Operation
Some models are equipped with a Scotchgard
protector post-treatment applicator and cartridge. Use
this, along with one of the BISSELL deep
cleaning formulas containing Scotchgard, to help
retain the carpet cleanliness achieved with the
ProHeat 2X machine. For best results, the post
cleaning treatment should be applied while the carpet
is still damp. It is recommended that the Scotchgard
protector be applied every 12 months to all clean
carpeted areas and after every deep cleaning for high
traffic areas such as entryways and stairs.
1. Immediately after cleaning and water rinsing your
carpets, empty the 2-in-1 water tank and refill the
heavy duty bladder with clean hand hot tap water.
2. Set Ready Tools dial to the tools setting.
3. Purge the hose to eliminate cleaning formula
from the tube by spraying clean water through
the flex hose (without attachments) into a sink
for 15-30 seconds.
4. Attach Scotchgard protector post-treatment
cartridge to the applicator tool, following the
instructions on the cartridge. Attach the combined
tool/cartridge to the hose. The water from the
2-in-1 water tank will automatically mix with the
concentrated Scotchgard protector post-treatment
formula contained in the cartridge.
5. Turn the Custom Clean dial to the water
rinse setting.
6. Before applying Scotchgard protector to
a large area, test in a small, hidden area
for colorfastness. Examine area when dry.
If color is affected, do not use. For use
on upholstery, look for manufacturer’s
cleanability code tag. Use only on fabrics
coded “W” or “WS”. If coded “S” or “X”, do
not use. Not recommended for use on velvet,
silk vinyl, leather or 100% cotton upholstery.
7. Apply Scotchgard protector in a slow
sweeping motion with a slight overlap of the
treated area. For best coverage, follow the
guide on the cartridge.
8. One 8 oz. cartridge protects 200 square feet
(18.6 sq. meters). This is equal to two average
size rooms, (each at 10 x 10 ft. or 3 x 3 meters).
Periodically check the level in the bottle to
ensure the best coverage.
