Tight, Achy Neck? Melt Away the Discomfort With These 5 Yoga Poses

If you feel sore after staring down at screens all day (let’s be real, who doesn’t?), take note.

My couch is where I work, eat, and sit and talk with my partner (or my cat)—and the signs of heavy use are embedded into its seat. (Think food and drink spills and one too many pet accidents of both the wet and smelly variety.) To clean up messes, I’ve used all manner of spot removers and enough elbow grease to make me sweat, but to no avail. The reminders of messes past persisted: yellow-brown splotches of varying sizes that are all the more evident in sunlight. After many failed attempts to get rid of the stubborn stains, I sprung for the popular Bissell Little Green Carpet Cleaner ($125)—and if the TikTok ads and positive online reviews are to be believed, it could make light work of the task.

The Bissell Little Green skyrocketed to internet fame, as users filmed themselves using the spot cleaner to remove various spills and stains from carpets, couches, and other upholstered surfaces. In videos, you can see the machine sucking up a wide range of fresh and set-in stains caused by coffee, red wine, or condiments—catnip for overzealous cleaners like myself. My colleague and Well+Good senior food writer Maki Yazawa also sold me on the machine. She has owned a Little Green for close to a year, and it has been helpful in cleaning up after her two pets as well as other wet messes that arise without warning. As it turns out, much of the hype surrounding it is justified.
