We are also often asked why we are not available in stores. There are many reasons for this.
1) Genesis 950 is manufactured by Amerikal Products. Since 1989, Amerikal has been a premier and innovating leader in manufacturing green, sustainable and health focus chemistry for the printing industry. Genesis 950 was one of the original products designed to improve cleanliness in industrial printing press rooms. It 's main purpose was to remove spilled ink from machines, floors and clothing. Over time, the press room employees were using it at home just as much as they were at home. The printers requested we make the product available to their employees. From that point, Genesis 950 crossed into the consumer market as one of the best carpet cleaners and stain removers available. While Genesis 950 is available to the public, this product is not our main line of business. Amerikal caters to the printing industry and maintains a strong foothold in that industry, constantly working to reinvent chemistry used on presses which package food, pharmaceuticals and print media.
2) We want customers to use our product the right way. Being a surfactant cleaner, and a concentrated solution, it is very important that the directions are followed properly. Genesis 950 must be mixed with water. If used straight from the bottle without mixing, it will do nothing. Far too often we have gone to hardware stores or big box stores where the employees gave incorrect information or instructions with something that was purchased and the results were underwhelming. We don't want this to happen with Genesis 950. Genesis 950 works. But it only works if the directions are followed. Every order we ship includes proper directions. On top of that, we are available to help people directly, answer questions, give recommendations and properly represent the product. There have been several instances where customers have called in regards to the product not meeting their expectations. Generally, we can tell what was done incorrectly through the customer's explanation of why the product not not work. We are then able to make suggestions and 99.9% of the time what we can identify and correct with the customer what went wrong and resolve the issues. We are very passionate about our product and love talking to customers. When customers call, they don't get an automated system, they don't get dropped into voice mail. Instead they get an actual person who has no problem taking all the time in the world to help you with your specific problem.
3) Costs. Being in a big box store or chain is expensive and would drive the cost of the product up significantly. There is a lot of red tape involved in being in a major retailer. Several of them require specific bar codes that must be purchased and approved by a board consisting of members of the outlets. The bar code process involved to be in a major retailer goes far beyond just getting the bar code. Packaging costs would increase as many retailers must approve the logos and labels. Genesis 950 has a very basic label. Because our primary focus is the printing industry, we have had no reason to create a label which appeals to customers in a big box store. Naturally retailers would take a percentage of the sale of the item. Genesis 950 is actually currently priced as low as possible. It is sold for just a little bit over the manufacturing cost. Being in major retail outlets, the price would be driven up to support the retailers payment for selling the item.
Genesis 950 is extremely cost effective. Remember, it is a concentrate cleaner. This means that it has not been watered down, and water must be added for it to work. The vast majority of cleaners available are 98% water. These products are sold this way for several reasons. The first is because the manufacturers have a low bottom line cost to produce the product, and can make a bigger product by selling items that are 98% water. Next, many of these products are so watered down because if they had a certain volume of chemical content, they would be considered unhealthy and in violation of various health regulations. Genesis 950 poses no such threats - even in concentrate form. That's how safe it is.
When Genesis 950 is broken down properly and mixed with water at a 1:7 ratio for general cleaning, you are essentially getting 7 gallons of cleaner out of a 1 gallon bottle of concentrated Genesis 950. Likewise, one gallon of Genesis 950 Concentrate can be broken down to 7 gallons of cleaner when properly diluted. Of course this can vary based on how much Genesis 950 you use. Some jobs require a 50/50 mix of Genesis 950 and water. These instances generally include carpet cleaner. But even there, your savings are excellent. Especially if your other options are to call a professional cleaner, who can charge hundreds of dollars per room, or replace your carpet, which is costly no matter how you do it.
