When BISSELL recently invited me to participate in the 2012 White Sock Challenge, I was scared to say yes — our carpets are gross. We live on a dirt road. We have two kids running in and out {while forgetting to take their shoes off at the door}, a dog, a messy bird and lots and lots of dust. In spite of all that, I said yes!
The challenge was to walk around on my carpets wearing a pair of bright white socks. Then use the BISSELL Lift Off Deep Cleaner to clean it and try the sock test again. I wasn’t sure what to expect and am happy to say that I am really surprised by the results.
The Features
The BISSELL Lift-Off Deep Cleaner is 2 machines in 1! This upright steam cleaner will give your carpet a deep-down clean plus it has removable spot cleaner!
- Portable spot cleaner cleans stairs, car interiors and more
- Surround Suction® for edge-to-edge cleaning
- Built-in hot water heater for maximum cleaning
- Includes stain tool for hard-to-reach areas
- 12 cleaning rows on 2X DirtLifter® Powerbrushes
- Sprays, scrubs and suction cleans carpet
The Results
I knew it — my floors were yuck! Check out how dirty those socks were after I took the white sock test! {Check out my White Sock Test YouTube video!}
Also, the portable spot cleaner is awesome! Chris has already mentioned that he’ll be using it to clean the seats in his truck! I have plans to use it in my car and maybe even the camper, to freshen things up a bit! The 2X Professional Deep Cleaning solution that came with the LODC is amazing! My home smells fresh and clean and the carpet just FEELS clean for once.
Thanks BISSELL!

Wow, that’s a big difference on the socks. We only have carpet in one room of the house, Jake’s room upstairs and no animals are allowed in there. That being said, he’s a teenager and even though the carpet is brand new, it’s still icky. I would love to try this on my furniture though. Ginger is adorable!
What’s nice about the Lift-Off is that you can also use it for your cars! That would justify buying one for just one carpet ;)
isn’t it amazing what a good product can do? i love bissell!!
Man, that’s awesome! My grandma has white carpeting and last week she and my aunt were on their hands and knees with a towel scrubbing it. I wish she’d had this to use!
I have that exact machine and I LOVE it!
I definitely need a Bissell. With three kids and a dog, I’m scared to see what my socks would look like.
That’s amazing! We used to have a deep cleaner for our carpet, but it is long gone and I need another one. Thanks for this review. You’ve got me thinking…
I didn’t mention it in the post but I actually have another older Bissell. I hardly ever use it because it’s large and a pain to lug around and the hose and attachments are always falling off of the base while I try to use it — just not fun. This Lift-Off cleaner has none of those problems, I really think it’s a great little machine and really versatile!
that little machine looks amazing. I love the white sock test how fun I wouldn’t try it with my machine that’s for sure
White sock hard floor test….any recommendations?
Wow, your floors looks amazing. We have an older Bissell and love it. Isn’t it disgusting the water? It amazes me everytime I do the carpets!
That’s awesome! I have the Bissell Spot Bot and I love it! It’s just got the spot cleaning features, but a full-on floor cleaner would be phenomenal.
Sounds like a must have for me with 5 cats and 2 dogs
