Cleaning?
How often your carpet will need to be cleaned using the hot water extraction method depends on how the carpet is used and cared for.
Carpet featuring Scotchgard™ protection should stay clean 2 – 3 times longer than similar untreated carpet; providing a better appearance with less cleaning. Hot water extraction cleaning is the preferred method because it leaves the least amount of detergent residue.
If you choose to do it yourself, we recommend the BISSELL® ProHeat™ Pro-Tech™ deep cleaning machine using the new BISSELL Deep Cleaning Formula with Scotchgard protection. And by applying a topical treatment of Scotchgard protector, you can revitalize mill-type protection to keep your carpets looking good longer.
We’d prefer that you DO NOT use wet shampoo equipment. Shampooing may not only leave behind a soapy residue that often masks the carpet’s protective finish, but it can attract and hold dirt.
Frequency of cleaning
How often you have your carpet cleaned depends on the amount and kind of use your carpet gets, and the quality of your day-to-day maintenance. In order to maintain your Scotchgard protection 5-year limited stain warranty, your carpet needs to be hot water extraction cleaned at least once every two years by a certified carpet cleaning professional. Now, you can deep clean and protect your carpet and satisfy the cleaning requirement of your warranty with the new BISSELL Deep Cleaning Formulas with Scotchgard protection. Use these formulas in a BISSELL ProHeat Pro-Tech deep cleaning machine, and you’ll protect your carpet and upholstery every time you deep clean.
Why hot water extraction?
This is the best method for deep cleaning most carpets. Hot water extraction cleaning requires the use of a machine that sprays cleaning solution into the carpet pile. The cleaning solution attacks the soil and greasy build-up on the carpet fibers. A powerful vacuum then extracts the solution almost immediately.
For optimal protection, we recommend that Scotchgard protector be reapplied after every hot water extraction cleaning. If you use a professional cleaner, be sure its reputable professional cleaner.
