The BISSELL Professional Stain & Odor Remover comes in a convenient spray bottle, designed for easy application. The formula is clear and unscented, making it suitable for various carpet types and upholstery. The bottle features a durable spray trigger for consistent coverage.
4. Setup
- Preparation: Before applying, test a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet or upholstery for colorfastness. Allow the tested area to dry completely and check for any discoloration or damage.
- Shake Well: Shake the bottle gently before each use to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
- Remove Solids: For solid or semi-solid messes, carefully remove as much of the excess material as possible before applying the cleaner.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective stain and odor removal:
- Apply: Spray the affected area thoroughly, ensuring the stain is completely saturated with the solution.
- Allow to Penetrate: Let the solution sit on the stain for at least 5 minutes to allow the enzyme formula to break down the stain and odor. For older or tougher stains, allow it to sit for up to 10 minutes.
- Blot: Using a clean, damp cloth or sponge, gently blot the treated area. Do not rub vigorously, as this can spread the stain or damage the carpet fibers. Work from the outside of the stain inward.
- Rinse (Optional): For best results, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and blot the area again to rinse any remaining residue.
- Dry: Allow the area to air dry completely. Avoid walking on the treated area until it is dry.
- Repeat if Necessary: For stubborn stains or odors, repeat the application process until the stain and odor are completely gone.
Note: This product is designed for use on carpets and upholstery. Always refer to the care instructions for your specific carpet or fabric before use.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent leakage and maintain product efficacy.
- Nozzle Care: If the spray nozzle becomes clogged, rinse it under warm water. Do not use sharp objects to clear the nozzle, as this may damage it.
- Disposal: Dispose of empty containers according to local regulations. Do not reuse the container for other liquids.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stain not completely removed. | Insufficient product applied, not enough dwell time, or very old/set-in stain. | Reapply product, ensuring full saturation. Allow longer dwell time (up to 10 minutes). Repeat the process if necessary. |
| Odor persists after treatment. | Odor source not fully neutralized, or deep penetration into padding. | Ensure the area is thoroughly saturated to reach the odor source. Allow for longer contact time. Repeat treatment. Consider professional cleaning for severe, deeply embedded odors. |
| Product not spraying. | Nozzle clogged or bottle empty. | Rinse the spray nozzle under warm water. Check if there is enough product in the bottle. |
