Genesis 950 Green All Purpose Cleaner & Stain Remover

ALL PURPOSE CLEANING

Is your cabinet of cleaning supplies cluttered with half empty containers of cleaners all designed for different jobs. Maybe a stain remover for carpet, a cleaner for tile, a couple different pet stain removers (because the first 3 you tried didn't work), a cleaner for the tub and another for the oven? How many times have you thought about throwing away a bottle or two just to have some room in your cabinet? But, because you spent so much on the cleaner, you are hesitant to throw it out.

Genesis 950 makes life easier when it comes to cleaning. Genesis 950 simplifies cleaning. Instead of needing a cleaner for each task, Genesis 950 is the cleaner you can use for everything. Imagine opening your cabinet and instead of a basket full of cleaners, you just have one bottle!!

As an all purpose cleaner, Genesis 950 can be used throughout the house. Remove pet stains from carpet and drink spills from furniture. Easily clean greasy stove tops and ovens. Use it in the bathroom to remove soap scum and mildew from showers and tubs. Clean woodwork and trim, remove smudges from doors and walls. Take it outside and clean siding, cement and outdoor furniture. The uses are endless.

If the phrase "All Purpose Cleaner" makes you think the product is less effective, you haven't tried Genesis 950 yet. As an all purpose cleaner, Genesis 950 works a little different that traditional cleaners. Genesis 950 does not contain the harsh chemicals found in most cleaners. Such cleaners rely on the chemicals to create a reaction with the stain in hopes of breaking it down. Not Genesis 950!

Genesis 950 is a surfactant. This type of cleaning relies on water. Genesis 950 is sold in concentrate form. It needs to be mixed with water to become active. Once Genesis 950 and water are introduced to a stained area, the 950 works to make the stain water soluble. Once water soluble, the stain looses it's adherence and breaks away from the surface. At that point, it can be rinsed away.

Being concentrated, you save money. If Genesis 950 is used as a general cleaning solution, it can be mixed as low as 1 part 950 to 7 parts water. This essentially turns 1 gallon of concentrate into 7 gallons of cleaning solution. of course there may be instances where you want to increase the ratio. Typically, we recommend filling a spray bottle with 1/3 950 and 2/3 water. This is the best ratio to have on hand. It allows for general cleaning and more moderate stains and spills. If you do have 2 spray bottles, fill one with each of the different ratios so you have a cleaner for the basics and a more advanced cleaner for tougher stains.

General Cleaning

Genesis 950 can be used throughout the house. Clean kitchens and bathrooms with ease. For general cleaning, spray your mixture of Genesis 950 and water onto the stained area. Give it a few minutes to soak into the stain. Once it has soaked into the stain, you will be able to wipe the stain up. Typically, Genesis 950 will allow you to wipe away things you normally have to scrub. In some cases, if the stain is extremely difficult, you may need a second application, or an increase in the amount of 950 in your solution.

Use Genesis 950 throughout your kitchen. On stove tops, you will be amazed at how easily Genesis 950 breaks down grease splatters, food spills and burnt areas. Simply spray the stains, give it a few minutes, then wipe them away with a damp sponge.

Genesis 950 can revive tile floors. It works to pull dirt and dust from deep withing the pores of the tile. Remove years of buildup in the grout as well.

Bring stainless steel to life by removing all those fingerprints and smudges.

Clean counter tops, sinks and so much more.

Genesis 950 works wonders in the bathroom.

Remove water stains and buildup on fixtures. Take a close look at your faucet in the bathroom. If you look where the metal from the faucet meets the porcelain, you might see a fine layer of grime deep within that space. Genesis 950 can break it down with no scrubbing required.

In the shower, remove pink mold, mildew, soap scum and water stains.

Easily clean around the base of the toilet.

Genesis 950 is safe on all the surfaces in your bathroom. Granite, ceramic, tile, porcelain, chrome, and metal can all be cleaned with Genesis 950.

REMOVE PET STAINS

Pet owners swear by Genesis 950. If you have a pet, you know pet stains are inevitable. We've had amazing feedback from customers who have collectively removed every kind of pet stains you can think of.

Feces, urine, vomit are the most common pet stains Genesis 950 can remove. But it can also remove stains from less common instances. For example, we had a customer amazed because Genesis 950 was able to clean up everything after a dog had puppies in the living room! We've heard from customers who have remove blood stains from a nail trimmed to close to the base. Genesis 950 removed blood stains from urinary infections or other health related issues for several customers. Then there's muddy paws. From winter slush in the North, to red clay in the South. Genesis 950 can clean it all.

Customers constantly state that they had carpet they were ready to replace but didn't want to spend the money. Genesis 950 is often a last ditch effort before replacing carpet. Genesis 950 has saved customers thousands of dollars by restoring carpet, removing stains AND removing odors.




For older pet stains, or pet urine odor in carpet, Genesis 950 works best in a carpet cleaning machine. This allows the solution to get into the padding and properly break down the odor causing bacteria. If odor is an issue, spot cleaning the surface will not do anything to remove pet smells from carpet. That odor needs to be removed from the padding. Additionally, a carpet cleaning machine will also be able to get the solution deep into the carpet fibers. In most cases, the end result is not only a clean carpet, but a carpet that is soft to the touch.

Pet owners are constantly struggling with pet stains. There are endless brands and types of pet stain removers. Some for cats, some for dogs, some for urine, some for carpet, some for hardwood . . . the list goes on and on. Those products can also be pricey. Why waste money on several different cleaners when Genesis 950 can combat them all?

Many pet owners try to go with the least expensive route possible. Typically this ends with a DIY pet stain remover recipe. These recipes can be counterproductive as the ingredients can increase indoor urination, or not effectively remove stains.

The Problem With DIY Pet Stain Recipes

VINEGAR - Nearly every DIY pet stain remover recipe calls for vinegar. Vinegar is a natural cleaner because of it's acidic properties. It is inexpensive, and it is commonly found in homes. However vinegar has an acidic base. Pet urine has an acidic base. Pets urinate based on where they smell they have gone before. because the acidic properties of urine and vinegar are similar, they have similar scents. Cats and dogs are not able to distinguish the two apart. because of this, if they smell vinegar in the carpet, they will think it is urine, and continue to go in that spot. So if your pet keeps going in the same spot, even though you cleaned it with vinegar, you now know why! DO NOT use vinegar to clean pet stains. 

BAKING SODA - Baking soda is included because of it's ability to neutralize odors. However neutralizing odor and removing it are two different things. When you have pet odor, you don't want it to just be covered up. You want it gone. Baking soda will not do this. Another thing baking soda can't do is remove odor from the padding. Treating pet stains with baking soda may only minimize stains on the surface. It can not get into the padding. If you somehow were able to get it into the carpet padding, it would clog the pores to the carpet and damage your carpet cleaning machines. Even in powder form you run the risk of blowing out your vacuum engine. As the tiny particles are pulled into the machine, they can clog the filter. If you have ever had a vacuum burnout, think back to whether you had used any powder based cleaners. If you use a carpet cleaning machine, baking soda becomes paste like. This will in turn damage your machine as well. 

SOAPS - Soap based cleaners include laundry detergent and dish washing soap that are used in some DIY carpet cleaning recipes. Soap should never be used in carpet. Period! Soap works through a process where it attracts dirt. The purpose of soap is to bring the dirt and dust, or in this case pet stains to a central point. However in carpet, as the soap based cleaner moves downward, it brings that stain with it. Eventually, soap gets in the padding. Have you ever had a stain seem to go away but then come back some time later? Reflect on what you used to clean it. It was most likely a soap based cleaner. As humidity changes, all that collected dirt moves upward and your stain is back. Unfortunately many brands of carpet cleaning solution are also soap based. You may also find a resin or slime like film on your carpet fibers. Genesis 950 can actually break the soap residue down and remove that from the carpet as well. 

GENERAL CARPET CLEANING

If you don't have a pet, Genesis 950 can still be used on carpets to give them an amazing deep cleaning. Genesis 950 removes pollen, dirt, dust, food spills and stains and heavy traffic areas. The results of cleaning carpet with Genesis 950 will leave you amazed.

 

CLEAN FURNITURE

Genesis 950 can also be used on furniture. Use it as a spot cleaner for food and drink spills, ink smudges or makeup marks. For a deep clean, use the attachment hose of any carpet cleaning machine. Genesis 950 can be used on leather, cotton, polyester, suede and microfiber. We even have antique dealers who use Genesis 950 to clean delicate fabrics like satin or oriental rugs!

 

 

Simplify your cleaning with Genesis 950. It is the only cleaner you need in your house for everyday chores as well as those difficult jobs. 

Remove Pet Stains, Urine & Odor From Carpet And Furniture

How To Remove Pet Stains

Genesis 950 is the best pet stain remover for everything from visible stains on the carpet surface to pet urine lingering in the padding. Genesis 950 is different from other pet stain removers. Instead of using enzymes or soap, Genesis 950 works as a surfactant. A surfactant interacts with a stain to reduce tension. Such a reduction causes the stain to break away from the surface it has attached to. Simplified, it means that Genesis 950 allows stains to become water soluble and break down for removal. 

Genesis 950 is a versatile cleaner. It is sold in concentrate form. This means you are getting an industrial strength cleaning product. For it to work properly, water needs to be added. While Genesis 950 breaks down stains, the water added to it makes it water soluble. A little bit of Genesis 950 goes a long way. For general cleaning, typically a mixture of 1 part 950 to 7 parts water will break down most stains. In some cases, especially where odor is the issues, a higher ratio may be used to properly break down odor causing stains in carpet padding. 

Genesis 950 can be used in a number of ways. Here are three common ways Genesis 950 can be used to remove pet stains and odors. 

Everything Home Life Genesis 950 Review

When urine in the carpet is creating odor issues, we recommend that Genesis 950 be used in a carpet cleaning machine. This will ensure that the solution cleans the padding as well as the surface. if you have odor issues, cleaning carpet surfaces will NOT remove the odors. Urine travels downward into the padding. Once in the padding, the smell will persist until the padding has been cleaned. A carpet cleaning machine has the power to saturate the padding, as well the suction to pull everything from the padding up past the fibers. Using a machine will also ensure every fiber in the carpet is evenly and thoroughly cleaned. Cleaning the fibers will revitalize the color of your carpet as well as leave it feeling soft and plush. In this review by Everything Home Life, you can see in the final photo how new the carpet looks. It is evenly cleaned, and plush enough to leave wheel tracks on the carpet. 

The Small Things By Bre Genesis 950 Review

Carpet can also be spot treated. in The Small Things Genesis 950 review, isolated stains were spot treated. Spot treating is perfect for stains that are fresh. It is also good for stains that do not include urine. Vomit, muddy paws, and feces are ideally treated by spot cleaning. While Genesis 950 can remove visible urine stains by spot cleaning, it is still recommended to machine clean urine based stains as the urine seeps into the padding. Spot cleaning will not remove urine odor from below as previously discussed.

Organic Sunshine Genesis 950 Review

Spot cleaning can be performed on carpet, furniture, rugs, hardwood, tile and any other surface.  In instances where surface stains have odors, such as this feces stain, Genesis 950 can remove the smell. Organic Sunshine reviewed Genesis 950 and in addition to removing ink stains from a rug, Genesis 950 was used to clean this pet stained rug. As seen in the photo, Genesis 950 does more than just clean the stains. It removes dirt, dust and debris. In this case, it brightened the rug!

One of the hottest trends in cleaning right now is homemade recipes. There are two reasons that the household remedy trend is on the up rise. First and foremost, cost. Typically cleaning solutions targeted at pet stains can run between $20 - $30 for a bottle. While this cost may very well be worth it in the event the cleaner does what it claims, far too often those cleaners do not meet the pet owners expectations. As a result, people end up giving up spending money on a cleaner that won't work. Let's face it, a gallon of vinegar costs less than a bottle of pet stain remover. The second reason household cleaners are favored is because people are become more aware of what is being used in their home. Many cleaning products release harsh chemicals that can provoke allergies, skin irritation, impact the respiratory system and have a prolonged effect on blood cells. Once again, vinegar seems more safe than an aerosol spray.

Homemade cleaning remedies however are not an effective means of cleaning pet stains. Vinegar is most commonly recommended as a natural cleaner for removing pet stains. It is a natural agent free of man made toxins. Vinegar is an acidic based agent with a pH level of 2.4. This slight acidic base gives vinegar the strength to break down various elements without damaging carpet or furniture. Theoretically, it sounds like a good idea. For a brief period of time, the area cleaned with vinegar may in fact seem cleaner and smell better, however over time, urine smells may worse. 

Animals urinate based on instinct. Dogs go outside and smell around to find spots where they have gone before. Cats head to a litter box based on scent. Urine has a pH level of 4.5 - 8. Your pet, whether it is a cat or dog, can pick up on this scent and the similarity in odor between the scent of vinegar and urine can actually draw your pet to go to the bathroom in that spot again. With vinegar, instead of removing the problem, you are actually encouraging it. Your pet will not differentiate between the pH level between vinegar and urine. If the odor is there, they will likely go to the bathroom there. This is even acknowledges by the Human Society. They note on their website. They have made this statement in regards to vinegar & ammonia: From your pet's perspective, these don't effectively eliminate or cover the urine odor and may actually encourage your pet to reinforce the urine scent mark in that area. 

Household cleaners are often used for pet stain removal, however typically, this is not their intention. Many stain removers are designed as spot cleaners. They are created to remove small stains. In some cases, they are not even designed to be used on fabric. When using these cleaners, you can actually create a bigger problem. Soaps used in many of these cleaners can attract dirt. This photo is an excellent example of what store bought cleaners can do to a carpet. This carpet was "cleaned" using household sprays. The carpet was layered with pet stains. The carpet was stained with pet urine, vomit and muddy paws over a couple years time. Various attempts were made to clean the carpet by means of spot and stain removers. You can clearly see where the cleaners were applied and that rather than remove the stains, they created more. Grayish streaks form where cleaning attempts occurred. This was the result of the soap used in the cleaners. Rather than break down stains, they attracted dirt and made the area worse.

Clearly this carpeting became an eyesore. The room basically became closed off from the rest of the house and it seemed that the only remedy would be replacing the carpet. However we will address this carpet shortly.

Another cleaning misconception is the recommendation of enzymatic cleaners. This process is very complex, but can be simplified in explanation as the reaction of one element in conjunction with another. In very basic terms, the theory is that an enzyme can be introduced to a pet stain and the result will be the breakdown of the stain. The complexities lie within how an enzyme functions. Enzymes are extremely sensitive. They react only to very specific conditions. If the conditions do not meet, the enzyme will not react. There are several conditions to make an enzyme work. The first and most crucial is temperature. Enzymes need a stable temperature to function. If it is too cold or hot, even by 1 degree, there will be no reaction. Shelf life also deters an enzyme from working properly. If the product has been sitting to long, it will not work. Other factors include the pet's diet and the acidity of the urine or vomit, dyes used in the food, moisture and so on. Another problem is that the enzyme may work on a portion of the stains, but not all of it. This is most obvious after a few days when the smell begins to return.

There is a lot behind cleaning pet stains, and unfortunately a lot of it results in stain removers not working. Perhaps the best way to remove pet stains is with Genesis 950. Genesis 950 is a green, all purpose cleaner that works unlike household cleaners and enzymes. Instead of breaking stains down with an acidic base or harmful toxins, it works with water to alter the structural bonds of stains. In doing so, a stain loses it's ability to bond to a surface. As a result, it breaks from the surface and can be rinsed away. It does so without harming surfaces. Even more importantly, it does so without harming you, your family or your pets. It is a green, sustainable cleaner. In addition to removing pet stains, it also removes odor. 

Genesis 950 can be used as a spot cleaner, or in a machine. Going back to the carpeting shown earlier, the results achieved with Genesis 950 are unlike that from any other cleaner. Here is that carpet again. Years of pet stains from both cats and dogs were left throughout the carpet. Several other cleaners were used with negative results, making the carpet look even worse that before. The scent of pets lingered in the room. Ultimately, this became a wasted space in the home.

Here is that same rug after it was cleaned with Genesis 950. Genesis 950 was used in a Bissell carpet cleaning machine. It was mixed at a 50/50 ratio of Genesis 950 to water. The mixture was able to break down the stains and lift them from the surface. Not only did it remove the pet stains from urine and vomit, but it also removed residue and stains left behind by other cleaning products. It also removed all the urine odor from the room. Urine odor often stems from below the surface of the carpet. Spot cleaning will not remove that odor. It is for this reason odor issues must be addressed with a cleaning machine of some sort. When used in a machine, Genesis 950 can break down the stains below the surface, deodorize the padding and kill disinfect any germs which cause the odors, as well as any bacteria that may promote mold growth. 

Genesis 950 works on all carpet types without damaging or discoloring the fibers. In these photos, Genesis 950 was used to remove pet stains that were months old. Like the above carpet, these stains were previously treated with other cleaners. However those cleaners were not able to remove the stains. Genesis 950 was used as a spot cleaner to remove the old pet stains. In this instance, odor was not an issue. The frustration arose from having beautiful carpet that seemed doomed with an embarrassing stain. Genesis 950 was able to make the home owner proud of her carpets again!

Genesis 950 is the perfect spot cleaner for small stains. Cat owners often face the dilemma of vomit. Whether is be food, bile or just random things ingested, the mess can leave a nasty mark. Dyes in food can be troublesome to remove and while some cleaners may get rid of the bulk of the stain, they often leave a faint outline of where the stain was. As a spot cleaner, Genesis 950 can be kept in a bottle. Typically a ratio of 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water can remove pet stains. In this example, Genesis 950 was used to spot clean and remove pet vomit.

How To Remove Cat Vomit Stains

How To Remove Cat Vomit Stains

Cat vomit stains can be stubborn and in some cases hard to remove. This is often because of the dye in cat food. This dye can easily penetrate the carpet fibers and leave discoloration. Cleaning these stains can be challenging because of such dye. With Genesis 950, cat stains can be easily removed and the dye lifted from the carpet. Genesis 950 is a cleaner unlike any other. It is a surfactant based cleaner. Because of this, it works with water to make a stain water soluble. When a stain becomes water soluble, it can then be broken down and rinsed away from the surface.

Cleaning pet stains with Genesis 950 is easy. To properly clean a pet stain, mix Genesis 950 with water. The recommended cleaning ratio for Genesis 950 is 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. This however can be increased all the way to a 50/50 mix in the event the stain is bad. To clean, first locate the stain. In this example, the stain is very easy to find. A cat vomited what seems to be it's entire breakfast on a living room rug.

Remove as much debris as possible with a cloth or paper towel.

Spray the area with a mixture of Genesis 950. Allow the spray to sit for a few minutes on the stain to make it water soluble and to allow it to break the stain down.

After the mixture has been absorbed into the carpet, rinse the area clean with fresh water. 

Genesis 950 isn't just for vomit stains. Use Genesis 950 to remove urine stains, feces stains, blood stains and other pet related stains. Muddy paws ruining your carpet? Revive and refresh carpet with a thorough cleaning using Genesis 950 in any carpet cleaning machine.

In addition to removing vomit stains, Genesis 950 can also remove urine stains, as well as the odor. There are several benefits to genesis 950:

Genesis 950 is safe enough to be sold in concentrate form. This has several benefits.

• First and foremost, it demonstrates how safe Genesis 950 is. Most cleaners available can not be sold in concentrate form because the chemistry is unsafe to either consumers or the environment. Because of this, they need to be watered down. With Genesis 950, you add the water as needed when cleaning.
• As a concentrate, the consumer can determine the strength of the water to Genesis 950 mix needed. Some cleaning scenarios, such as general cleaning require less 950, while other situations such as grease or pet stain removal require a higher amount of 950. Being able to control how much solution is needed helps make the product last longer.
• Because a cleaner sold in concentrate form is not watered down, the financial savings are higher. Rather than paying for a watered down product, the customer is paying for an industrial strength cleaner in it's most powerful form.. When used for general cleaning at a recommended ratio of 1 part 950 to 7 parts water, a gallon of concentrate can become 7 gallons of cleaning solution.
