"I usually go for Woolite Instaclean, but its price has skyrocketed, so I decided to try this product. I’m happy to say it works just as well, and I think it smells better too. I’m not going back to Woolite!"

"I’ve used Resolve Foam Cleaner before, but this product really outshines it. I didn’t even follow the instructions and it still worked perfectly. No scrubbing or rubbing needed—it lifted the stains effortlessly!"

"Years ago, my sister introduced me to Folex, and I've always kept a bottle on hand since then. This stuff really works—no questions asked! It's versatile for spills, pet accidents, and even mud. I spot-check fabrics, but I've never had any discoloration issues. No strong odors, either! I plan to keep using this product indefinitely."

"This cleaner is simply amazing! It tackled tough stains, including cat urine and even a five-year-old beer stain. Using it was easy and well worth the investment. I can't recommend it enough!"

"I couldn't be happier with the Bissell Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. It has truly surpassed my expectations. As a parent and pet owner, dealing with spills and stains is part of my life, so finding a reliable cleaner was essential. After trying several options, I decided to try this one, and I'm thrilled that I did! It works remarkably well on carpets and upholstery, effortlessly tackling even old, stubborn stains. What I appreciate most is its ability to eliminate odors rather than just mask them. Even after pet accidents, there's no lingering scent—just a fresh, subtle aroma. I feel confident using it regularly, as it’s gentle yet powerful enough for tough stains. Plus, the pack of four 12-ounce bottles offers great value while ensuring I won’t run out anytime soon. I highly recommend BISSELL Woolite Advantage for maintaining a clean, fresh home!"

"I was initially skeptical about how well the Bissell Woolite Advantage Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner would handle a difficult red wine stain on my light-colored carpet, but it exceeded my expectations. The stain was lifted remarkably well, leaving little to no trace. The formula is straightforward to use, and the pleasant scent doesn’t linger. I’ve also had great success using it on upholstery, making it a lifesaver for keeping my home in top shape!"

"I’ve been using these cleaners for a while now and have them set on auto-ship because they’re so effective at removing stains. The included scrub brush is a fantastic feature, and the scent is nice too! However, I did encounter a problem with my last shipment—the nozzle was incredibly hard to press down, requiring both hands to get the foam out. I hope this was just a one-time issue, as I didn't experience this in previous orders."

"I had a very soiled entry carpet that was starting to smell before hosting a dinner. I was surprised at how well it cleaned; the odor completely vanished and barely any traffic patterns were left visible."

"As a long-time pet owner, I find that Resolve works wonders when used as directed. It's truly the best product I've found for cleaning up pet accidents."

"I always keep this carpet cleaner handy for spot cleaning. Just spray it on, let it sit, and dab it up with a towel. It gets the stains out completely!"

"I recently tried the Hoover Paws & Claws Carpet Cleaning Solution, and it has exceeded my expectations. As a pet owner, I have dealt with countless messes, but this product stands out. The cleaning power is exceptional, removing even old, stubborn stains and odors. After tackling some nearly two-year-old vomit stains, they vanished completely. Plus, it leaves a refreshing tropical breeze scent that makes my home smell wonderful. I used it with my Hoover Professional Series SmartWash, and the results were outstanding!"

"I bought this cleaner for my carpet cleaning machine. I really like the scent, and after adding a bit of peroxide, it effectively removed spots on the carpet left by my sick cat. Overall, I’m quite pleased with it!"

"We always opt for a pet cleaner, and this one does a great job on our carpets. It leaves a fresh smell once dry. I use the wash mode, going over areas twice, then suck up the cleaner several times. Finally, I run the water mode to get the solution out and suck up the water at least five times for the best results."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well this product worked on my car's upholstery. Although it isn't marketed as an auto cleaner, it certainly performed like one. The only downside was the awkward distance I had to maintain while applying it, and the trigger made it hard to aim accurately. Still, I was very happy with the results and will definitely be purchasing more."

"I typically don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this product. After seeing several commercials, I decided to give it a shot, even though my stains were over two years old. The application was straightforward, and while it required a bit of elbow grease, it did a fantastic job on my rugs. The smell was pleasant, too! I’ve already started recommending it to friends!"

"As a retired carpet cleaner, I was initially skeptical about this product’s claims. However, for $20, I thought it was worth a shot. I tested it on a ten-year-old stain in a rehearsal room, and after three applications, it removed about 85-90% of the stain. I even used it on newer stains, and those disappeared completely. It’s definitely worth the investment!"
