Carpeted rooms might look beautiful, cozy, and chic, but careless spills, pet messes, and crumbs can leave them looking less fab and a little more drab. With four dogs, I know this better than anyone.
If there's one superstar product we're always recommending when it comes to cleaning carpets, it's the Bissell Little Green Mini Portable Carpet and Upholstery Deep Cleaner available at Amazon, and, as it's now at its lowest ever price, it's really caught my eye. More than 20,000 shoppers snapped it up last month, and it's now a complete steal at just $69.99.
Not only does it make the job a breeze, its usefulness is beyond carpet cleaning, as it's compact to store too and perfect for small homes.
Why we love the Bissell mini carpet cleaner
This small but mighty carpet cleaner tackle spills and pet stains while removing dander, dust, and pollen allergens from your home, while eliminating everyday household odors at the same time.
If there's one person you can trust when it comes to the best gadgets to buy for deep cleaning a carpet, it's Dan Fauzi, our in-house Home Tech Editor and expert floorcare appliance tester. And, unsurprisingly, they're a big fan of this brilliant deal.
'The Bissell Little Green is one of the most highly praised spot cleaners you can buy,' they say. 'I'm a huge fan of Bissell – they make all kinds of high-quality and genuinely useful floorcare appliances, and they never overprice them.
'I've used the UK version of the Bissell Little Green Mini and love quickly you can grab it when you need to remove food and drink stains from carpets.'
Indeed, this handy product makes it so simple and easy to avoid any carpet cleaning mistakes, with a four-inch Tough Stain Tool, complete with a removable lens, HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and 8oz. BISSELL Little Green Formula, which is also available to purchase separately at Amazon.
The best part? This compact carpet cleaner is seriously mini, making it ideal for stowing away, ready for use in any small space storage ideas.
'As the best carpet cleaners are loud, bulky, and expensive machines, going handheld is the best choice if you're limited on space,' continues Dan. 'You can hide it in the back of the cupboard between cleans.'
For me personally, this makes it much easier to keep a clean house with pets, as I often find myself scrambling to get what I need quickly. With this, though, it's conveniently at my fingertips and ready for use.
It's not just for cleaning carpets, either. Three separate functions – spray, scrub and suction – make it easy to remove embedded dirt and stains when cleaning upholstery, car interiors, and in my case, washing dog beds and reducing pet dander in the bedroom.
With satisfied shoppers writing that they're 'very impressed' with this product, describing it as 'so convenient,' 'little but mighty,' and an 'excellent machine,' in glowing five-star reviews, hurry to buy it on Amazon while stocks last and this limited time deal is still on.
What to shop
All prices were correct at the time of publication.
If this is good enough for our vacuum and floor cleaning expert Dan, it's definitely good enough for me. It's a number one Amazon bestseller for a reason, easily removing tough stains, protecting against future stains, and even eliminating odors.
This model might not be as mini, but a larger tank capacity of 84 oz means you can clean more, for longer, without needing to refill. It's also still a portable, highly functional design.
For messier households, or muckier pets, this model is even more powerful, with a self-cleaning tough stain tool to rinse out left-behind residue, dirt and debris with a one-touch hose and tool cleanout.
