Brand of the Month – March 2023

A new month means a new Brand of the Month; and – perfect for Spring Clean season – our chosen brand for March is Bissell!

A Brief History of Bissell

In 1876, Melville and Anna Bissell owned a crockery shop where dust and breakages were a daily occurrence so Melville developed a carpet sweeping machine to keep the store neat and tidy. It was so effective that word spread, demand rose, and soon BISSELL® was selling far more carpet sweepers then cups and saucers – over 1,000 a day. When Melville Bissell died in 1889, his wife Anna stepped in to lead the business becoming the first female CEO in the US. She passionately defended the company’s patents and successfully marketed sweepers throughout North America and Europe. In the late 1890’s BISSELL® gained royal approval after supplying sweepers to Queen Victoria. Still family-owned, BISSELL® continues to operate with tradition, innovation and passion.

Floorcare Experts

With over 140 years of technical floor cleaning expertise, BISSELL® is the world’s number one for floor care in the wet and wash category. Generations of technical floor cleaning expertise have been applied to keep carpets, tiles, hardwood, vinyl and laminate smelling fresh and free from hair, dirt, dust and debris. Strong, versatile and simple to use with powerful suction and smooth, uninterrupted performance – with or without cords – there’s a model for every application and living situation.

Bissell & HBH Woolacotts

From 2006 right up until present day, HBH Woolacotts have supplied Bissell floorcare products and they’ve just gotten better and better with each generation. In 2023, Bissell is our largest range of floorcare. They’re a firm staff and customer favourite, thanks to their mix of convenient user technologies, well thought out accessories/addons and the signature Bissell quality we’ve all come to know and expect.

Our full Bissell range includes carpet washers, steam mops and multi-surface cleaners. As well as the floor cleaners themselves, we also carry a range of Bissell’s own cleaning solutions, which are the perfect way to get the most out of a Bissell floorcare appliance. We love the way Bissell creates quality products that help to make our busy customer’s everyday lives a bit easier; it perfectly matches our Happy to Be Helpful ethos!
