Things You'll Need

  • Hot water

  • Cleaning formula

The Bissell PowerSteamer ClearView is a carpet cleaner equipped with a clear portion of the cleaning and recovery tank, allowing users to view their current progress and empty the tanks as necessary. The unit also includes a set of power brushes, built-in cleaner and a floor nozzle window that provide carpets with a deeper clean than a standard vacuum. Using the PowerSteamer is a fairly simple process but should only be done by adults because of the use of chemicals, heat and electricity.
