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!)
Tweet This1. 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
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!

Spring cleaning starts with dusting everything in the house and vacuuming and then sorting through stuff to see what we no longer want or need! So its best to take it one room at a time.
I think it’s best to clean one room at a time, too, Ashley! Thanks for stopping by!
I do my spring cleaning one room at a time. I start at the top (lights,crown molding)and work my way down. I move everything out of the room that I possibly can and give the floors a deep cleaning where all that furniture was. I do closets and everything in that one day. This makes it feel less overwhelming. On those days I tackle a small room such as the laundry room, I have the rest of the day to celebrate spring!
Thanks for stopping by, Gayle! It sounds like you are a very efficient spring cleaner! I bet your house must be nice and clean!
Oh yes I can use the BISSELL Professional Deep Cleaning with Febreze Formula!
My Spring cleaning is ALWAYS tackled in small portions. I use an old hanging shoe rack and I fill each pocket with an index card. I write on each one the day of the week and what the cleaning task that corresponds for that day. I set out to accomplish each daily task during my morning hours and Mon through Friday only Saturday is family day, and Sunday is the Lord’s day, so that is church and ministries, home and [much needed rest].
Thank you for the cool giveaway!
Blessings!
Your system sounds like a great way to tackle cleaning, Yolanda!
I always like to open the windows in the house when it gets warm enough in the spring. Time to get all the stale air out, and let fresh air in. It is so nice and energizing. On top of that, we try to declutter and get rid of old stuff we haven’t used. Once the junk is out of the way, we can scrub and vacuum. We have two cats, so sometimes the fur takes a few passes for our vacuum to completely pick up (we have an older bag vacuum). I try to use kid-friendly and environmentally conscious cleaning products …which has become even more important now that our youngest is crawling around and sticking everything in his mouth.

Hi, Betsy. Thanks for stopping by. I am trying to use mostly environmentally conscious cleaning products, too.
My Spring tip is I do the chores I don’t mind doing first, and save the harder stuff for later. I don’t do one room at a time then move on to the next…I do one chore at a time. If I dust – I dust every room – including mini blinds, ceiling fans, light fixtures, baseboards, pictures, etc. Then all the dusting is done. Then I vacuum – every room, moving furniture out the way as I go. I continue in this manner for all the chores so I don’t have to lug cleaning supplies or the vacuum from room to room, pausing along the way. I’ll clean all the curtains, bedspreads, and rugs.

Thanks for stopping by, Heather! I love the adding music and dancing idea! 🙂 Fun!
My tip is to start with something noticeable to keep you motivated. I also like their tip on involving the kids because if they help they try to keep it clean longer.
I like to start my spring cleaning by opening all the windows and dusting, sweeping and washing all linens.
