Bissell's Little Green Carpet Cleaner took the web by storm, and it's down to $99

The viral Bissell Little Green combats everything from stubborn pet stains to red wine spills.

Wait! Before you rip up that dingy carpet in your living room, might we suggest letting the No. 1 bestselling Bissell Little Green Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner have a go at it? This mighty stain-buster took social media by storm a few years ago, thanks to its portable size and downright dramatic results. And influencers aren't the only fans — over 60,000 Amazon shoppers are converts, and Yahoo's own home and garden editor is also a fan (check out her full Bissell Little Green review). Snag it on sale for $99 (down from $124).

It might be called the "Little Green," but you'll save yourself a Lotta Green when this workhorse restores your stained rugs. 

$99 at Amazon

While this isn't the absolute best price we've seen — it's dipped down to as low as $89 — it typically doesn't drop that much unless there's a major sales event happening, and $99 is still one of the best prices we've seen. Plus, when you consider how much money it'll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement carpet or furniture), it'll pay for itself in just a few uses.

All you have to do is see the amount of grossness the Bissell Little Green removed from the couch in the TikTok video above to understand how powerful it is. If it was able to extract that much grime from a relatively clean-looking couch, just imagine what it could do for a soiled one...

Its main attachment, the 3-inch Tough Stain Tool, offers strong spray and suction to lift stubborn stains from all types of fabrics, and you'll also get a HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Tool that'll rinse out the hose after you're done using it. Plus, it comes with a trial-size bottle of Bissell Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness so you can go to town on those stains right away.

To use the Little Green, just fill its 48-ounce clean water tank with water and cleaning solution, plug it in and voilà! Not only will it target unsightly spots, it'll also help minimize the odors that may accompany them. At under 10 pounds, it's on the lighter side for a deep cleaner, and it's versatile enough to use on carpets and furniture — even car interiors. Plus, the 15-foot cord is long enough to keep you from having to find a new outlet every five minutes.

"Bought this shortly after getting a white couch and white carpet installed, and boy am I so glad I did," raved one impressed shopper. "So far it has removed dried muddy paw prints, ink, permanent marker, dog poop, dog vomit, dried blood, grease, dried blue oil paint, chocolate and red wine. Every time I think there's no way this could possibly fix this new set-in stain, it wows me every time."

"I rented a Rug Doctor a few weeks back, as one of my cats has been marking my couch … man was it heavy!" shared another happy buyer. "And for a 24-hour rental and cleaner, it cost me almost $75. This Little Green machine pays for itself after one use. It is easy to maneuver, lightweight and honestly pretty stylish for an upholstery cleaner. Love the color."

Even the pros approve. Said one, "I owned a carpet cleaning business for 14 years ... This little machine is great; has a lot power and does a great job. I will be using it on my furniture and carpet in the car. You can't go wrong with this one."

Several users brought up the same note as this otherwise satisfied reviewer, who wrote, "The tank is small, and you will have to refill if you plan on any significant space, but so far I really like it. ... I had a (rare) pet accident that had sat for too long, and it cleaned it like it was a fresh stain. I’m sold."

"My only complaint is about the cleaning solution itself, which smells awful and gave me a headache," wrote a final fan. "The smell wore off in a day or so. But the machine itself is great. ... Worked as expected on my filthy car seats that got really wet and dirty while camping. They look 95% back to brand new."

This compact helper has a 15-foot cord that should keep it in range of your grimiest spots.

And for dry messes, Amazon shoppers also swear by the Bissell Featherweight Stick Vacuum.

At under 3 pounds, this is one dust devourer you won't mind schlepping around the house. Plus, it converts into a handheld vac.

"This vacuum seems incredibly powerful ... and it weighs less than my chihuahuas!" wrote a content cleaner. "I feel like I'm holding almost nothing. It actually feels like I have a much more expensive vacuum in terms of power-to-weight ratio."
