Carpet cleaning and maintaining with the Bissell Crosswave

Carpets are never a cheap item in the house. Of course, we don’t have any complaints about the price because they’re so beautiful and can take your house to a whole new level. But because carpets are so valuable, it would be a shame to ruin them due to unprofessional cleaning and maintenance. If you’re looking for the perfect way to keep your carpet in good shape, check out our guides and tips on how to clean and maintain carpets with the Bissell Crosswave.

The Bissell Crosswave vs carpets

The Bissell Crosswave may strike you as a good laminate floor cleaner machine, that’s why not many people think it can be used on carpets. But the fact is, you can also clean rugs and carpets with the Bissell Crosswave. This machine can vacuum and mop at the same time, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use just one function if you want to. If your house is a combination of bare floors (laminate floors, tiled floors, hardwood floors…) and carpets, the Bissell Crosswave is a fair choice for a cleaning device. There’s no debating about how great the Bissell Crosswave is on the bare floor, so we’re going to focus on what we can do for carpets with this floor cleaning machine.



This section is called: Can you use the bissell crosswave on carpet: All of your questions answered. We made a survey and got some frequently asked questions about the Bissell Crosswave vs. carpets that people have in mind. Here are our answers for those unsolved mysteries:

Question 1: Can I use the Bissell Crosswave just for vacuuming?

Yes and yes! Not because the company said this machine is a 2-in-1 wet dry vacuum that you have to use both functions all the time. If you don’t feel like mopping, empty the water tank to use the Bissell Crosswave in only vacuum mode. We also tested it out and the result is remarkable. Give this function a try since you should frequently collect debris on your carpet.

Question 2: Is the Bissell Crosswave good for deep clean carpet?

For this question, we need your attention to fully explain our answer.

Since the Bissell Crosswave is not specially designed for cleaning carpets, we can’t say it’s good for deep cleaning the item. But we believe if you keep a tight cleaning schedule for your carpets by vacuuming them frequently, the Bissell Crosswave can easily deep clean your carpets. It may take a little more effort, but for a machine that can mop and vacuum so excellently, it’s still worth your money if the carpet is not the only thing you need to clean in the house.

Question 3: Is the Bissell Crosswave better for rugs than carpets?

The answer is yes. Since rugs tend to have shorter and sparser fibers than carpets, the cleaning effect is obviously better. But with good vacuum skills, we bet you can clean the carpets as well as the rugs.

Question 4: Can the Bissell Crosswave collect pet hair on carpets?

Yes and no. With the standard version, the Bissell Crosswave is not very good with pet hair on carpets. This is fairly understandable since every vacuum cleaner that is not a pet version can’t deal with the problem effectively. That’s why if you have pets in the household, better choose the Pet version of Bissell Crosswave for the best result.

In conclusion, the Bissell Crosswave is an excellent option for households with both bare floors and carpets. This machine is a reasonable spend for a multi-purpose cleaning device. But if you want to concentrate on the carpets only, you can check out the next segment.

Carpet maintenance guides and tips

A carpet’s expiration date depends mostly on how we treat the item. Even luxury carpet brands can’t last long if you don’t know the right maintenance way. So, we hope this “How long does a carpet last - A complete carpet maintenance guide” topic will help you know better about the process of preserving carpets. Now, let’s jump into the content.



Guide 1: Keep your carpet away from stains

If you have pets, keep them off the carpet as much as you can. Don’t eat or drink on the carpet, at least have a protection layer (a tray, a waterproof table cloth…). In short, keep your carpet away from stains. It’s always better than cleaning up after the disaster, right?

Guide 2: Vacuum frequently

Not only should you have a tight vacuum plan, but we also talk about daily vacuuming if you can. The more you vacuum, the longer your vacuum will last. It would be better if you have a powerful vacuum cleaner for the task. We recommend upright models since they’re strong enough to work with thick carpets.

Guide 3: Clean the stains immediately

Whether it’s coffee or paint, when you spill something liquidy on the carpet, treat the spot right away. Don’t leave them there because you can’t get them off your precious carpet once they’re embedded into the fiber. Store a few common cleaning solutions in the house for these emergencies.

Guide 4: Steam cleaning is necessary

If you have some stains on your carpet from the past, it’s a good time to consider a steam cleaning session. It’ll help you get rid of embedded stains and eliminate bacterias from your carpet. A steam session also helps your carpet smell better and look better.

Guide 5: Professional cleaning is not overrated

We know many of you don’t like to spend money for a professional to clean your carpets because we don’t know if they know anything better than us. But at least they have more experience than us because they do the task every day. When it comes to annual clean-up, make sure to have professionals taking care of your carpet. The money you spend for them can help you save your carpet from mistakes by your inexperience.

Sure, carpets are not easy to maintain. But when you really dig deep into the process, you’ll find out that it’s not as hard as you thought. Keep these guides in mind and with the help of modern cleaning devices, a long-lasting carpet is not out of reach.
