The portable gadget also works on carpets and car interiors.
Since I live in a tiny New York City apartment, my home inevitably gets dirty fast. My roommate and I share just about everything in our small living space, including her two-year-old black velvet couch, which highlights every dust bunny and crumb left behind. It didn’t take long before we started looking for an upholstery cleaner to seriously deep clean the furniture piece.
With limited storage space, I knew it was essential to find something compact that could hide in a cabinet. After seeing several videos and raving reviews of the viral Bissell Little Green Machine on social media, I knew I had to give it a go. The cleaner’s portable design, powerful suction, and versatile cleaning abilities impressed me so much, I had to show off the shocking results on Real Simple ’s Instagram .

I was pleasantly surprised by the initial unboxing of the gadget, which laid out clear instructions on how to piece the major parts together and start cleaning. I was expecting to feel overwhelmed by how to operate the machine, but it was simple, which makes sense as to why our team awarded it the “easiest-to-use upholstery cleaner.”
