It works well on most stains, leaving no trace or residue behind.
-
It takes a while to work on deeper stains.
Of all the upholstery cleaning sprays we tried, this formula from Bissell was our absolute favorite. The spray works as a pretreat for deep cleaning or as a spot and stain remover and is suitable for rugs and carpets in addition to upholstery. It’s also made with biodegradable ingredients and is safe to use around kids and pets.
Applying the cleaner is super easy, as is switching modes from mist to spray. When we tested it, we found it effective at erasing stains and spills while leaving no lingering scent afterward. The formula comes in a large bottle for a low price, making it a long-lasting and accessible household cleaning solution you want in your tool kit.
The main drawback we noticed is that you might need to leave the spray sitting for a while to treat deep stains and odors, as it can take some time to sink in. Still, this is a small downside for an overall excellent product that makes a huge difference in your furniture's look, smell, and feel.
