We have a light tan/beige carpeting. No not my choice, it came with the house but it was new when we moved in. There have been a few accidents on the living room floor which has resulted in a couple of stains that I’m probably the only one to notice but they do bother me. One of them came about after a doggy accident and in trying to clean it up I think I saturated the area a little too much with a liquid carpet spot cleaner. The area, about 6 inches in diameter was saturated for days and you’d have water or liquid squishing under your feet when you stepped on it. So, I don’t blame the dogs directly for the stain since that was my fault but if they hadn’t done what they did I wouldn’t have done what I did but I did learn my lesson, less is best.
Another spot was again the result of a dog but this time it was a dog that got sick. Imagine BBQ dog food. Yes, a reddish color on the carpet. This spot was only about 3 inches in diameter and I didn’t over saturate the area but the red/orange color kept coming back after the area dried and I tried cleaning it with the carpet cleaner and regular dish soap and water. Still the spot was there.

I was looking for another carpet cleaner and stumbled across the Bissell To Go. A small hand held electric toothbrush type device with a pump bottle full of carpet cleaner. It also came with a small bottle of Oxy To Go. I read the directions carefully and set out on my task, to clean the spots. It removed the smaller stain right away. Now I can’t even begin to see where the spot might have been where my eyes automatically zeroed in on the area immediately. The larger spot, no such luck. I think I’m going to need a huge machine for that one. We’ll tackle cleaning the entire carpet after we paint in a few months.

My rating of the Bissell To Go. 5 Thumbs Up on small spots which is what it was designed for anyway.
