Little green machine?

[daves87rs]

I'm looking to pick up one of these little guys...


I've heard good things about them, but from the people who have used them, just how well do they work? (This one has heat also) Do they do a good job on the seats and carpets?


Two of my cars should clean up well, but my worry is with the wife's car. she worked in a few kitchens, and there are a few stains from them...

I have worked in a couple restaurants, not much gets out the stains from grease that builds up when you sit in the seat after work, you are going to want to foam the heck out of the interior with some upholstery cleaner and scrub with a clean brush and a little water, then go at the seats and floor with the green machine.

If those do not get out the stains a good steam cleaning will.

For her car I would recommend getting a thick seat cover if she drives home right after working in the kitchen with out changing clothes.

I have one I use on all the cars and trailer. It works pretty good. I have had it for about 2 years. Keeps the inside of the cars looking new and smelling fresh.

I have one as well and use it for detailing cars as well as cleaning things around the house. It has worked well. I think it is definitely worth the purchase.

Before I got my Mytee, I had a one and I must say, it worked pretty good for such a small machine.

It works and works well. Photo below is four year old mat that had never been cleaned just vacuumed. After a pre-treat with Folex this is ONE swipe with the Little Green. Although it heats the water hot water was poured in initially.

A little more effort:

The pics above illustrate the capability of the Little Green. I can't imagine my household ever being without one, both for interior home use and my three vehicles too.

Are the needed chemicals prized reasonably? I hope they don't use razor and blade pricing model!

It's the cleaning products used that define the results.

Most consumer type products at the stores are junk. Many are designed to increase demand for them! Take your favorite and evaporate the water out of it and see what the residue is like.

Gooey snot like means petroleum based and this residue is what attracts and holds dirt.

Learn where professional products are sold as these do not have the same agenda, and some of them are amazingly powerful, super safe and "green", and nearly residue free.

I have one and dump straight hot water into the tank to help it out. A good pre-treat on the carpet and then extract with hot water. It really works good for a small unit. I have a large heavy duty extractor, but this one is nice and portable.

How does it work on salt stains in carpet?

Starting to see them already :-(

I use a mix of purple power and water in the little green machine, it cleans fantastic. Just rinse material being cleaned and the system out with clean water after.

It works very well.

I have a LGM which I've used extensively to clean interiors of cars for others when I lived in Chicago.

IMO, dollar for dollar, this is the best thing you can buy for your car.

Mine is about 5 years old and it's still going strong.

They are great. I wore one out. Instead of replacing it, we bought a Bissell Proheat and can do the carpets as well with one machine.

Thanks Edmond!

Love mine. Do my interior about twice a year and keeps the upholstery not only looking good, but actually feels better to the touch. Buy the refill solution at Costco. It's about half price. I've found that pre-scrubbing bad spots with hot water/oxi-clean mixture works good when followed by the green machine, but if it isn't terrible, that's unnecessary.

I just mix a little laundry soap with hot water in a 5 gal bucket. I then use that to fill the LGM, which needs to be refilled about every 5 minutes.
