GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Meticulously cleaning floors with various surfaces typically requires several tools, several steps and lots of time. Families living on-the-go with jam-packed schedules don't always have time to perform a thorough clean—switching between the vacuum, mop and bucket, broom and more. To make floor cleaning less of a chore, BISSELL, a leader in cleaning solutions and floor care, is introducing the CrossWave, a revolutionary multi-surface cleaning system.

The CrossWave vacuums and washes your floors at the same time —freeing up busy schedules and over-filled storage closets by eliminating the need for multiple cleaning tools. This all-in-one product also transitions seamlessly between hard surfaces and rugs, giving you a great clean on your hard floors as well as freshening up your area rugs.

The CrossWave was designed as a better way to get a great clean for the more than 85 percent of households that still own a mop and bucket.* With this floor care advancement from BISSELL—the mop and bucket, which often creates more of a mess than it actually cleans—may finally be a thing of the past.

"At BISSELL, we're constantly looking for ways to simplify and improve cleaning, giving people more time to spend with loveable mess-makers—whether that's their kids, pets or a kitchen mixer," said Scott Smith, BISSELL Brand Manager. "The CrossWave is the next generation of clean, designed to streamline busy lives with a single, easy-to-use, all-in-one product."

Key product benefits include:

Simultaneous vacuuming and washing saves time and provides a deeper clean for floors
The dual action multi-surface brush roll rotates at 3,000 RPM and mops floors while picking up debris
A two-tank system keeps cleaning solution and dirty water separate—unlike a mop and bucket
SmartClean Fingertip controls make the transition from hard surfaces to rugs and carpet seamless
The innovative multi-surface formula cleans hard floors and freshens up area rugs
Swivel steering allows for maneuvering under furniture and reaching into tight corners
