Why is my Bissell SPOTCLEAN 36984 not picking up cleaning formula?
- LLarry SwansonJul 28, 2025
There are several reasons why your Bissell Cleaning Equipment might not be picking up the cleaning formula: * The upholstery/carpet tool position might be poor - reposition the tool on the surface, following recommended cleaning procedures. * The Dirty Water Tank could be full - empty the tank. * There might be excess formula in the Flex Hose - lift the tool and point it upwards to allow water in the hose to flow into the Dirty Water Tank. * You might be using the incorrect cleaning formula - use BISSELL® 2X Portable Machine formulas only. * The Dirty Water Tank might be improperly seated onto the base - remove the tank and reseat it onto the unit. * The Dirty Water Tank plug might be unplugged - push in the tank plug until properly sealed.
