This post highlights my personal experiences and reasons for loving the Bissell Little Green Original ProHeat Pet Portable Carpet Cleaner. I spill the beans on all the reasons you need one, too, focusing on its compact size, powerful performance, versatility, and peace of mind it provides in dealing with everyday spills and stains.

First and foremost, let’s talk about its compact nature. Due to its small size it’s a breeze to maneuver, whether tackling large carpeted areas or tight corners and upholstery. No need to lug around a bulky, cumbersome machine - the Little Green Original ProHeat Machine gets the job done with ease. Not to mention that trying to find a place to store a bigger machine in an RV is fairly impossible.
This little guy sits in the storage compartment under our fifth wheel, along with its attachments and cleaning solutions. Speaking of solutions, I prefer the Bissell Pro Spot & Stain + Oxy solution. I use Oxyclean religiously, but this product works wonders for removing stains and it smells amazing, too! And if you have small pets in the potty-training stage, Bissell also makes a Bissell Pet Pro Spot & Stain + Oxy Urine Eliminator solution. I have used both, and honestly they both work extremely well! Whatever solution you choose, paired with the Little Green Machine and the heatwave technology it’s equipped with, you are bound to have amazing results!
But it's not just about convenience; it's about performance. Equipped with powerful suction and a built-in heater, this mighty machine tackles tough stains with unparalleled efficiency. From coffee spills to muddy paw prints, it's as if the mess never happened, leaving behind nothing but spotless, refreshed carpets and upholstery. It even got out dried up play-dough that was stuck in my son’s rug within seconds.
Why settle for a product that makes you work hard? This machine does all the work for you, giving you a quick and simple clean-up so there’s more time for you to spend your day the way you want. I also love that you can fill the water reservoir to the lowest level for small jobs, because it prevents from wasting a large amount of water and solution.
And let's not forget about versatility. Obviously you would use this carpet cleaner on the carpeted areas of the RV, but you can also use it to clean your car upholstery, which comes in handy when you are traveling full-time with little ones and fur babies. Not only do I use it for getting my floorboards clean, but I also use it for my son’s car seat. Let me tell you, the first time I tried it the stains came out of the car seat cover with ease and air dried overnight! It brings peace of mind when we travel for hours at a time knowing my son is eating in the car and I will be able to clean up the mess.
I think that is what I love most about my carpet cleaner.. the peace of mind it provides. As a boy mama, a fur mama, and a wife of a very messy man, messes have become another part of our lives. But with this trusty carpet cleaner by my side, I can tackle messes head-on, confident in its ability to restore order and cleanliness to our home.
So how exactly does this bad boy come in handy when traveling full-time in an RV? Well, if you are like us and you don’t have a washer and dryer in your rig, you can use it to clean up messes on items that you would normally just throw in the washer. Now, I’m not talking about clothes, but hey, that might just work!
No, I’m talking about blankets, sheets, mattress protectors or mattress pads, comforters or duvets, the list goes on.
You might be thinking I sound crazy.. using my tiny machine to clean any and every dirty thing in my path. But hey, when you are a good 30 minutes from the laundromat and it’s an hour before closing time, you figure something out. So, that’s what I did. I figured it out. Now, this is my go-to option for messes that need to be cleaned up quickly.
I’ll tell you the story about how I discovered the hidden magic in this machine…
We have a dog who’s half chihuahua and half pug. He’s over 8 years old, and his poor little stomach gets upset easily. Sometimes he throws up, but he never throws up on the easy-to-clean areas. No, no. That would be too easy. Instead, he throws up on the bedroom carpet, our bed, my son’s bed, and my personal favorite (just kidding), our throw pillows and blankets.
One night around 6 PM, we had been out to the store and came back to find that he had thrown up on my son’s comforter at the foot of his bed. It wasn’t a very big mess, but it had to be cleaned up especially because we don’t have another comforter stowed away. We just don’t have enough storage space for an extra bulky comforter.
Anyways, we knew we couldn’t make it in and out of the laundromat before closing time, so I used my Little Green Machine to shampoo the comforter. And it worked.. amazingly! Within just a minute or two the mess was gone. There was no odor or stain left behind. And the best part is we were able to air dry it outside until time for bed preventing my toddler from missing his much needed sleep. Don’t get me wrong, we still washed it at the laundromat! But the point is, the mess was cleaned up and my son was still able to sleep in his bed. Not to mention, there were no stains which is a huge plus for this OCD mama!
Having discovered this lovely machine and all its glory, I wanted to share it with the world. I know there are many people who travel full-time in RVs, but even if you don’t this carpet cleaner would be a great addition to anyone’s home. Imagine having stairs and trying to lug a huge upright cleaner up the stairs while also trying to shampoo each step. What a hassle! Just whip out this bad boy and put him to work! You’ll be done in no time!
Cleaning this machine is a breeze, as well! First, I dump out my dirty water (usually outside because I don’t want any hair it may have picked up getting stuck in my black tank) and rinse it out. Then, I empty the clean water reservoir and rinse it out. Let both reservoirs air dry upside down. Disconnect the hose from the machine and the handle, and rinse it out. Take the cover off the top of the brush tool and rinse the parts. I usually shake everything to get as much water out as possible and towel dry what I can. Once everything is dry, put it all back together and viola!
The Bissell Little Green Original ProHeat Pet Portable Carpet Cleaner isn't just a cleaning tool - it's a lifesaver. Its compact design, powerful performance, and unmatched versatility make it a must-have for any household, but especially the ones living in compact spaces. So here's to clean carpets, stress-free spills, and endless peace of mind - all thanks to my beloved Little Green mean machine.
