Overview of the Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro

The Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro isn‘t your average carpet cleaner – it‘s a powerful pet mess destruction machine! Here are some key features:

• Dual DirtLifter PowerBrushes – These fast rotating brushes with 12 rows of bristles lift and remove embedded dirt, stains, and hair from carpets.

• Heatwave Technology – Maintains warm water temperature consistently through your cleaning for better performance.

• 8 foot Long Hose – The extra long hose reaches stairs, furniture, and other hard to reach spots in your home. No more back pain from bending over!

• Specialized Pet Tools – Comes with unique tools like a Pet Stain Tool, 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool, and Tough Stain Tool.

• Large Capacity Tanks – The 2.25 gallon clean water/solution tank allows you to clean large areas efficiently.

• 10 AMP Motor – This professional-grade cleaner has incredible spray pressure and suction for lifting deep stains.

Attaching the Hose and Tools

Before you can start cleaning, you need to properly attach the hose and cleaning tools. Don‘t worry, it only takes a few simple steps:

1. Locate the water/solution tank on the base of the machine. Turn the black tank handle counter-clockwise to the unlock position.

2. Lift up the red carry handle and removable the water/solution tank. Set it aside for now.

3. You‘ll see a white 8 foot hose wrapped up on the plastic hose caddy. Unwrap the hose completely and straighten it out.

4. Examine the ends of the hose. Locate the U-shaped end. This will attach to front of the machine‘s base. The opposite end will attach your cleaning tools.

5. Line up the U-shaped end over the water/solution connection on the front of the base. You‘ll feel it click into place when properly seated.

6. Now choose your desired cleaning tool. For pet messes, I recommend:

   • Pet Stain Tool
   • 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool
   • Tough Stain Tool

7. Firmly attach your chosen tool onto the threaded end of the hose by lining it up and twisting clockwise. You‘ll hear it click when properly attached.

8. Ensure your hose and tool are securely attached and you‘re ready to start cleaning like a pro!

Always firmly attach the hose at both ends for optimal suction power.

Using the Hose Attachment

The 8 foot hose that comes with the Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro makes it easy to clean those hard to reach areas of your home that get plagued by pet messes. Here are some of my go-to uses for the hose:

Clean Under Furniture

Pets love to hide under beds, sofas, and other furniture. This inevitably leads to stains, dirt, and odors collecting in these hard to reach spots.

Attach the 6 inch Tough Stain Tool to easily scrub away pet stains from underneath furniture. Its firm bristles will brush away even stuck-on gunk.

Be sure to spray liberally with cleaning solution first to soak into stains before scrubbing and extracting.

Refresh Stairs

Staircases take a beating from our pets tracking dirt, mud, and waste as they run up and down.

Use the 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool to vacuum up pet hair from carpets on stairs and risers. Then flip to the brush side to scrub stains away.

The low profile design lets you thoroughly clean each step and balusters without smacking the tool on steps.

Clean Pet Beds

Over time, pet beds become matted with hair, dander, drool stains, and that funky pet odor.

Revive pet beds by attaching the 6 inch wide Pet Stain Tool. Its suction and spinning brush lift away stuck on debris while cleaning away stains and eliminating odors.

Be sure to fully air dry plush pet beds before letting pets back on them.

Detail Car Interiors

Transporting pets inevitably means messy accidents in vehicles. The Bissell‘s hose length makes it easy to give a deep clean to your back seats, carpets, door panels, and headliner.

Use the small, maneuverable Pet Stain Tool in tight areas like seats. Use larger tools on floor mats and cargo areas.

Reach High Spots

Cat owners know first-hand how pets can leave stains and hair on ceilings, walls, and window treatments as they climb and climb.

Attach the Pet Stain Tool to suck away pet dander, eliminate odors, and scrub stains on hard to reach walls, blinds, drapes and ceilings.

When using the hose, always start furthest from the machine and work backwards. This prevents you from stepping over wet areas. Keep the hose stretched out completely for maximum suction and cleaning power.

Using the Pet Stain Tool

The uniquely designed Pet Stain Tool is specially engineered to remove those tough stains and funky odors pets leave on carpets, rugs, furniture and more.

Based on my experience, here are some tips for getting the most out of this attachment on pet messes:

1. Pre-treat stains – Always apply a pet-friendly pre-treater or stain remover before scrubbing. This helps loosen and lift stains from fibers for easier removal.

2. Attach tool – Firmly attach the Pet Stain Tool to the end of the hose, with the brush flap facing down towards the floor.

3. Spray cleaner – Position the tool over the stain, then pull the trigger to saturate the area with Bissell cleaning solution.

4. Scrub gently – Run the brush flap back and forth over the stain using gentle but firm pressure.

5. Extract – Release the trigger to activate powerful suction that extracts dirty solution.

6. Rinse – Make a final pass with just water to rinse away any residue.

7. Dry thoroughly – Allow the area to completely dry before letting pets back on it.

The spinning brush provides extra scrubbing power to lift stains while strong suction extracts it away. This makes the Pet Stain Tool ideal for using on carpets, area rugs, pet beds, furniture, car seats, and more.

Using the 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool

The versatile 2-in-1 Pet Upholstery Tool allows you to both vacuum and scrub pet messes on upholstery.

Here are tips for getting the most from its two modes:

Vacuum Side

• Pet hair – Vacuum up pet hair, dander and any dry debris from upholstery.

• Embedded dirt – The suction lifts up stubborn dirt ground into fabric.

• Detail crevices – Use the crevice tool to vacuum pet hair and crumbs from seams and tufts.

• Refresh ottomans – The low profile design lets you vacuum under furniture.

Brush Side

• Stains – Flip tool and use brush side to scrub stains. Apply cleaning solution first to saturate.

• Baked-on gunk – The spinning brush helps loosen up mud, dirt, food stains and more.

• Pet odors – Scrubbing with cleaning solution helps eliminate funky pet smells.

• Detail headrests – Clean where pets‘ heads rest on chairs and sofas.

No matter the mess your pets left on your upholstery, this 2-in-1 tool can handle it!

Using the Tough Stain Tool

The Tough Stain Tool is specially designed to power away those extremely stubborn stains pets leave behind. Here are my pro tips for success:

• Stubborn spots – Use slow, concentrated back-and-forth motions over stuck-on stains. Apply firm pressure without abrasively scrubbing.

• Old pet stains – For stubborn old stains, pre-treat with a pet enzyme cleaner. Let soak 5-10 minutes before scrubbing and extracting. This extra time helps lift out deeply set-in stains.

• Dried urine – The stiff bristles of the Tough Stain Tool allow you to scrub away even dried urine stains and restore carpets.

• Muddy paws – Have a new pup that tracks in mud constantly? Use the Tough Stain Tool regularly on entryway carpets and rugs to scrub away dirt.

• Pet accidents – This is the go-to tool for cleaning isolated pet vomit, urine, or feces accidents on carpets and upholstery. Its suction extracts liquid waste while scrubbing cleans solids.

Don‘t be afraid to apply some elbow grease with this attachment for those extra dirty spots. Thoroughly rinse cleaned areas afterwards.

Tips for Best Results

Based on hundreds of pet stain removals, here are my pro tips for getting the best results from your Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro attachments:

• Always pre-treat or pre-wash stains and odors with a pet enzyme cleaner before deep cleaning for easier removal.

• For fresh stains, blot up excess liquid immediately before scrubbing and extracting. This prevents the stain from setting deeper.

• Check upholstery manufacturer‘s cleaning instructions first. Test an inconspicuous area before cleaning delicate fabrics.

• Empty and rinse the clean tank every 15-20 minutes for a consistent flow of warm, clean water.

• Make a final pass with just water to rinse away all cleaning solution residue that attracts dirt.

• Frequently check for clogs. Remove hair or debris wrapped around brushes. Trim with scissors if needed.

• Allow 4-6 hours minimum for all fabrics to completely dry before allowing pets back on them. Quicker with fans.

• When finished, neatly coil the hose on the caddy and store tools in the included zipper bag to prevent damage.

Following these tips will give you professional-quality cleans for any pet mess!

Maintaining and Storing Attachments

Like any cleaning equipment, proper maintenance and storage of the Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro attachments is key for longevity. Follow these home improvement expert recommendations:

• Rinse thoroughly – Always rinse away all debris and cleaning solutions from attachments with water after use. Avoid mineral deposits and residue buildup.

• Air dry – Before storing, allow attachments to fully air dry to prevent mold growth in crevices.

• Inspect for damage – Check attachments regularly for any wear, cracking, or damage affecting suction. Catch issues early before getting worse. Replace damaged parts.

• Remove hair – Pet hair easily wraps around brushes. Carefully cut out hair or threads preventing the brushes from spinning.

• Handle hose carefully – Avoid excessive pulling, twisting, kinking, or abrasion on the hose that could cause cracks.

• Coil hose loosely – When wrapping the 8 foot hose for storage, loosely coil it so it doesn‘t get warped.

• Store properly – Place attachments in included zip bag and store in a cool, dry place safe from damage when not in use.

Proper care will keep these attachments working optimally for years of pet mess cleanups!

Troubleshooting Attachment Issues

Sometimes minor issues can arise causing attachments to not work properly. Here are some common problems and my troubleshooting fixes after years of experience:

Low suction power:

• Check for blockages or clogs. Carefully remove obstructions from hose, tools or tanks with tweezers.

• Ensure attachments are clicked completely into place for an airtight seal. Wiggling while attaching can help fully seat them.

• Inspect filters on unit itself. Rinse or replace clogged filter to restore full suction power.

Leaking from attachments:

• Confirm hoses are firmly pushed into connectors at both ends for a tight seal.

• Check attachment areas and hoses for any damage, wear, cracking or splitting allowing leaks. Order replacement parts online and replace damaged pieces.

• Verify water/solution tanks are inserted completely onto the base in the locked position. This activates the internal valves.

Brush not spinning:

• Remove any pet hair or debris wrapped around bristle brush impeding rotation. Carefully cut out with scissors if needed.

• Check that attachment is fully connected to provide power to the brush motor. Listen for it activating when turned on.

• Try cleaning without the spinning brush option and only use suction for delicate fabrics. Order a replacement brush if needed.

Attachment won‘t snap into place:

• Examine plastic connectors for any wear, cracks, or damage causing a poor fit.

• Apply a lubricant like WD-40 onto o-rings and connectors and twist into place. Replace damaged parts.

• If brand new, the parts may just need breaking in. Try repeatedly connecting and removing a few times to loosen parts up.

Don‘t let minor attachment issues stop you from getting those pet messes clean! With a few simple troubleshooting steps, you can have them working like new again.

And there you have it – everything you need to know to get the most out of the Bissell Proheat 2x Revolution Pet Pro attachments for professional-grade pet mess removal! Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cleaning!
