Blast away stains quickly

Advantages: Handy ready to use pack
Disadvantages: It is expensive if you have lots of staining

...As the owner of three cats and a puppy it is inevitable that I get the odd pet related stains from time to time so it is always good to know of a great way to remove them. I have long been a fan of the Oxyclean range of products and I always have a tub of the powder around for when I need it. However when I saw that Bissell had brought out an Oxy based product to remove pet stains from carpets I just had to give it a try. It is something of a unique product as it consists of two aerosol cans fixed together with a single cap unit which according the manufacturers 'activates the power of oxygen with a tough stain and odour fighter'. This 'pet' version is specially formulated to remove pets stains and odours from 'urine, vomit, faeces, blood and tracked in dirt'. How to use it It is really simple to use, you just bend a tab...

Review of BISSELL OxyKIC Pet

The Bissell 'Powerforce' (It sucks well)

Advantages: Great suction, Reliable, easy to use
Disadvantages: Not much fun carrying up stairs, Noisy

...and Charcoal Filter ~ captures dust & micro particles and eliminates smells The Bissell comes with a two year warranty. It has a very 'user' freindly instruction booklet which is well laid out easy to understand and includes everything you need to know including information about replacement parts. NOTE : When unpacking the hoover you will need to attach the handle which is packed separately, it's just a case of inserting a screw either side of the handle. USING THE BISSELL The Bissell 'powerforce' has great suction, however this suction will deminish if you don't clean the in-built filters on a regular basis. Bissell recomend you clean the filters once a month, if like us you have pets you may need to clean them a bit sooner. The filters are cleaned by running them under warm water and they need to be dry before they are re...

Clean up with Bissell

Advantages: Very light and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Not heavy duty, pointless on hard floors.

...I got the Bissell Quick Wash after spotting it in Tesco for a measly 70 quid. We have been planning to clean our carpets for some time. Bringing up 3 youngsters I shudder to think what lurks under my Shag Pile. So an impulse buy really, the idea being that hiring a cleaner wouldn't be very satisfying if that tummy bug comes back or my youngest fails his potty training test. I was quite impressed by how well it locked together with the minimum of assembly required. A Phillips screwdriver and three screws and you are there. The unit comes with a goodly supply of cleaning fluid, four bottles of carpet shampoo and two bottles of hard floor cleaner. This was a bit annoying as I had bought some extra, it doesn?t state they are included on the box. Although the unit is intended for carpet cleaning primarily it does come with a hard...

Carpets are cleaner and fresher with a Bissell

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: no problems as yet

...-line, from various outlets, also on major auction sites, look out for buy now prices, some are offering a much cheaper deal than others. I have had Bissell products in the past, and if this machines continues to do as well as its started, I can see no reason as to why I wont have from them in the future. As a house proud women I highly recommend this product, especially for Family households, with kids and pets etc. P.s I paid £218 for mine....

Bex Bissell carpet washer

Advantages: Really deep cleans and deodorises carpet
Disadvantages: Machine is heavy if you have to lift it

...I have had my Bex Bissell carpet washer for six months and it is very difficult to describe how good it really is. I have two big dogs ( dobermans), hence eight muddy feet, plus my husband ( I often think he must have eight muddy feet as well, the mess he makes and although I have stone floors in the utility areas to 'save' my carpets, they do get really soiled on occasion. Hiring a carpet cleaner I have done this several times and the machines have been fine, but they do not dry the carpets enough, and they are quite expensive. (£45 a day, plus the costs of the shampoo and defoamer). The Bex Bissell This is an upright machine and it looks like a slightly bigger than average upright vacuum cleaner. It is very simple to use - warm/hot water goes into a bucket with handle which you get to by releasing the handle...

Puzzling pets

Advantages: good puzzles
Disadvantages: None

...Orchard toys make many good toys and puzzles we have several of them at work. One of the toys we have is the box of 6, 2 piece puzzles of pets. These puzzles are suitable for children aged 18 months and over. I use them with older special needs pupils. Although the pictures of the pets are cute and big eyed they are not over babyish. Included in this set of 6 puzzles is a budgie, a dog, a cat, a goldfish, a hamster and rabbit all animals that children may be familiar with. They are good realistic colours. These puzzles are made of a thick durable recycled board. The surface is a wipe clean one. These individual 2 piece puzzles are shaped around the outline of the pictured animal no straight edges. Each one cut in approximate half. The way you fit the two pieces of each animal together is by the cojoining male and female...

Review of Orchard Toys Pets Puzzle

Pet insurance

Advantages: Peace of mind
Disadvantages: none so far

...the best thing to do was have him castrated at the vets. After spending money on his injections when he was younger and worming tablets and his regular check ups at the vets, she decided to buy pet insurance. I have a car policy with Endsleigh and have been happy with them for a few years so we checked out the pet insurance with them. It?s a costly thing to have a dog as vet fees are not cheap. The castration of a dog costs £180 at our local vets, add this to the worming tablets, regular check ups of weight and health when they are growing up and their injections and your looking at more than £ 400. This is without including any ailments that they might have in their life to come. We bought a policy from Endsleigh for £112.09 a year. You may think this sounds a lot but it is broken down into monthly payments which can be paid by...

Review of Endsleigh Pet Insurance

Bissell say WE MEAN CLEAN and I agree with them.

Advantages: Clean carpets and furnishing
Disadvantages: Heavy and cannot be used on hardwood floors.

...the machine out, did the entire three-piece suite and all the carpet. One very pleasant thing was the aroma, the cleaning solution left a really lovely smell, this was called Lemon and Grapefruit Fragrance. The combination sounded a bit strange but I can happily report that the combination worked. Since then I have gone right round the house and everywhere has come up so well. I did find the stairs hard, and the overall weight of the machine does make moving it from room to room not the easiest thing to do. I have also stuck to only using the Bissell fibre cleansing formula, they do say to only use this in their instructions, I have stuck by it purely because I like the lovely smell and the overall performance. This can also be used to clean Linoleum, vinyl and tile floors, as I have none of these in my home, I cannot tell you how good...
