Best by farI tested both the Linen & Sky scent and the Spring & Renewal scent of this new Bissell/Febreze carpet cleaning formula. I found them equal in cleaning ability, my review of which follows. Smell-wise, the Spring scent was a touch more floral while the Linen scent did not have any perfume-y smell. It would be a matter of personal preference which of these you choose, but either way the smell is subtle and only the lingering impression is one of things being fresh & clean.
Now, for the important thing: how did it clean? Well, to give you some background, I have crappy old carpet that I won't bother to replace until my old cat runs out of lives. When I clean the carpet, the best I usually achieve is "well, its better than it was". I have tried various cleaning solutions from both Hoover and Bissell: Deep Cleansing Professional formula, Lavender Essence, Pet Stain etc. and never found much difference between any of them.
The first thing I noticed with the...
Deep Clean!I recently tried this formula, along with Bissell's "Professional Deep Cleaning with Febreze Freshness Spring & Renewal Formula, 2515A." This product comes in a bigger bottle, 60 ounces to the other formula's 48 ounces. I find they clean pretty much the same - which is they clean nicely! Both formulas contain Febreze, while this one does not have ScotchGuard in it.
I found that this formula cleans very well. That has been my experience with all Bissell carpet products. It helps get out tough stains and dirt, and does not remove any color from the carpet. The carpet dries nicely returning to its natural color. As with any cleaning system, if your overall carpet is dirty, you may see a lighter (clean) area after use. That, of course, has nothing to do with a cleaning device or liquid itself.
This cleaner is similar to other Bissell cleaners, although it does have a definite Febreze scent when first used. If you normally like those scents you will probably...
Cleans well, smells FANTASTIC!This product is NOT for portable machines (like the SpotBot). I didn't realize that when I ordered it, but I have an upright machine, as well. It smells better than Hoover solution, and cleans about as well. I'll probably order this again, instead of my usual Hoover cleaning solution.
