I received BISSELL Boost free from BISSELL Homecare, Inc. — the Company sent this to me and did not charge me for it. That being said, I am under no obligation to write a good review or to write any review about this product, and what I’m writing here are my own opinions based on my own personal use of the product.

My home is filled with two floors of wall-to-wall carpeting. That’s a lot of carpet! So it’s essential that I stay on top of the carpets and keep them clean! So, I’ve developed a few tricks and habits to keep my carpets clean! One of those methods is carpet deep cleaning with BISSELL. I think my family’s system works well, since we’re always told how new our carpeting (which was installed 10+ years ago) looks! Spring is a great time to take special care of your home and your carpets — you’ll want to clean out all that rock salt and dirt you’ve tracked in during the winter season! (Comment on your favorite spring cleaning methods below for a chance to win a BISSELL spring cleaning package!)
1. Take shoes off! My husband, kids and I ALWAYS take our shoes off when we enter our home. We keep our shoes in a mini mud room area I’ve created by the front door. Not allowing shoes on carpeting is essential to keeping it clean. By not walking on our home’s carpeting with our shoes, my family and I keep the dirt and germs that is tracked onto our carpeting at a minimum.
2. Vacuum Frequently. I am not always the best at keeping up with this step, but when you have carpeting in a home, you really need to vacuum it frequently (at least 1-2 times a week) to keep it clean. If you don’t, the dirt that does get into your carpet will get ground in and will be more difficult to remove.
I use my new BISSELL CleanView Complete Pet Bagless Upright Vacuum , which I love! I like that the vacuum is bagless. I find that using a bagless vacuum is much easier that using one where you have to use vacuum bags. I’ve always found the vacuum bags hard to insert, and they are sometimes difficult to find in my local store! Plus, seeing all the dirt in the vacuum’s canister is a great motivator for me — it really shows how much cleaner my carpets are getting as I clean!
3. Spot Clean. Clean up spills and stains as soon as they happen. By cleaning up messes ASAP, you can make sure that they will be gone and not linger! When there is a spill, blot it up quickly by covering the area with a paper towel and pressing down on the paper towels to lift up the liquid. If there is a stain, you could use a few drops of clear liquid hand dish detergent in water. Apply some of your diluted solution to a paper towel and rub out the spot. Blot with a clean (not soapy) wet towel to rinse out your soap solution.
4. Deep Clean. I used to think that all I needed to do to keep my carpets clean were to spot clean and vacuum. I was wrong! I received a beautiful new BISSELL PROHEAT 2X PREMIER FULL-SIZE CARPET CLEANER last year and was surprised to see how much dirt it got out of my carpets! My kids love it when I use the BISSELL Proheat Carpet Cleaner on our home’s carpeting — the carpeting feels so soft and fluffy right after it is cleaned! I adore my BISSELL Carpet Cleaner — it is so easy to use and I don’t have to pay for an outside service to get my carpets really clean! I like using BISSELL Professional Deep Cleaning with Febreze® Formula 2515 (value: $21.99) in my Bissell deep cleaner.
BISSELL Professional Carpet Deep Cleaning with Febreze™ is a 3-in-1 formula that removes deep-down dirt and odors, freshens with Febreze®, and contains Scotchgard™ protection. It keep my carpets protected from future stains! I love that!
I also enjoy my BISSELL Boost products. The Boost products help enhance the cleaning power of my Professional Deep Cleaning with Febreze® Formula. The BISSELL Prevent Boost Carpet Cleaning Formula Enhancer helps to repel tough stains, BISSELL Renew Boost Carpet Cleaning Formula Enhancer works to revive high traffic areas, and BISSELL Oxy Boost Carpet Cleaning Formula Enhancer can remove set-in stains — the Boost products are all lifesavers when one’s house is FILLED with wall-to-wall carpeting!
In fact, I have tried several of BISSELL’s upright carpet cleaner formulas, and love them all! I think BISSELL and its carpet cleaner formulas are essential to keeping my home’s carpeting clean!

Oh, I desperately need a Bissell. We have THREE pets, so it definitely gets messy. My tip for spring cleaning is to do a little each day. In the past, I’ve tried to tackle it all in a weekend, and I ended up grumpy and tired!

Good luck, Donella! I love my BISSELL carpet cleaner! I agree with you about spring cleaning — I did a little today and hope to do a little bit every day this week! I’d rather spend my weekends with my family!
Brittanie @Simplistically Living says
I could really use this! My son is starting to learn how to crawl and our carpets have been through a lot. I need a good deep cleaner! My best tip is to DECLUTTER and get rid of anything you haven’t used the last 3-6 months. Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite Spring cleaning tip is to use my dryer sheets after removing from the dryer to dust off a few pieces of furniture or shelves. You do a few with each load of laundry and you’re done before you know it. For those muddy Spring spots that are tracked in on my carpet, I use my favorite product, Power Shot® Oxy for Carpet & Area Rugs. This stuff is amazing! It even removed old grease from work boots!
Lauren says
I will have to try your dryer sheet trick, Sarah! Thanks for visiting!
Melissa OConnor says
I love letting the fresh spring air in. I vacuum or sweep the window screens as I’m cleaning the glass. I live close to a busy highway, so we have a lot of dust.
Lauren says
Hi, Melissa! I think your idea of vacuuming window screens! I will have to try that!
Amy L says
I get my Spring cleaning done by breaking it up into small tasks (i.e. clean a window, vacuum a couch, etc.) that I can do in 15 – 20 minutes. This way I get things done even on days that I don’t have a lot of time.
Lauren says
Good idea, Amy!
Tammy S says
Oh this would be such a blessing! We have two kids and two cats, so I am always cleaning up messes. I could really use this to help get all the dirt and pet hair out of my carpets. I didn’t even know Febreze made carpet cleaners! My tip is to gather all your supplies in a basket and tackle one room at a time. If you go from room to room it seems so overwhelming. Thank you for the chance!

My favorite cleaning tips include breaking it down into smaller tasks. In addition, using different cleaners to de germ all the winter germs that have sneaked in during the long winter months.
