The Bissell ProHeat Pet Deep Cleaner is a carpet deep-cleaning system used to remove dirt and pet debris from carpets and other surfaces. The unit includes a built-in hot water heater to increase the cleaning results, as well as 12 rows of brushes, microbial protection and a 12-amp motor. If either the small or large belt on the carpet cleaner becomes damaged, cracked, split or broken, replace the belt. Removing the old belt(s) to put on a new one should only be performed by an adult when the vacuum is unplugged from the power supply.
