Bissell spot cleaners always come in handy for removing tough stains, spots, and dirt from upholsteries, rugs, carpets, etc., in the home.
Some Cleaners’ functions even extend to car cleaning, making the appliance win the hearts of many.
While some Cleaners can work on large surfaces, others work on small areas only. Have you ever wondered why it’s so?
The differences between all Bissell spot cleaners are their number of attachments (brushes), size, power, etc. The red cleaner (Emergency SpotClean) has one attachment, while Purple (Bissell 36984 SpotClean) has two attachments (3″ and 6″ brushes). Orange (SpotClean professional) has three attachments (6″ brush and stain trapper tool).

What Is The Difference Between Bissell SpotClean And SpotClean Professional?
Although Bissell SpotClean Turbo and the SpotClean professional are nearly similar in function, they also differ. Some differences deal with these two features and how it affects the machine’s functionality.
Find below the areas where the differences in these duo falls:
#1. Size And Weight
The Bissell SpotClean professional is worth your money in terms of weight and size. Due to its weight of 3.86kg, it is easier to operate and handle in the home.
The SpotClean Professional is also convenient for people with arthritis and other mobility issues.
On the contrary, the SpotClean Turbo weighs 5.8kg, making it a bit inconvenient to use. However, SpotClean Turbo is the best option for heavy cleaning because of its large size.
#2. Tank Capacity
The Bissell SpotClean Turbo has a capacity of 2.8 liters, while the professional can only hold 1.1litres.
As a result, the Bissell SpotClean can work for longer periods before refilling compared to professionals.
#3. Cord Length
The Bissell turbo’s power cord has a length of 6.7, while that of the SpotClean professional is 4.5 m. Apart from size, the cord size also contributes to the use of the machines.
Due to the shorter cord length, SpotClean professional works well for small areas. The SpotClean professional contrarily is suitable for larger areas.
#4. Dirt Tank Capacity
Like the SpotClean turbo’s large tank capacity, its dirt tank is also large enough to contain much dirty water.
The dirt tank capacity of the turbo is twice that of a professional. Hence, you would have to empty the professional’s tank more frequently, unlike the turbo.

How Does Bissell SpotClean Work?
Bissell SpotClean works with three processes; spraying, scrubbing, and suctioning. Those three steps are responsible for the whole cleaning.
Let’s go into these steps in detail;
#1. Spraying
All Bissell SpotClean begins with wetting the surface, i.e., the rug, with a mixture of the right cleansing formula and water to soften the stains. After spraying, scrubbing becomes easy.
Before spraying, you must have brought out the tank and filled it with warm water. The tank should have a line about ¾ of the tank.
If you have trouble finding the tank, look it up in your owner’s manual, but it’s quite easy to locate.
Here’s how to fill the tank with clean water.
- Lift the handle of the water tank to remove it from the machine
- Untighten the tank’s cap, then remove the bottle insert.
- Fill the tank with clean, warm water (maximum of 140°F). The water should be on the same level as the line on the upper side of the tank.
- Add the right amount of Bissell formula to the water in the tank. Your choice of cleaning formula should depend on the purpose of usage.
- Return the bottle insert and tighten the tank’s cap.
- Spray the stained area to soften the stain. Spraying makes scrubbing easy.
Below is a table outlining the various cleaning formulae and their specific uses;
#2. Scrubbing
This process follows spraying. Unlike other carpet cleaners that use automatic rotating brushes, you scrub manually with Spot Cleaners. And the number of brushes varies in the SpotClean models.
- The available tools depend on the Bissell SpotClean model.
- Choose the tough stain tool for tough stains on rugs.
- Do you need to attach the tool to the hose? Twist the secure latch to release the hose.
- Attach the selected tool to the hose grip.
- Locate the SpotClean’s quick-release cable, unwind it, and plug it into a power socket.
- Press the power on button on the machine.
- Position the tool at about 1-inch from the dirty spot and press the spray button.
- Then, leave the spray button to begin scrubbing.
#3. Suction
After scrubbing, the machine absorbs all the moisture into the dirty tank to dry the scrubbed area.
When water fills the dirty tank, remove it by opening the seal and moving the handle to the back of the cleaner. When returning the tank, repeat the steps you took when removing the tank.
Final Thoughts
Unarguably, all Bissell SpotClean machines can clear stains from surfaces effectively, but there are still differences among them.
They could differ in cable size, power, etc. Due to the type of attachments SpotClean pro™ has, it’s the most powerful SpotClean machine.
