A: Yes—you do need to mix it with water. The BISSELL 2X Deep Clean + Refresh formula is a concentrated solution, so it should be diluted according to the fill lines on your carpet cleaner’s tank.

Q: How much do you need per cleaning or fill of the tank?
A: Great question! For the BISSELL 2X Deep Clean + Refresh Carpet Cleaner Formula (model 1052), you'll typically use about 2.5 oz (or 5 capfuls) per full tank of clean water in most upright carpet cleaners. Always check your machine’s fill lines or user guide to be sure—it may vary slightly by model.

Q: Can this be used with the Bissell Little green Max machine?

Q: Is this solution safe to use around kids?
A: Great question, fef. Yes, this formula is designed with families in mind—it contains no heavy metals, phosphates, or dyes, and it's made with biodegradable detergents. While it's safe to use around kids when used as directed, we always recommend keeping cleaning products out of reach and allowing carpets to dry fully before letting children play on them.
