Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Spot Clean Professional 1558S.
- Empty and Rinse Dirty Water Tank: After each use, remove the dirty water tank and empty its contents. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry before reattaching.
- Clean Brushes and Hose: Detach the cleaning tool and rinse it under running water to remove any debris or residue. Ensure the nozzle is clear. You can also flush the hose with clean water by suctioning clean water from a sink.
- Wipe Down Unit: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth.
- Storage: Store the unit in a dry, protected area. Ensure both clean and dirty water tanks are empty and dry before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.

Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their solutions:
- Q: Are scratches or fine lines on the main body a defect?
- A: The BISSELL product body features a unique stone (marble) pattern, not actual scratches or cracks. This pattern is inherent to the design and is consistent across all units. It is not considered a defect.
- Q: Can I use other detergents besides BISSELL formula?
- A: It is strongly recommended to use only BISSELL cleaning formulas. The chemical composition of other detergents is not clearly known and may damage the product or surfaces. This product is designed to work optimally with BISSELL Oxygen Protect formula for superior stain removal.
- Q: How do I check the manufacturing date?
- A: The manufacturing date is indicated by a 5-digit number within the serial number. For example, "24107" would mean the 107th day of 2024.
