I often get caught out scrolling through social media and seeing cleaning before and afters – the sense of satisfaction from seeing something turn from awful to like new again is too much to avoid. But I'd yet to experience it first hand, until now. Having three young children and a small Jack Russell, you can imagine how filthy rugs and upholstery can get in my house. Muddy feet and footprints, sticky hands, toilet accidents - human and canine - all add up to a serious amount of grime. So I had plenty of items to put the Bissell SpotClean to the test with.
I'm looking to redecorate my dining room, and thought there was no way I could keep the rug we currently have in there. While it shows zero signs of fraying or wear, the very obvious dirt, I was sure, would never be able to be cleaned to a point where I'd be happy to keep it in a sparkly new room. I also have an absolutely filthy foot stool, which I've been looking to re-upholster.
