Bissell STAINPRO-6 user manual

According to the Bissell StainPro-6 user manual, the recommended ratio of water to Bissell cleaner solution is 1:1. This means that you should mix equal parts of water and Bissell cleaner solution when using the StainPro-6 carpet cleaner.

There could be several reasons why your Bissell cleaner is not suctioning properly. Some possible causes and troubleshooting steps you can try are:
1. Check the tank: Ensure that the water/cleaning solution tank is securely attached and properly filled. If it is not seated correctly, it may disrupt the suctioning process.
2. Blockages: Inspect the nozzle, hose, and brush areas for any clogs or blockages. Clear away any debris or dirt that could hinder suction.
3. Dirty filters: Clogged filters can restrict suction. Check the pre-motor and post-motor filters, located at the top and bottom of the machine respectively, and clean or replace them as needed.
4. Hose detachment: Make sure the hose is securely attached to the machine and the attachment is not loose or disconnected. If detached, reattach it properly.
5. Power settings: Ensure that you have selected the appropriate cleaning mode or power setting for the type of surface you are cleaning. Some models have multiple settings for different floor types.
6. Pump failure: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is possible that the pump may be damaged or malfunctioning. In this case, it is recommended to contact Bissell customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance or potential repairs.
It's worth noting that these troubleshooting steps may vary depending on the specific model of your Bissell cleaner. Always refer to the user manual or consult Bissell customer support for model-specific guidance.

To mix Bissell Spot and Stain formula with the Bissell StainPro-6 carpet cleaner, follow these steps:
1. Start by filling the clean water tank of the Bissell StainPro-6 with hot tap water. Make sure not to exceed the maximum water line indicated on the tank.
2. Now, add the recommended amount of Bissell Spot and Stain formula to the tank. The appropriate ratio is usually mentioned on the label or instructions of the formula itself. Follow the instructions specified for the desired level of cleaning.
3. After adding the formula, securely place the clean water tank back into the carpet cleaner.
4. Preferably, set the desired cleaning mode or adjust the cleaning dial on the machine to the chosen level of intensity.
5. Start using the Bissell StainPro-6 and spray the mixed solution onto the stained areas of the carpet, following the machine's operating instructions.
Remember to always consult the specific instructions for both the Bissell StainPro-6 carpet cleaner and the Bissell Spot and Stain formula for accurate and detailed information.

There can be a few reasons why your Bissell carpet cleaner is not picking up dirty water:
1. Clogged dirty water tank: Check if the dirty water tank is full or if there are any clogs in the tank's tubing. Clean the tank and remove any debris or clogs that may be obstructing the suction.
2. Dirty or clogged brush roller: The brush roller may have accumulated dirt or debris, which can hinder its rotation and prevent effective suction. Remove the brush roller and clean it thoroughly. Ensure that it is free from any obstructions.
3. Dirty or clogged nozzle: The nozzle is responsible for collecting the dirty water during the cleaning process. If it becomes clogged or dirty, it can restrict the flow of water and prevent proper suction. Clean the nozzle using warm soapy water and remove any built-up debris.
4. Weak suction power: Check if the vacuum motor is running properly. If the suction power is weak, it may be a sign that the motor or suction pathway is clogged or damaged. Ensure that all filters are clean and properly installed. If the problem persists, contact Bissell customer support for further assistance.
5. Improper cleaning technique: Ensure that you are using the correct cleaning technique. Move the cleaner slowly and steadily over the carpet, allowing it sufficient time to pick up the dirty water. Avoid excessive water saturation, as it may make it harder for the cleaner to pick up the water effectively.
