Big Green Machine | Assembly & How to Use

The BISSELL Big Green Carpet Cleaner is quick and easy to use:
  • Start by vacuuming the entire area 
    • Consider Pre-treating any really tough or set in stains
  • Pull the top tank handle up and remove the dirty water tank
  • Next lift out the clean water tank
  • Take the clean water tank to your sink and fill with hot tap water to the water line
  • Add two cap fulls of BISSELL solution using the built in measuring cap
  • There are many solution choices to fit your cleaning needs
  • Next replace the tanks making sure the dirty water tank is fully seated on top of the clean water tank, then you're ready to clean
  • Start the machine and recline the handle
  • Press the trigger and make one slow forward and backward pass over the area
  • Release the trigger and make one slow forward and backward pass over the same area to suction up any additional dirty water from the carpet
  • Repeat wet and dry passes overlapping by 3-4 inches
  • The flow indicator on the machine stops spinning to let you know when you need more water and solution
  • Empty the dirty water tank and refill the clean water tank with additional water and solution if you have more cleaning to do
  • When you are completely finished cleaning unplug the machine and remove and rinse both the clean and dirty water tanks
  • Check the brush roll on the bottom of the machine for dirt and debris and remove as needed 
  • Put the tanks back on the machine
