Do you have to use this product in a cleaning machine. I don't have one and don't want to buy one.

This product was formulated for use in carpet cleaning machines,if you don't want to purchase a unit you could rent one for around $20 and it would make a great improvement using this cleaning formula that is one of the best on the market.

Not needed though it does make for easy clean up .. .and speaking of keeping your toys clean. ALWAYS get a good toy cleaning product to keep the toy fresh, clean, and lasting a long time.

I love my machine. I have used it on tile, but because of the brushes it did not have a good seal for suction. No big deal. It does a great job scrubbing. You will just have to run a mop lightly across it at the end to get the little bit of water that is left. I highly recommend it.

Why would you want to? Bissell makes a fairly low-cost concentrated cleaner specifically for its machines. One bottle goes a long way. Also, if a homemade cleaner messes up the machine, I don't know if the warranty would cover it.

The cleaning container is just plastic, so you should be able to. This little machine is terrific, I ordered extra cleaning pads and put them in the washing machine. I am very pleased at the way it cleans floors.

I have one and i would not recommend washing it in the washing machine. Its better if its really dirty to hose it off with a water hose. I think a washing machine would just mess it up.

I used it with my machine but I didn't put it inside. I put it in a spray bottle and sprayed it on the carpet snd then used the carpet machine to suck out the moisture. Worked great. I love this product.

Absolutely! The Bissell will clean better. You really don't want solid dirt in the machine. It will still find some though. I vacuumed thoroughly twice and the Bissell still had some grit in the dirty water.

No, if you don't use water in the machine then the dirt will go directly towards the filter and clog it. This will create a substantial decrease in suction.

No. It is not necessary to vacuum after use.......but you really need to get a vacuum.

I'm not sure. You may not need to. It cleans really well and a little conditioner goes a long way.

I don't think you need to rinse the carpet. I never did. The water with soap is released, then it gets sucked back to the machine. It did not damaged my carpet.

Yes, In fact this machine does not require a lot of cleaning. I just rinse mine with water and then wipe it with paper towels.

No. I have used it on carpets to freshen without the mop. Just the steam, but does not clean.

I'm not sure why you would want to use it with another cleaner. I would be careful mixing any 2 cleaning products for fear of unforeseen chemical reaction. This stuff is easy, sprinkle it on, brush it in, wait at least 30 minutes and vacuum. The end.

It is not designed for that use. It can be a spot cleaner for carpets to remove grease, tar and oil. And to clean bathrooms and floors. I would think to use it in a washing machine would be akin to using something like Pinesol on one's clothes. In other words, overkill.

There is an add on that you can buy to do the cleaning. I do not have it due to my shop not supplying the cleaner to use it
