BISSELL's goal is to help you improve the ways you take care of your home, right down to the microscopic irritants. Since 1876, we've spent years developing cleaning tools and formulas designed to keep your living environment up to the highest standards.

As lifestyles changed, the company expanded beyond the carpet sweeper and introduced additional products that helped people clean better while saving time. In the 1950s, Bissell invented a new multi-purpose formula and shampooer that reduced the time and drudgery of carpet cleaning. To meet the growth of smaller living spaces, Bissell introduced practical, lightweight cleaners that people could use quickly and store easily. And Bissell made deep cleaning (once the exclusive domain of commercial providers) available to everyone, including current carpet deep cleaners that feature a built-in heater to optimize performance. Additionally, Bissell recently acquired the Woolite® Carpet and Upholstery business, which includes its renowned line of carpet cleaning products. Even though the dust is now somewhat settled, Bissell remains focused on the future.
