How does this differ from Bissell Stain Pretreat for Carpet & Upholstery? If they are redundant, which works better?

From my experience, I really haven't noticed a difference. I do like the Oxyclean treatment one as the stains seem to disappear instantly, but I also use the Bissell carpet cleaner for allergies and pet stains. It comes in a green plastic bottle and can be purchased at Kmart. Hope this helps.

I use the pre treat occasionally and the oxyboost every time i clean.I have used them interchangeably

I don't think the OXYgen Boost is meant to be a pretreat. It's meant to be used in conjunction with the BISSELL 2X Pet Stain & Odor Portable Machine Formula to better remove stains. I'm still on the fence about the OXYgen Boost and don't always use it. I've never used the Pretreat so I honestly can't say.

works on old stains as well as new stains! LOVE this, its a whole lot easier than dragging out a giant heavy carpet cleaner.

Its more of a spot cleaner., not a all over room cleaner. So the smaller the space the better if you want to do a whole room. The carpet does not exactly get "wet" more as damp. If done correctly the floor dries rather quickly. If your a little heavy on the water the floor can take quite a while to dry, but it also depends on the type of fabric.

Used it on carpets and rugs, full strength and diluted, without damage. I regularly use it in my Bissell carpet shampooer, coupled with a spray bottle to pre-treat tough stains.

I've never used the Professional version, but I've used the Pet Plus Platinum. I was pleased with the results, so I re-ordered it. I have pets and use Nature's Miracle enzymatic cleaner as a spot cleaner, then use the Pet Plus in the machine. I actually felt that I got better results by doing this than by having my carpet professionally cleaned. I hope this helps.

Every piece of information I have on this product states it is for carpet use. Personally, I wouldn't use it in the laundry. There are other products I would use. If the item is white I would probably use bleach unless the material wouldn't tolerate it. I have also used vinegar in the water. I have found that regular washing removes the stain and odor. You might try emailing Bissell and asking them. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help.

I would use it to presoak along with a carpet steamer w/(attachment hose) for car upholstery, multiple times if needed., you may even need to pre treat the material w/ a brush and a detergent depending on the type of upholstery., the jumbl steamer should have more than enough pressure to break apart various stains.

I purchased the Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine Professional Grade Carpet Cleaner, 86T3 - it is costly $549 but I believe well worth the investment. I also purchased the Square Trade Warranty. We have had numerous cleaners - including a commercial grade cleaner. This cleaner, in my opinion, studier (the plastic is not flimsy -made like a Tonka toy!), easy to put together (I did it without instructions is was that simple), easy to clean (Hoover products have a lot of hard to reach places to clean and some areas impossible) and, best of all does a superb job - thoroughly cleans and does not leave the large water residue.

I have no idea, but this stuff gets the toughest pet stains out of our off white carpet. It also removes all scent which probably retards the pet from reoffending in the same spot. I ordered some for my son and his wife after their cat left some stains that NOTHING was working on and it removed all the 6 month old stains with 2 applications.

Sorry Vicki I cant help you with ur question as I purchased the spray bottle.This product is pretty amazing and it actually works on carpet stains.What i can tell u is,spay the area and put a paper towel (Ex. Bounty) over it with a heavy object on it,you can even use the bottle it self to.put on top,and just let it sit there for ten minutes and you"ll see the difference

I like the advance better. The smell and the strength of the cleaner is better. I will order the advanced stain one from now on.

I've only used it on a "regular" carpet and a Berber carpet. In addition to new stains its gotten out old stains in both. Hope that helps.

No it is not effective on older, set-in stains. I have a chihuahua and small yellow stains on my carpet and it did not get them out. It is also more time consuming than I thought.

From previous research, owning another brand and then use of this one, I definitely give this one a thumbs up. It is not something that lifts out stains which you should know by the description of how it works but it does a good job for that which is stated. Excellent on ceramic floors, much easier than a mop. Since you have a small dog I would like to mention that it is also great on carpets. I add a drop of pure essential oil specific to my purpose, sometime fragrance, sometimes to disinfect. It steams the carpet but does not leave it wet. Great for fending off any potential mold, fleas, germs, etc. Hope this helps answer your question.

There is a Hoover brand cleaner that you can use. One for carpets and one for floors. I use Zep brand commercial carpet cleaner in mine that you can buy in a gallon size. I use the same dilution as what Hoover recommends. Filling the cleaner holder and topping off with water. I have had no issues and using the Zep cleaner and it has removed many tough stains.

I had a carpet stain that I pretreated and then used The Monster. I don't think it would have cleaned the stain had I not pretreated but it did lift the nap of the fabric back to it's original state. I don't think it's great as a carpet cleaner.

We've had it for over a year, and have found that a sponge and soapy water have cleaned any stains pretty well. If we ran into a worse problem, I'd likely try carpet/upholstery cleaner, but no need yet.
