Do you add this floor cleaner directly into the water tank? If so, can you use it in the tank of the Bissell Powerfresh Steam Mop?

No - you add it to a small container attached to, but not part of, the water reservoir. Don't know anything about the steam mop. Check the owners manual for that appliance and check the cleaner solution bottle for instructions.

Only use water in steam mops. If you add solution to it, it will clog up the the tube that goes into the boiler which could causes a pressure build up and explosion. This is to be used in Hoover FloorMates or with a mop and bucket

There are 2 tanks on the Floormate. Add the cleaner to the top tank, using the cap on the tank, and add water to fill. The bottom tank is used to suck up the dirty water. I don't know about the Bissel product. Hope this helps.

Yes, the detergent is added to the water. I have never used the Bissell steam mop. The label on this cleaner states it is safe for al Floormate products.

The floor cleaner does go into the fresh water tank of a floor scrubber like a Hoover SpinScrub. However you do not want to use in in a steam mop. The goal of a steam mop is to use hot steam to remove dirt and grime rather than using a soap. Putting this in the water tank will more than likely gum up the internals of the steam mop and break it. Only want to use clean fresh water in a steam mop.

It is put into the tank with water to use. I am not sure about the steam mop

I did add the cleaner directly to the water tank. I am not sure about the Bissell Steam Mop. I have the Hoover one.

Hi I love my Bissell cleaner! Yes, the tank fits in and sits securely in place. I believe it is meant to be removed easily for filling and dumping. When you place it into its position it should sit securely, but it doesn't 'lock' into position. Marcia

I use this mop with a red wringer bucket that i get from shoprite. I think it's also Ocedar. You could clean it in there, changing the water and wringing, repeating many times until clear. Or put bucket under tub faucet and dunk and wring out. I prefer saving my energy and washing in the machine.

No, but I do have an answer for you. I love my little Bissell, but I also have this, Hoover FloorMate SpinScrub with Bonus Hard Floor Wipes, FH40010B, and use it for my tile and wood floorings. It works well, and the floor is 99% dry when finished.

Wouldn't recommend it. The wonderful thing about the Bissell Steam Mop is that it really DOES get hot! When I've finished steaming and turn the mop off, I typically set it on a towel or something similar as it cools. The mop gets seriously hot -- which is why it works so well!

I imagine you can, but when you use this product for the Floor Machine, you only use a little bit and then add lots of water... it is very concentrate. For the Bisell Flip it floor machine, there is a canister that you fill, only about 1/2 " is Cleaner the rest is water.

NO!!! Never add anything to the water or it will clog the steam system. This mop uses the water to make steam only.

The solution is freat on wood floors. I use it with my Bissell Steam Cleaner. The soultion for tile floors performs equally well.

I have the hard floor vacuum and cleaner and not the steamer. However, you do mix it with water in the hard floor vacuum and cleaner. It is one ounce per solution tank.

Yes, you mix with water according to the instructions on the container. I spray the diluted mixture on the floor and steam mop after to clean the floor. I have porcelain tile flooring. Works great!

I used hot water plus a non-chlorine bleach detergent and added a chlorine bleach to the dispenser. You are right, lots of dirt on the Bissell pad; not so much on the Shark.

The answer is yes, I use it with the O'Cedar Ring & Spin mop to clean 3,200sf of tile. No problems at all, I add an ounce or two to the Ring & Spin bucket with the max level of hot water. I selected this because I can not tolerate the haze that appears after using Swifter or other hard floor cleaners I've tried. It has a pleasing scent and does a nice job. There are less expensive cleaners for sure but this is the only one, and I have tried way too many, that satisfies my taste thus far. Best wishes for a clean floor!

I don't know what other people do, but that's precisely what I do with a bit of it. I have the Bissell hand-held refillable scrubber. I fill if with 1/4 cleaner 3/4 water for quick clean ups. The scrub brush helps work the cleaner into the carpet and lift out the stain. How well it would work without the scrubber I can't say. When I go back to steam clean, once a month, I remove any residual cleaner that may have been left in the carpet. Hope that helps :-)

I don't think I would add anything to the clean water tank. If you are going to add baking soda, I would just lightly sprinkle it on the carpet and not run it thru the machine as it might cause an issue.

I have no idea. The floor steamer would not work. I tried everything. All it did was leak water on the floor. Sorry

When it's hot water in a non-heating unit the water temp is going down from the moment it is put in the tank. With a steam cleaner the water temp will remain constant. I used a Rug Doctor for carpet cleaning before I bought my Bissell. My carpet looks so much better now even the grape juice stain made by one of the grandkids.
