Does the bissel spotclean extractor really work for car seats?

[jeff79]

can you get pretty good results using the bissell spot cleaner to clean upholstry and car seats?

[IAtegeler]

I get good results with my little green machine. Have cleaned some nasty floormats with that thing and they come out looking new.

thanks for the reply. i wonder how the suction power compares to a wet/dry shop vac. im wondering if griots scrubbing pad on a DA sander + the wet/dry shop vac would be more effective.


also what cleaner do you recommend for cleaning floormats and upholstery?

I used a little green machine to extract an absolutely enormous amount of cigarette smoke residue from the headliner/carpet/seats of my first car as a teenager. They're solid units for the price.

^ i don't think anyone has used that particular one just yet. if you need a carpet extractor that is going to be used several times a week, this may not be the best option. you may want to look into a dedicated carpet extractor which is built for the long haul...

Always remember you get what you pay for.

If your detailing on a business level then you would want to spend the $500 - $1000 on a real hot water extractor like a Mytee Lite II and let me tell you why theses machines are built to last and there will be no job to dirty for it and the last thing is when I customer pays $250-$400 to have there vehicle professionally detailed there expecting professional tools to be used and I think I would be embarrassed to pull this thing out in front of a client. Like the other guy above me said you get what you pay for...

I have a bissel for home use. I really like to push down hard on extractor heads. It tightens the contact point, contributes to vacuum formation, and aids in more complete removal of cleaning fluids. That's where the "flimsy" nature of the bissell just doesn't cut it. It's fine for doing a small spot job here or there (ex. spilled cup of coffee). Light floor mat duty, etc. But it's made of brittle, clear plastic. Parts are glued together. And if you give 'er hell, she's gonna break into pieces or at minimum crack. It's not a "durable" piece of equipment.

My hunch is you're newer to the game like me. Let me know if you decide to purchase because I am thinking of buying one too. You've read replies for professional level guys but not many rookies have chimed in. I believe whatever gets the job done should be used. If those expensive Mytee extractors are not in your price range, then use what you can until you can upgrade! Thats exactly what i'm doing.

I couldn't disagree with you more. All due respect, customers want the job done and if its a bissell or a Mytee lite II-which 90% of customers haven't heard of until you tell them- as long as it is a quality job, most times they're happy. Granted, it might not be the best or most durable, but we've all gotta start somewhere, no?

Hey everyone's standards are different, and hey there's levels to the detail world not every shop is the same.

It's better then a spray and wipe method. But if your doing this for money you may want something more professional.

is the mytee lite the best in its class for that price range or are there better extractors for 500-1000?
