Between move-in day chaos, coffee spills, muddy sneakers, and the mystery spill on the communal couch, college living can get messy fast. And when you’re living in a tight space like a dorm room or first apartment, there’s rarely room to store a full-sized carpet cleaner. That’s where the BISSELL Little Green Mini Portable Carpet Cleaner comes in. Don’t let its compact silhouette fool you, this cleaner is mighty.

The Little Green Mini Portable Carpet Cleaner is BISSELL‘s lightest and most compact portable deep cleaner, making it easy to stash in a dorm closet, tuck under a bed, or keep in a small apartment. Despite its “mini” size, it sprays, scrubs, and suctions away dirt and stains from carpets, upholstery, and other soft surfaces.

Right now, the Little Green Mini is $90 instead of $100, making it the best time to snag one before heading off to school this fall. The deal runs through October 10, so you have plenty of time to add one to your cart before the semester gets into full swing. To sweeten the deal, BISSELL is also offering 20% off orders over $100 with code SCHOOOL2026, which is valid through August 24.

The Little Green Mini tackles stains in three simple steps: spray, scrub, and suction. First, fill the clean-water tank with warm water and BISSELL cleaning formula, then use the trigger on the 4-inch Tough Stain Tool to spray the solution onto the mess. The tool’s brush helps gently scrub the stain, while the machine’s suction pulls the dirty water and loosened mess away from the surface and into a separate dirty-water tank.

The compact cleaner comes with two specialty tools: the 4-inch Tough Stain Tool for treating messes and the HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Tool, which helps clear out the machine’s hose after cleaning. It also includes an 8-ounce trial-size bottle of Little Green OXY formula. Because it weighs just 7 pounds, the Little Green Mini is easy to carry from room to room and small enough to tuck into a dorm closet, cabinet, or other tight storage space when you’re finished cleaning.

For dorm rooms, apartments, and other small spaces, the BISSELL Little Green Mini makes it easy to handle stains before they ruin spaces. At under $90, you don’t want to miss the chance to snag one while you can save some cash. Don’t forget to use the code SCHOOOL2026 at checkout to save 20% off orders over $100.
