You can use any cleaner in a Bissell crosswave. You can use bleach, detergent, vinegar, and other cleaners in your Bissell crosswave. They will be fine, and the Bissell motor will mix them properly and give you an excellent cleaning. Additionally, you can use the vacuum cleaning option.
What can I use instead of Bissell cleaning formula?
To use, pour one cup of white vinegar into the Bissell’s reservoir tank. Fill the tank the rest of the way with hot water. Then, use your Bissell as directed. If you have heavy stains, you can mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, then spray it to pretreat stains.
What liquid can be used in Bissell crosswave?
If your Bissell Crosswave is still under warranty, you will void the warranty if you use anything besides their recommended Bissell cleaners. For this reason, you probably shouldn’t. But if you aren’t worried about the warranty, then technically, you can mix bleach water, vinegar, or just about any other cleaner.
What formula can I use in Bissell crosswave?
BISSELL® Multi-Surface Formula is engineered to work with our innovative CrossWave® and SpinWave® machines. It also works in our JetScrub™ Pet Carpet Cleaner.
Can I put Pine Sol in my Bissell CrossWave?
The main reason not to use cleaners like bleach and pineSol is they can damage your crosswave. They can eat away at the seals and gaskets and end up either breaking suction or allowing water to go where it shouldn’t. For the longevity of your unit use the suggested solutions.
Can I use simple green in my Bissell CrossWave?
Yes, we use that sometimes and sometimes a more harsh cleaner depending on what room we us it in (doggie daycare).

Can you use Fabuloso in a Bissell crosswave?
A: I have used Fabuloso for the last 2 1/2 yrs. Fill the canister to a level half way between the fill marks. Then add Fabuloso to top line. Works great on tile floors.
Can I use any cleaner in my Bissell?

Can I put Fabuloso in my Bissell carpet cleaner?
