Genesis 950 Review & Giveaway From Everything Home Life

Genesis 950 Review & Giveaway From Everything Home Life

It's time for Spring Cleaning and Everything Home Life is kicking off the season with a review and giveaway for Genesis 950. Everything Home Life was started in 2014 by Katriza. She had heard about Giveaways online and began looking into some to enter. As a stay at home Mom, with another on the way,  she took to blogging and created an amazing site where she could host her own Giveaways, write reviews and share ideas for like minded people.

We were lucky enough to have her take the time to review Genesis 950. In doing so, she really put the product to the test and showed why it is the perfect cleaning product for any home.

Although Genesis 950 is an all purpose cleaner, one of the most popular uses for it is cleaning pet stains. It works better than any other cleaner because of the way it interacts with stains. As a surfactant based cleaner, genesis 950 works with water to break the bonds of stains. When this happens, a stain then becomes water soluble. At that point, a stain can be broken down and then rinsed away from the area. This is perfect for breaking down pet stains such as urine, feces or vomit. But it does more than just remove the visible stain. Genesis 950 also contains antibacterial components. Because of this, it does not just neutralize odors, it destroys them. This is very important with pet stains. Pets will often return to an area where they smell urine. If the odor is not removed, your pet may keep going in that spot making it even worse over time. 

Katriza was able to use Genesis 950 on pet stains. In her example, her dog had an accident on the carpet. She used Genesis 950 in a carpet cleaning machine at a ratio of 1:4 (Genesis 950;water). You can clearly see after just one application, the visible stain has been removed. What people often forget when cleaning pet stains, is that the stain is not just on the surface, but the urine seeps downwards into the padding. By applying multiple applications, you not only remove what is on the surface, but you also remove what has seeped below. 

As an all purpose cleaner, Genesis 950 works great on multiple surfaces to remove multiple stains. With a small child in the house, spill and stains are ever present. Furniture and of course carpet, can easily be cleaned with Genesis 950. Whether spot cleaning, or cleaning with a machine, Genesis 950 can make your furniture and carpet stain free. In these examples, Katriza was able to clean some stains off her furniture, as well as remove strawberry stains from carpet. 

One of the hardest surfaces to clean is stainless steel. It can capture every fingerprint and smudge imaginable. Especially when they are used daily. Katriza used Genesis 950 to clean her stainless steel microwave. As can be seen, it brought back that shiny gloss that we love.

One of the trickiest types of stains to remove is paint. Genesis 950 can actually remove old, dried paint from various surfaces. Katriza was able to remove old paint stains from cabinets and tile. 

It can also take grime, dirt and buildup off surfaces. From floors, walls, door and cabinets, to furniture and carpet, Genesis 950 removes old buildup to make your home look new. Even appliances themselves can be cleaned up. Here, Katriza used Genesis 950 to remove dirt from her Kirby's wheels and plastic coverings.

After using Genesis 950 on several surfaces, Katriza came to this conclusion:

Genesis 950 Cleaning Solution: The Verdict

I had a great experience with this product and its’ company.  I had questions about the ingredients used in this product as it’s not listed on the label itself.  I was told this product’s ingredients are proprietary information but I was very thankful to be given a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to be able to confirm the validity of this product’s claims on being green and biodegradable.  I was also able to confirm that the most common hazardous cleaning product ingredients are not in the Genesis 950.  As you see from testing this product on different surfaces and stains, it truly does work!  I love that I can use this for so many things instead of having to buy individual cleaners for specific areas of my house making this product very cost effective.  In most cases, I only used the 1:7 dilution ratio and a simple rag to clean each surface.  I didn’t need to use any other tools or use extensive scrubbing to get most stains out, though I did have to use 2 or 3 applications on tougher stains.  Overall, I would highly recommend using this product for all your household cleaning needs as it’s incredibly versatile and safe!

Best Cleaning Products

Naturally, our favorite cleaning product is Genesis 950. Nothing cleans like it. It's an all purpose cleaner that removes the toughest stains. Genesis 950 has been saving carpets and removing makeup, coffee, wine, juice, soda/pop, paint, marker, pet stains and more for years. As a surfactant based cleaner, it works with water to get into the stain, break it's bonds and lift it to the surface. A green cleaner, it is safe for your home, your family and your pets. There are no harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia. Being a surfactant, it is free of soaps, which provides a deeper clean. In addition to cleaning, it kills germs and bacteria, deodorizing the areas it cleans. Genesis 950 is by far the best stain remover and all purpose cleaner available.


There are several other cleaning products we do love though too! Genesis 950 is an amazing cleaner. When used in a carpet cleaning machine, the results are astounding. Our favorite steam cleaner is the Bissell Pro Heat 2X. The machine is extremely easy to use. It has the general shape and feel of an upright vacuum cleaner. What we really like about this machine is the ease of the compartments. There is a compartment for fresh water, a compartment for cleaning solution, and a compartment for returned water. The compartment for solution sits in the back of the machine and detaches for easy fill up. When placed in the machine, you can control how much solution is used for your cleaning by changing the setting of the machine. It allows you

to choose various settings such as rinse, low, medium or heavy. This makes the machine very easy to use because you do not have to pre-mix the solution and water. The machine does it for you.While the heavy setting is most beneficial for heavy traffic and pet stains, it does drain the solution from the compartment fairly quickly. In instances where a general cleaning is being performed on carpet, the low or medium setting will maximize your cleaning solution. When cleaning, the machine has soft bristles that rub the solution into the carpet. It also has a plastic lip which makes extracting excess water in the carpet easy. The return water tank is large, so it holds a lot of water and you do not need to empty it every time you run through the fresh water. Despite being large, the return water tank is very easy to remove and empty. It locks in place, and detaches easy with a handle for easy carrying. Once you have cleaned your carpet, it is important to rinse. The Bissell Pro Heat allows you to use the machine on a rinse cycle, only releasing fresh water. This allows you to properly rinse the carpet after it has been cleaned. The machine's return water tank is clear. This is a nice feature because it allows you to see what is being removed from the carpet. You can easily continue the rinse cycle until the water starts returning clear. With this, you can really tell when the carpet is actually clean. An added bonus to this machine are the attachments. The attachments allow you to clean upholstery, drapes or small isolated stains. We have tried this machine using several cleaners. None of those cleaners had the impact of Genesis 950. While a machine in itself can be beneficial, it is essentially what you use in the machine that makes a difference.

Here's a Before & After of a carpet cleaned with the Bissell Pro Heat & Genesis 950:

When cleaning the bathroom, one of the best things to use is the Scotch-Brite Easy Cleaning Pad. The Pad is made by 3M, so immediately you know there is quality there. While the pad compliments itself as being a sponge you can use without any other cleaning products, we use it with Genesis 950. When Genesis 950 is mixed 1 part 950 to 7 parts water, and then sprayed on a surface, it breaks down the stains and lifts them from the surface. This makes cleaning the bathtub, toilet, sinks and stove tops a breeze. Naturally, once broken down, the stain needs to be wiped off. This is where the Scotch-Easy Cleaning Pad comes in. The sponge has 2 sides. One side is textured, and the other like that of a traditional sponge. Generally, Genesis 950 will break down things you normally have to scrub to remove. If the buildup of the stain was too heavy that it did not all break down, the textured side of the Scotch-Brite pad gives you that extra bit of friction to scrub off whatever you are cleaning without damaging the surface. Once the stain is ready to be lifted, simply flip the pad and wipe it down with the sponge side. Brilliant! While we do love this sponge for it's duality, our only complaint is that the textured side can deteriorate quickly if over saturated or bent repeatedly.

Gloves come in handy when cleaning. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, you do not want your skin touching some of the chemicals in cleaning products. Many cleaners have damaging properties. Genesis 950 does not have anything that will damage skin, but some people prefer to wear gloves because of how Genesis 950 works. Being a surfactant cleaner, it can draw the oil from your skin, promoting dryness. Gloves however are not needed. Another reason gloves come in handy is based on what is being cleaned. Naturally if you are cleaning a toilet, or bathroom area, you do not want to be touching dirty surfaces. Gloves

serve as a barrier. There are many types of gloves available. Our favorite are the Playtex Living Glove. These gloves are far superior then any other. They have a nice tight fit over the fingers. The portion that covers the forearm is unlike any other glove. This portion of the glove is long. These gloves run well past your forearm, and cover a lot. In addition to being long, they have another unique quality. They are not tight, yet at the same time, because of the latex, they do not slide down. They stay in place and there is not a constant need to push them down. They also have enough room that if you are wearing a long sleeve shirt, you don't have to roll your sleeves up. You can actually fit the glove over the shirt! If you have an overhead cleaning project, or are reaching upwards, the gloves allow for you to roll them up at the arm end. This will catch any running or dripping water, rather then have that water run down the length of your arm. Another positive feature of these gloves are the textured ridges to the fingers. You can hold things without them sliding through your fingers. The textured fingers also allow you to scrub anything that might not be coming off while cleaning. Finally, these gloves last a loooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggg time.
