Do you have kids?  Then you have stains!  And since you have stains, you NEED a Bissell Little Green Machine.

I really don’t know how I survived my life before I got this amazing little machine delivered to my door.  We have a big carpet shampooer/steamer thing.  It’s huge.   But I’ve always appreciated having it…came in handy after all 3 boys suffered a stomach bug!  Well, wouldn’t you know that one of the twins conveniently suffered a stomach bug right after I opened my new Bissell?  Yeppers.  I was actually happy the little guy was sick because it meant I could really try the thing out.

Let me not get ahead of myself here.

My Bissell arrived at my door courtesy of Wal Mart and Bissell in conjunction with Wal Mart’s Earth Month celebration.  Wal Mart currently has a You Tube channel devoted to environmental tips and reviews.  I made a couple videos that might end up on there before the end of the month.   How’s that for special?  One of my videos happens to be the following Bissell Green Machine review.  Take a look…don’t laugh!

The thing I loved most about this little machine?  It REALLY works!  And it works fantastic!  As you can see in my video, it took that dining room stain up in no time at all.  I don’t even know what that stain was it had been there so long.  But as I mentioned above, Dennis got sick like 3 days after making my video and he barfed all over the hallway.  I just whipped my Little Green Machine out and had the stain cleaned up lickety split.  Before I had this machine, I would have wasted an entire pack of baby wipes cleaning it up.  How’s that for not being environmentally friendly?

Speaking of environmentally friendly…Bissell has put a lot of thought into this version of the Little Green Machine.  They took out all the PVC from the holding tanks and hoses, built it using no less that 50% post consumer recycled plastic, they reformulated the cleaning solution and they repacked the machine with all cardboard…no styrofoam or PVC inserts.

And the boxes make for fun, too!

So this month, do yourself, and the Earth, a favor.   Get yourself a Bissell Little Green Machine.  You can buy one right from Bissell, or you can pick one up from Wal Mart.    I promise that you won’t be disappointed by this compact, powerful and Earth friendlier little machine.

Oh, but wait a second…..
