Every home needs to keep clean and this rule extends

Ground-in dirt

Over a period of time all the dust from dead skin, grime and airborne contaminants settles on the carpet surface and this gets trodden into the fibres before a vacuum cleaner can fully remove all the particles. Once the filth gets pushed deeper down into the carpet or rug it becomes harder to remove.

Your carpet works as a natural filter in the home environment by removing these contaminants from the air and floor surface, which in turn stops the human occupants from ingesting this debris, which can often be the cause of skin and airway conditions like asthma. If the carpet becomes clogged it can fail to fulfil its filter role adequately.

ProHeat 2X Select

A home with the Bissell ProHeat 2X Select doesn't need to worry about ground-in dirt because this carpet cleaner can remove the offending particles and with built-in Microban protection will also stop the growth of algae, mould and mildew, which are the chief micro-bacterial organisms that left unchecked, affect the health of

The Select model features several Bissell systems as would fit a mid-range carpet cleaner. Present on the Select is Microban, Custom Clean, Surround Suction, Edge Sweep, DirtLifter brushes and an on-board heater.

Allergen killer

The Microban protection prevents the machine from harbouring microorganisms in the form of bacteria, by preventing damp areas from remaining inside the carpet cleaner during periods of non-usage. It performs this task thanks to clever design and innovative ventilation techniques.

Custom Clean is the Bissell system which chooses the level of clean you require on any given job. So your choices on the dial will range from light cleaning to heavy soiling, depending on the amount of dirt you need to remove. The custom settings vary the amount of solution added to the hot water and the amount of liquid sprayed into the carpet.

All round performance

The surround Suction and Edge Sweep are two systems designed to offer a full performance even in the margins - where other machines historically suffer. So if you've ever used a vacuum or carpet cleaner and found the edges of carpets, up to the skirting boards, lacking in dirt removal, fear not - the Select can get up to the boards and thanks to a selection of tools it can also get into other tight spots.

Tools are included with the Bissell ProHeat Select and with this model you get a generous four attachments. The Turbo brush, Crevice tool, hard floor tool and tough-stain brush all come as standard with the Select, making this a very versatile carpet cleaner.

Getting to the dirt

All Bissell carpet cleaners feature DirtLifter brushes either in rows of 10 or 12 and these brushes have been specifically designed to push the hot water and soap solution into the carpet fibres without damaging them. Thus the cleaning solution is driven deep into the carpet fibres and then sucked out by the powerful surround suction - you'll be amazed how dirty the water is the first time you use a Bissell carpet cleaner.

Hot water and air

The on-board heater not only heats the water up, it also provides hot air to dry the carpet as the water is sucked back out from the fibres. This method increases the drying time, with 2-3 hours being the typical natural drying time needed after using the carpet cleaner.

So whether you have a small home or large house with pets and young children, the Bissell ProHeat 2X Select and Pet version will be the perfect home appliance you require for carpet cleaning and with Bissell you know you're getting a history of quality in the floor cleaning business.
