For years I've been hunting for a small machine to clean my tiled garage floor. Because the flooring has snap-in hard plastic tiles, manufactured for garage flooring, my professional carpet cleaning service has refused to use their floor cleaning machine on the area. They said their machine has too much water flow and would force water down between and under the tiles. Made sense to me but, then again, a bucket and mop simply didn't clean the floor. The surfce looked dull and dirty no matter how often I mopped. I needed something with a stronger scrub action.............and then I discovered this little Bissell machine. I can control the amount of surface water applied and the scrubbing action really cleans each large plastic floor tile. My garage floor now looks fantastic. It took 3-4 times of cleaning, due to the long buildup of soil, before the floor was back to looking great but now maintenance is easy. I constantly, when opening my garage doors, receive compliments from delivery drivers, neighbors and friends on how nice my garage floor is. And it's all due to this wonderous little machine!!!!!
