What is best carpet cleaner solution
Best Carpet Cleaning Shampoo - 5 TESTED - Bissell vs Rug Doctor vs Hoover vs Resolve
welcome to vacuum Wars today I'm testing
to see which carpet shampoo does the
best with heavily stained carpets these
mid-level carpet cleaners have become
really popular and of course each
manufacturer wants you to use their
brand of shampoo in the machine but we
wanted to see if there was much of a
difference in the cleaning power between
the popular brands of shampoo for the
carpet cleaner itself I use the Bissell
Proheat 2x revolution pet Pro which one
our carpet cleaning machine competition
last year and which is a really
versatile machine for the stains I used
Georgia red clay which I mixed with
water and painted evenly on our medium
pile carpet I've seen Consumer Reports
use Georgia red clay too though they do
apply it a little differently than I did
I also use grape juice which was painted
on in the same basic way as well as v8
juice I chose v8 because in our hard
floor cleaner test the v8 is always the
toughest stain for those types of
machines to get presumably because it
sticks to the surface more and finally
more for identification
I wrote the brand name of the carpet
shampoo with a sharpie I left the stains
to dry for 24 hours and took off the
tape now the different brands of carpet
shampoo often claim to have different
concentrations like two times three
times up to four times concentrate so I
was very careful to use the exact amount
they said to use per gallon of water
which ended up being an easy thing to do
since the tank on the Bissell Proheat is
exactly one gallon one other really
important point that will come up later
and necessitate a second winner-take-all
battle is that the recommended amounts
actually varied from one point six
ounces per gallon on the resolve up to
four ounces per gallon with the rug
doctor with many of their instructions
saying that you should double or triple
that recommended per gallon amount for
tough stains but this first test is all
about the recommended amount for one
gallon in normal conditions so links in
the description and let's get started so
I did two back-and-forth passes with a
solution sprain and two back-and-forth
passes without the spray to suck up the
water in other words eight single passes
for with water and four without and I
would say that they all did admirably
but the winner for this round was the
rug dr. oxy followed by the Bissell and
maybe the resolved in third but it was
close but the problem here is that the
rug doctor
was also the only one that claimed that
the minimum amount to use was four
ounces which was quite a bit more than
the others said to use so in order to
find out how much the amount of shampoo
played a role in its victory
I had a sudden-death round with the
three finalists this time I increase the
amount of shampoo to five ounces for all
the contestants which actually is the
recommended amount for tough stains with
the Bissell and resolved the rug doctor
only had one recommended amount which is
four ounces but I figured they were just
kind of splitting the difference to make
it easy for people to decide which
amount to use so with an equal five
ounces to one gallon mix all three did
much better but I would have to say that
the Bissell Pro advanced was the best
carpet shampoo in this sudden-death
round
better than the other two finalists by
just a little bit when all things were
more or less equal I have to say I've
always suspected that Bissell shampoo
was the reason I keep picking Bissell
Carpet Cleaners as the best in their
category for example my four favorite
carpet cleaners in each price range
which I will link below are all
Bissell's though to be fair stain
cleaning ability is not the only thing I
look for when reviewing carpet cleaners
but knowing what we found out today will
help me be a lot more careful in the
future to make sure everything is equal
when testing carpet cleaners and in case
you're wondering I have absolutely no
affiliation with Bissell these are just
my honest opinions and these tests are
not intended to be super scientific or
anything just an honest attempt to find
the best one be sure to subscribe to
