HydroSteam® Technology: Unleashing the Power of Clean
Introducing our most recent innovation for your cleaning arsenal—BISSELL® HydroSteam® Technology. Now you can use the power of steam vapor, water, and formula to easily clean tough messes on hard floors, carpets, and upholstery. But what does HydroSteam® Technology really mean? How will it help you tackle those everyday messes — like sticky syrup — easier? We’ve talked with the experts who developed this technology to explain what makes HydroSteam® Technology clean messes better.
What is HydroSteam® Technology?
Simply put, HydroSteam® Technology is a unique heater and fluid delivery system that combines steam vapor, water, and a powerful cleaning solution — working in perfect harmony to clean even the most stubborn messes.
How Does it Work?
Let’s get into how the magic happens. Inside each machine outfitted with HydroSteam® Technology, there’s a built-in flow-through heater with a temperature sensor that transforms water into powerful steam. But it doesn’t stop there! The vapor is mixed with BISSELL® cleaning solution, creating a powerful combination that’s delivered directly onto your cleaning surface. There’s also no need to worry about excess moisture because the steam vapor, heater wattage, delivery system, and flow rate are meticulously optimized for each product, giving you ultimate cleaning efficacy tailored to your needs.
Why Do You Need it?
Let’s face it, life is messy, and sometimes those messes are sticky and stubborn. Whether it’s the remnants of a sticky spill or the aftermath of a slime-making extravaganza, these messes have a way of clinging to surfaces. That’s where a cleaning machine with HydroSteam® Technology becomes your superhero sidekick. With its powerful combination of steam vapor, water, and cleaning formula, it dives deep into the stain, penetrating and dissolving the stuck-on mess. Because of this, the stains release their grip on hard surfaces, fabrics, or carpet fibers. And here’s the best part: the powerful suction whisks away the loosened mess straight into the dirt tank, effortlessly banishing even the worst spills and set-in stains.
What’s the difference between HydroSteam® Technology and standard steam mops?
When it comes to cleaning, not all steam is created equal, and that’s where HydroSteam® Technology truly shines. With its specialized heat, it can generate steam based on the surface it’s cleaning. Unlike a regular steam mop that relies solely on steam, our HydroSteam® Technology combines water and formula, ensuring no mess is left behind. With HydroSteam® Technology, you have the power to choose the right steam power for the best cleaning results.
Which machines feature HydroSteam® Technology?
This technology is currently featured across three BISSELL® machines: CrossWave® HydroSteam® wet dry vacuum and the Revolution® HydroSteam® upright deep cleaner, and our newest, Little Green® HydroSteam® portable deep cleaner. Our revolutionary CrossWave® wet dry vac uses HydroSteam® Technology to tackle tough, sticky messes (like spilled syrup) on hard surfaces, including sealed hardwood, linoleum, granite, tile and more. The Revolution® carpet cleaner uses HydroSteam® Technology in two of its powerful carpet cleaning modes: Steam pretreat mode to penetrate sticky messes (like slime) and then SteamWash™ MAX Clean Mode to clean your carpet 2X better*. And our latest innovation, the Little Green® HydroSteam® portable deep cleaner, tackles pet messes 50% better in SteamWash™ mode, and cleans even the toughest stains on carpet and upholestry with three powerful modes.
