Should this be diluted, or used straight? I have a Bissell ProHeat machine, but the detergent tank doesn't have any water level marked on it.

According to Bissell: 1) Vacuum area to be cleaned. 2) Shake bottle and use formula according to machine user guide: b. For other full size machines and rental machines: add 1 capfuls (2.5 oz total) to each gallon of hot tap water.

In my opinion it is better to dilute it yourself. That way you will be in control of how much it is diluted.

I would assume 50% to be diluted because it's only half. 100% would not be considered diluted in my opinion. When I purchased this product it worked great, and I would buy it again. I definately reccomend it.

I believe that was probably an accident in the description. I have both the shampoo and conditioner and the conditioner needs to be diluted 7:1 (it says it on the bottle), but I always just used the shampoo straight and it was fine.

I live in San Antonio and the people at the pool and spa supply store told me not to worry about alkalinity just the ph up and down. So i dont use alkalinity chemicals . As for the other two they told me to dilute before putting into tub because they might be harsh on the tub. I use the foam down and the bromine tablets also. Leisure time is recommended by the store as well. Also, wait about 15 minutes between chemicals

I used non-distilled water. It didn't work either way. The water dripped through the bottom of the machine, all over my dresser (and the electronic components inside) rendering it useless (many of the reviewers had the same problem...defective). Save your money. :-/

I agree with the vinegar solution - I do dilute mine to about 50-50. However, I can taste the vinegar afterwards, so I run a couple of water only cycles after the vinegar to finish up.

Probably not. it will mix with the water that steams from the other canister that says WATER. I found that the Hoover Steam Cleaning Solution worked best and I did not dilute it. Even then I had to go over the floor twice to get yellowing areas up.

I really went over the carpet several time drawing out as much of the moisture as possible and then it took a couple of hours to dry to the touch. A trick I was told by a carpet manufacturer was not to use cleaner in the water, but to spray the cleaner on he carpet then clean with the clear hot water in the Bissell. This way you can apply moisture without adding more cleaner. I believe it let's you "rinse" and suck the cleaner & dirt better. Just my opinion and that of a manufacturer. Seems to work very well.Hope this helps.

There is a cleaning fluid that should be used with the machine. Plain water can work but will not be as effective.

Hi Margaret, please follow cleaning instructions that came with your machine. Thats what i do. Put clean water in tank and flush system after use....

Yes it should be diluted with another oil or butter. I googled it before use. You should as well to get the full understanding of the amount to be used.

I use it in mine, I stopped measuring how much a long time ago. I fill the soap dispenser half way with it, turn on the machine, then add the soap after it's been washed into the machine before the water has stopped running.

Yes, I did. I read he instructions and just mopped it on with one of those string mops and let it dry. I don't think I diluted it with water.

Hi, Actually the directions call for not this product not diluted and certainly not mixed with bleach or other products. This small bottle would get expensive to use all the time and the eucalyptus sent did not last long after cleaning the floor. Certainly not a good value. I would used distilled water and maybe eucalyptus oil drops or other scents. Hope this helped and good luck!

Do not dilute it. Put it, as is, in a spray bottle and mist it on your ceramic tile, stone, or laminate floor. Then mop it with a microfiber mop. Let dry. It cleans and shines. By the way, Bona(a Swedish company) also makes the mops to go with this product.

Mine came through a dealer, and so was serviced. Direct shipments often arrive with a partial fill that has to be completed before first used. There should be instructions on what to do, depending on your shipment option. Always check the level before using.
