
Just think, in all thr money you spent on those Bissell machines you could've invested in a much nicer extractor
stop using it in the extractor why, i use boiling water for pre cleaning wait a few minits and then use the extractor, my bissel is over 5 years old and still going strong. just use hot water first and then the extractor same result less money spending
I could have, but that is over a 25 year period. Most of them worked when I put them away and didn’t work when I went to use them 5 years later. They don’t store well for whatever reason. To me, at that little price they are expendable. I would jump on getting a used commercial unit that was in good condition though. I don’t really need one like I did when I was younger and my kid was smaller. I got a lot of use out of one of them when my kid was little, that thing was in action all the time.

Great comparison Pan. As I have mentioned before I am starting my detail business an d have been researching carpet/upholstery extractors. This video came at a great time as I have been trying to make up my mind which way to go. I will be going with the Bissell as I don’t do that many carpet and upholstery cleaning and leaving additional funds for a steam cleaner, tools, etc. once again, thanks again for all the help you provide for us. God bless!
Thanks Juan! I appreciate the feedback and have a happy new year!
Thank you sir and may the new year bring you and your loved ones health, provision, grow your business, new endeavors, love and peace!
Thank you for this video Pan! I have a step below the bissell pro and basically as long as you keep them clean they'll run forever
Thanks!
@@PanTheOrganizer if I may ask. I see you have carpet bomber what is the difference with this and the terminator?
I have a Thermax CP-5. It heats to 180 deg. Paid 1800 for it 25 years ago and I still have it.
Goes to show when you invest in quality equipment, it's a great return on investment over the years.
I follow both you and the Detail Geek. I got my vacuum cleaner(s) because of you and my Bissell because of him. Great vid.

As always great content and reviews! I’ve used the Bissell for the past three years and is great for being mobile. I have used the hot water in the tank like you said . Only issue I have had with it was the hose breaking. I was able to return it to the store and get a new one at no cost. Thanks Pan!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Great video Pan!! It would be cool to see the mighty 8070 go over the bissell to see how much dirt the bissell was unable to clean (if any)
Based on experience,the Mighty will completely outperform the little bissel
Just a DIY enthusias, The big one. I rent it for a day to clean my carpets and then the car also goving to have a makeover ( I can rent it for 4 hours or a hole day ) inch cleaning solution for carpets. It works for me
But that's not practical if you like cleaning your car often (as most of my viewers do). Going out and paying each time to rent a piece of equipment, and the wasted time coming and going to the store, etc. You can buy an inexpensive entry level carpet extractor like the Bissell and be more efficient time wise and money wise over many years.
And if you're a detailing professional, then renting is not an option. Just buy one.
Pan, thanks for another informative video. Wish this video came out 3 weeks ago. I see now that I purchased the wrong Bissell model. Hopefully I can exchange it for the correct model. Keep up the great work!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Pan, I was thinking about getting the Bissell for my cars. Perfect timing review.
Glad I could help!
As a weekend warrior my only issue with the Bissell is the tanks . Run out of water very quickly and the dirty water tank fills to quickly. They clean nicely . I've just purchased a Karcher and love it ...but same issue as the Bissell...need to fill the water tank twice to do a full clean on a car . Another issue I have come across is the cleaning detergents. Some of them like the Bissell may foam to much causing your vacuum to either switch off or foam out the sides
Make your own hot water extractor... there are many videos how to make your own cold water extractor using a ridged vacuum cleaner....
I have an outdoor stove hooked up to propane... I found a 24 quart cheap out of a garage sale... I welded and threaded a garden hose size pipe to the bottom of the stock pot... I purchased a cheap water pump that's 115v ... and hot water garden hose and carpet extractor wand... you can literally make a nice hot water carpet cleaner for under $300
Ask and it is delivered. Just thinking about this today and here you have it. Thank you great video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks Pan. Bissell makes great products with a great warranty.
Thanks for watching!
It’s so exhilarating to watch the dirty water/cleaner come out of the carpets! I’m def doing the stripes next time-a nice touch. Thx, Pan.
It really is!

Hey Pan, I'm glad I watched your video. I've been planning on investing in an extractor, but I didn't know exactly the difference between the different machines in the market.
By the way, I was sold at exactly 2:03 in the video 😊
Glad I could help
For cars I would go for the Bissell for car cleaning, for upholstery, carpet and pretty much everything else I would use a more professional and powerful extractor.
I really was waiting an extractor video from Pan¡

👍🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
I have the Bissell Little Green myself. Unfortunately it doesn’t have enough power (to me) and will be upgrading in the near future!
I owned a professionell extraktor and a spot clean pro, so i can say the scp is valid for private home use, but the parts break easy and are not compareable to a ruggedized extraktor. Also suction is ok for private use, but no more
This video is perfect timing as was just researching Bissell and thinking of options! I love your channel Pan it’s taught me so much as a newbie weekend warrior in the UK. Two questions if I may:
1. if you’ve already sprayed and agitated cleaner into the mat can’t you simply do a plain water extraction without another product in the unit itself?
2. Would you recommend firmer bristle drill brush for heavily soil carpets rather than the light ones you were using?
Thanks Pan!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
1. Yes you can. If the mats are super dirt though, or you want them to smell good, having the extractor shampoo is great.
2. You wouldn’t want to damage the fibers so I would do multiple passes of a softer brush. If you want to use a stiffer brush attachment, make sure you test on an inconspicuous area first.
I was thinking about one of these extractors to clean my cloth car seats!
Thank you for this great product overview! I’ve just ordered the Bissell!

@@PanTheOrganizer i’ve been following your channel for a while now. I think I was looking for some good car detailing video’s and found yours! Greetings from The Netherlands.
Thanks! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦!
Very informative - I have the Bissell and have been very pleased with the results
Thanks Robert!
Your videos are so flawless, thanks for the content and for your time.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thanks Pan. I just picked up the Bissell for my wife’s fabric interior seats and our new carpets in the house. I have WeatherTech mats in our cars so we don’t really need to use it there. Would be great if you could do a video on how to use the Bissell with fabric seats. My main concern is not saturating the seats too much for possible mold.

I just recently bought the 8070. Have both units now, but keep running back to the bissel as a backup. The Mytee has done 4 cars and have already started running into problems...
Had to replace a check valve after the 3rd car, now after the 4th car nearly the entirety of my solution tank has leaked out on the floor. Leaving me to believe the pump is now bad!
Why am I running into so many issues with this already!! I thought these were supposed to be the best in the business!!
Did you try reaching out to the brand? I never heard complaints from fellow detailers that use this machine in their business.
Perhaps contact the place where you bought it from. These things come with stout warranties for situations like yours.
Who knew Pan was really Bob Ross for carpets! 🎉
LOL !!
I have a bissell and I love it…. You did a great video
Thanks Larry!
Thanks for your explanation on those carpet extractors
My pleasure!
Once Mitch over at Detail Geek got his dedicated shop he promptly broke up with his Bissell and got a Mytee....looks like an HP60. I hear it was an amicable break because...you know....Canadians are friendly.
LOL Yeah he makes crazy disaster car washes so it makes total sense for him to get a professional extractor. I couldn't believe he was using the Bissell for all those years. Not really meant for commercial type use on a daily basis. You get what you pay for.
A top tier PTO video, as expected! It's nice that the option of a "low cost vs high cost" is given. Everyone wins!
I like that high and one! It looks cool! Certainly does a fine job. I've yet to use My drill brush kit... one day! Lol! I haven't cleaned cars in about three weeks. Just don't feel like it.
I've always used a Bissel SC from the 90's. It works well and is fairly portable. Again, I have carpet bomber and the other two... still sealed, never used. I'm weird like that! 😆 Thanks for always being thorough, patient and professional, Pan. Please enjoy the weekend. Summer is winding down, sadly.
Thanks Jay!! It's a hot and humid day here in Montreal (88F) so I'll be staying nice and cool indoors haha!
@@PanTheOrganizer It's 96*f here in Connecticut. I love Summer! Stay cool!
😱🔥
I always see that the carpet and mats take lot of efforts in cleaning in all the detailing videos. Further they need lots of detailing hardware and chemicals too.
Isn't is more better to completely replace the carpets and mats with new OEM products once the car comes for the detailing work. It will simply save a lot of time and effort.
Like the detalers can offer vacuum for first 2 jobs and on 3rd job they change the complete set of mats and carpets with new one.
Great video! I have the Bissell and it works good for me. I've wanted the Mytee for awhile but the power it draws wouldn't work for me at this time. Thanks for sharing this video, very helpful 👍!
Thanks man!!
Awesome video as usual ! I would love to see the cleaning capabilities of the mytee 8070 on a really dirty carpet ! Great work as always :D
Thanks Austin!
Without having seen the entire video yet just wondering what the difference is between a steamer and an extractor. If you could only choose one for car detailing or perhaps even home carpet cleaning which one would you choose?
A steam cleaner just shoots steam. Meant more for disinfecting and sanitizing surfaces. You could get away with steam cleaning a carpet and mopping up with microfiber towels, as many do, but you would never achieve the same level of deep cleaning in upholstery and carpets as you would with a proper extractor.
The carpet extractor shoots hot water (or even better, a hot cleaning solution) deep in the fibers, wetting them and helping to dissolve the deep dirt and grime, and sucks it all back up thanks to the exctraction/vacuum power. You can't guarantee that you picked all of the cleaner up with just the steam cleaner, so if there is still some left deep in the fibers, it could start to brown the carpet or fabric, or reactivate the dirt the next time it gets wet.
If you only have a limited budget, instead of buying one expensive version of one of the tools, get two more budget friendly units. So instead of spending 500$ on an extractor, you could buy a 200$ carpet extractor and 250$ steam cleaner, and you get both tools for different jobs. :)
@@PanTheOrganizer Awesome! Thank you.
👍🏻
I started with the small machines, which I needed to upgrade within a month.
Does this same concept work for seats and carpets? I’m assuming do carpets first, then floor mats so the carpets can dry?
Any considerations when doing an extraction in cooler weather.
