It took the Little Green Portable Spot Cleaner by Bissell to help this parent realize that every home with carpet is in need of a steam cleaner. The Little Green system is not only a great way to attack as-they-are-made spills, it also helps removes dirt spots left on the floor (as well as snot spots left on the sofa by the kids — there, I said it).

This system is “green” in more ways than one – actually, two. Part of the tank, the hose and the brush head ARE actually colored green, but the true green in its name refers to the earth-friendly features, such as the PVC-free water tanks and hose as well as a brush block made from 100 percent recycled plastic. The box and packaging are also mostly made of recycled material while the formula used by the Little Green is EPA Design for the Environment certified.

The system is both compact and powerful and comes with a 15-foot power cord as well as a flexible handheld hose, all effective in reaching tough spots potentially found on the sofa, stairs or even in your car. (Hmm, how about those soda stains on the car ceiling?) Unlike other steam cleaners, this is a handheld model, which allows the user to be close to floor level and readily able to apply the amount of scrubbing and arm-power needed. The Little Green also features a trigger-spray button allowing instant application of as little or as much spray needed for removing those tough spots.

The Little Green is easy to use from the start and just requires hot water and the Little Green formula; at many locations, this formula sells for less than $10 for a 32-ounce bottle. The Little Green is $76.54 through walmart.com and comes with a one-year limited warranty as well as a sample size of Little Green formula.
