Tired of scrubbing on your hands and knees to get rid of carpet stains? Save yourself time and effort with a device like Bissell’s Little Green Cleaner. We vigorously tested the dynamic machine, and with its impressive probability and efficiency, we named it our “Best Overall Upholstery Cleaner.” Snag it now for up to 28 percent off for Black Friday.

How does the Little Green Cleaner work? All you have to do is spray the area you want to clean with the included stain tool, and then rub the brush over the dirty spot. The bristles scrub out stains while sucking away debris. When we tested the device, we found that it effortlessly removed set-in stains in around one minute without significant scraping—much easier than using just your hands and a sponge.

Bissell Little Green Multipurpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner

While we thought that having additional attachments for larger areas would be helpful, we didn’t have any difficulty cleaning with the included tool. In addition to rugs, we used the cleaner on other upholstered surfaces, including furniture, car seats, and drapes.

The cleaner was one of the lightest options we tested (weighing about 10 pounds), making it easy to transport from room to room. Not to mention it has a nifty handle on top and a 15-foot cord that won’t restrict you from moving around. The compact size means it won’t take up too much storage space, either.

Though it’s small, the device has a large 48-ounce tank that you won’t have to refill frequently. We appreciate that there are separate sections for clean and dirty water, too. Plus, it includes a self-cleaning tool to rinse out the hose when you’re finished using it. The Little Green Cleaner also comes with an 8-ounce bottle of Spot and Stain cleaning fluid to use inside the device. The formula contains Febreze to leave your carpet or couch smelling fresh, which is particularly helpful for pet messes.
