Key features & specs

How it compares

When compared to upright carpet cleaners, this Bissell unit offers significantly better maneuverability inside the tight confines of a vehicle cabin. While full-sized extractors provide more suction, mid-sized portable units like this one strike a better balance for automotive use cases. It outperforms handheld cordless vacuums by providing deep-scrubbing liquid extraction rather than just surface suction. Compared to steam cleaners, it is more effective at drawing dirt out of the fabric fibers rather than just loosening them with heat.

How to use it

1. Fill the clean water tank with warm water and the recommended 100% vegan cleaning formula.
2. Pre-treat heavily soiled areas of the car seat or floor mat by spraying the solution and letting it sit for five minutes.
3. Use the Tough Stain Tool to scrub the fabric in a back-and-forth motion while holding the spray trigger.
4. Release the trigger and apply downward pressure while pulling the tool slowly toward you to extract the dirty liquid.
5. Empty the dirty water tank once it reaches the maximum fill line to maintain optimal suction.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Bissell Little Green ProHeat worth it?

The Bissell Little Green ProHeat is worth it for car owners who perform their own interior detailing more than twice a year. It pays for itself by replacing expensive professional extraction services.

Does this work for leather car seats?

This machine is specifically designed for fabric, carpet, and upholstery; it is not recommended for use on leather surfaces. For leather, a dedicated cleaner and microfiber towel system is safer.

How does it compare to a shop vacuum?

Unlike a standard shop vacuum, the Bissell Little Green ProHeat applies heated cleaning solution and agitates fibers while simultaneously extracting. This leads to a deeper clean than suction alone can provide.

Is the cleaning solution vegan?

Yes, the standard Bissell cleaning formulas for the Little Green are 100% vegan and contain no animal-derived surfactants. The machine is compatible with a wide range of plant-based upholstery cleaners.
