When you’re trying to keep a tidy and clean house, carpet cleaning can be a bit of a hassle. With your Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution, carpet cleaning gets a whole lot easier. It has no complicated assembly, and with two cleaning modes to choose from, dirt and stains stand no chance. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know to assemble your Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution, use all the tools, and choose the best methods to clean your home.

  1. How to use a bissell proheat 2x revolution carpet cleaner

    1

    Slide the upper handle into the top of the machine. The upper handle is the part with the triangular handle at the top with a trigger underneath it. Slide it into the hole at the top of the machine base, and it will click when secure.[1]

  2. How to use a bissell proheat 2x revolution carpet cleaner

    2

    Align the carry handle with the slots on the base. The carry handle is a black, U-shaped part that allows you to wrap the cord around the handle and the hook at the bottom of the machine. After you align the carry handle with the slots at the base, push it until it clicks, then it’s secure.[2]

    Use a Phillips head screwdriver to secure the carry handle in place fully. There’s a screw taped to the upper handle which you will use to secure the carry handle.[3]

    Wrap the cord around the carry handle set clean water tank. Wrap the power cord around the carry handle hook and the hook at the bottom of your Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution. Once you’ve secured both the upper handle and the carry handle, align the clean water tank with the grooves in the bottom portion of the upper handle. With that done, you’ve assembled your machine.[4]

  5. How to use a bissell proheat 2x revolution carpet cleaner

    Fill the clean water tank with water. Before each cleaning, fill the clean water tank at the bottom of the upper handle with hot water. Water at around 140°F (60°C) max works for the best results. Unscrew the cap at the top of the tank and add water to the fill line.[5]

    • Fill lines differ based on what cleaning mode you use. Express clean uses less water and solution, and the fill line is near the bottom of the tank. Near the top of the clean water tank is the fill line for Deep cleaning mode.

    Use Bissell 2X Concentrated cleaning formulas. Once the tank is filled with water, add the cleaning solution. For Deep Clean mode, add 74 milliliters of formula. For Express Clean mode, add 37 milliliters of formula.[6]

    Repeat this process of wet and dry passes over the entire area. Be sure to take your time. Working slowly ensures more dirty water will get sucked up by the machine, making the drying time faster.[12]

    • This process changes slightly when using the Bissell Deep Clean + Antibacterial formula. You’ll make 3 wet passes, forward, back, then forward again before making your dry passes.
    • If the noise of the machine changes to a higher pitch during cleaning, check the dirty water tank. It fills faster in Deep cleaning mode and may need to be emptied more often.[13]
