When I told my husband that I had been offered the chance to review the BISSELL SpotClean Portable Spot Cleaner to review, he joked that his Nan used to rave about BISSELL. Well now I have one, I can understand why!

The SpotClean is a portable machine that can be transported around the house to where it is needed. It is small enough to fit on the stairs and can even be taken outside with an extension reel to clean the car.

It requires a small amount of assembly to start, which is just attaching the clips for the nozzle and cable. In the box are the 2 trial sized stain cleaning products that you need to use for the machine, the Oxygen Boost and Spot & Stain 2x concentrate, so that you can get using the machine immediately.

I decided that I would start with my rather stained rug. The flash of the camera makes it look even worse than I had realised. I used the measuring levels on the first jug to add the required amount of water and cleaners.


I sprayed the stains and then used the brush to really get into them. Considering these are old stains I was amazed at the result.


Here is what came out. Eewww!


I have to say that this started a bit of an obsession. I have now gone over all the stains on the carpets upstairs and have completely done the stairs. The carpet here is pretty old and worn but it is amazing the difference that using the BISSELL has made. I also thought I would try our dining room chairs. Again I achieved great results with just one use.


As the BISSELL SpotClean is portable I thought I might give my car a treat.


The BISSEL SpotClean Portable Spot Cleaner has an rrp of £129.99,  which I think is good value. The Spot & Stain 2x concentrate is £8.99 and the Oxygen Boost is £9.99, however, they have a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment which again, makes it quite reasonable. After my initial clean of the house and car with it, I expect I will only use it as and when something gets spilt. It is small enough to store and simple enough to use that it will be easy to get out when accidents happen. Having read other reviews, it is meant to be particularly good with cat sick so may be worth considering if you have a pet.
