When cleaning carpet I know you add water but where does dirty water go when cleaning carpet?

The dirty water is vacuumed into the same water container. A plastic barrier separates the clean from the dirty water, which is then spilled out when done.

They call this type a bladder shampooer...the water goes in a hole at the top and the dirty water comes in and goes around the bladder (vinyl)..the disadvantage is you have to make sure to use all the cleaning water because when you go to pour out the dirty water it will come out one hole and the clean will pour out another. So they go in the same area.

The dirty water from the carpet is sucked in by the vacuum and placed in the container that you add water to in the back.

You add the water to the bag that is situated inside the plastic canister. the dirty water goes into the plastic canister surrounding the bag.

This machine has a two part chamber. you fill one part with the cleaning fluid and water, the dirty water drains in the separated chamber. Makes using the machine easier and more efficient to use.

the bucket has two sections. clean water in the middle and the dirty water goes in the outside section of the bucket.

The clean soapy water goes into a bag set inside the container that yu fill from the top. The dirty water goes around it. The steamer will shut off when it is full but don't wait for that as yu will have no more clean water to spray. The bag will be empty of clean water as you just used it. When yu pull it out, empty the dirty water by pouring it off the side. Good cleaner for the price, however, it will not last past 8,000 square feet, especially if yu have a dog. My 1st one lasted doing hard cleaning of entire 3500 sq ft house, 3 times.

I use the wash cycle at the beginning of cleaning my carpets, followed by a rinse cycle after the shampooing is done. I will usually do one cycle of each, unless an area is SUPER soiled. Then I will do two wash cycles (make sure to soak up excess water between each wash and each rinse cycle to keep the carpets from getting over-soaked) and then two rinse cycles. This seems to work as my carpets are AMAZINGLY clean.....even cleaner than with the "professional" rented machines out there!!!

You rinse the filter. There is a switch you turn to bare floors. It's a great vacuum. Highly recommend it.

No, it doesn't clean the carpet, but does come with a 'carpet attachment' which allows you to shoot steam over the surface of your carpet and freshen it. I've also added lavender essential oil to the reservoir along with the water, not sure if they recommend you do that, but it freshens the carpet with a nice added scent and helps to sanitize.

No, it leaves the floor so wet you have to wipe the water up. How it could ever clean carpet is beyond me!!

You need a carpet cleaning liquid in with the water. Fill the cap of the upper tank with the cleaner and pour into the tank and then fill to the line with hot water. I used the cheapest cleaner I could find and it worked great.

I really do not have an anwer for that. I was not happy with mine and returned it because it did not clean any spots on the carpet. I am just being honest about the product.

easily wipes clean with tepid water most of the time. If spills are liquid cleans well with damp cloth if stain identified while wet. Carpet cleaner on dry unknown stains that did not respond to tepid water. Janq

Put it into the bissell where the water goes and it mixes in with the water. Empty out the dirty water, add clean water and more cleaning product and start again. It cleans great. I use it on my wooden floors.

I found that my carpets weren't 100% dry--slightly damp afterwards. There may be a clog in your hose. As per the instruction guide, put clean water in a shallow dish and use the little green to suck up the water to unclog/clean out the hose.

The tanks are separate. The clean water is in a bladder. As you use the clean water, the bladder shrinks and dirty water goes into the canester that surrounds the clean water bladder. You can really see how much dirt you are picking up. Yes, you definately can use the setting for water only. The brushes help raise the nap on carpet. Was very satisfied with performance.

If I'm understanding your question. the water is going from the bottle into the machine, but not coming out onto the carpet. I had the same thing when I first got it. You have to loosen the blue collar around the base of the handle and extend the handle all the way up, then tighten the collar again. For some reason, this is necessary for the unit to work properly. Hope this helps you.

Just a water solution. But I like that after I clean with solution I can spray clear water suck it up and make sure the floor is really clean and rinsed.

Yes. You need a cleaning liquid. They emphasize using a Hoover brand specifically. I bought mine on Amazon. I also rinse the carpet after washing with one part white vinegar to two parts water. I find this helps to get rid of residue that attracts dirt.

There is a balloon like lining in the tank itself. You fill this with water. As you are cleaning this empties & the dirty water fills in around the outside of the liner. Just dump out the dirty water , rinse & refill. Works great.

The dirt is held in the mat on the bottom of the steamer. When you are done cleaning you put the mate in the washing machine and the dirt is all gone!

A little. I have been using an alcohol based cleaner instead of the Bissell brand (see my previous question response on this subject). It is a little damp but I don't know of any water based carpet cleaner that would not leave some dampness.
