Genesis 950 - The Best Pet Stain Remover

REMOVE PET STAINS AND ODORS

Pets bring joy, comfort and protection to families, but pet stains can cause stress, aggravation and embarrassment. Urine, feces and vomit can be some of the hardest stains to tackle. There are countless remedies and solutions available with the intent to remove these stains, however they do not always work.

Genesis 950 takes away all the stress of pet stains. It is a green all purpose cleaner that works unlike any other cleaner available. It works with water to break the bonds of stains. When a stain's bonds are broken, it can then be lifted from the surface it has adhered to and in turn rinsed away. Here are some reviews on Genesis 950 that show why it is the best pet stain remover. It is sold in concentrate form and the recommended cleaning ratio is 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. Because of this, 1 quart of Genesis 950 can easily become 7 quarts of cleaning solution. For harder stains, or heavily soiled carpet, this ratio can be increased to a 50/50 mix. Typically however a 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water ratio can remove most stains.

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.

Soap Based Cleaners Can Leave Behind Residue In Carpet

Clearly this carpet 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.

GENESIS 950 CUSTOMER REVIEW

Pet stains can be a hassle. They can leave behind unsightly stains, or they can make your house smell. If not properly removed stains and odors can linger. Removing those stains and odors can be a challenge . . . unless of course you use Genesis 950.

Genesis 950 can remove old pet stains just as well as new pet stains. It works unlike other cleaners. Many cleaners are chemical based. However treating a stain with heavy chemicals doesn't always remove it. They can also discolor the carpet.

Genesis 950 is a concentrated cleaner that works with water to remove stains. Once water is added, Genesis 950 works to make stains water soluble. This allows stains to then break down. This process allows stains to be removed without the use of hazardous chemicals. Genesis 950 is a green cleaner! You can clean safely without worrying about exposing pets or children to dangerous chemicals.

We recently received some feedback from a customer. Julie wrote:

"Hi, I have a large area (living room, hall and 3 bedrooms) that my 5 year old shih tzu has completely destroyed with urine stains. I ordered a gallon of your product, and it quickly removed a pretty large feces stain from my 5 month old puppy, so I was pretty excited to try it in a carpet cleaner."
She also included photos of the stain and the results.

Pet Vomit Stains Removed With Genesis 950

HOW TO CLEAN PET VOMIT STAINS WITH GENESIS 950

On occasion a pet owner may run into an instance where their food doesn't agree with them or an upset stomach might be bothersome. When this happens, generally the carpet or a rug becomes the target. These stains can be easily cleaned using Genesis 950.

Genesis 950 is a green, surfactant based cleaner that works like no other stain remover. As a surfactant based cleaner, it works with water to break the bonds of stains. When a stain's bond is broken, it can then be lifted from a surface and the area can then be flushed clean. Genesis 950 is a green cleaner. It has no harsh chemicals and is safe to use in your home. In addition to being safe to you, your family and your pets, it also is safe for your carpet and upholstery. Genesis 950 will not damage fabrics, or discolor fibers.

As a concentrate, water must be added to Genesis 950 for it to be active. The mixing ratio for general cleaning is 1 part 950 to 7 parts water. However pet stains can be more troublesome and in some cases require a higher mixing ratio. Genesis 950 and water can be mixed as high as a 50/50 ratio. Typically though, pet stains need no more than 1/3 950 and the remaining 2/3 water.  

To clean pet stains, spray the stained area with a mixture of Genesis 950 and water. In this example, a mixture of 1/3 950 and 2/3 water was used.

Spray the area with the mixture. Be sure to thoroughly saturate the stained area to allow the stain to break down.

After the area has been sprayed, allow it to sit for a few moments. This will allow the 950 and water to work on breaking down the stains. Clean the area with a towel or damp rag. 

After the stain has been wiped up, rinse the area with clean water. This can be done using a damp cloth or towel. It will remove anything that might have been left behind.

Rinse the area with a damp cloth or rag.





After rinsing, the rug will be cleaned and the stained area no longer visible. 

Genesis 950 works with ease on various pet stains. From vomit to urine, Genesis 950 safely removes the stains. In addition to removing stains, it provides antibacterial protection which helps remove odors. This is beneficial in instances where urine stains have affected an area.

The Best All Purpose Green Cleaner To Clean Carpets And Remove Stains

The Best All Purpose Green Cleaner To Clean Carpets And Remove Stains

Green Carpet Cleaner

There are countless cleaning products available that market themselves for specific cleaning tasks. Some are marketed as carpet cleaners, some as stain removers. Different brands are designed to remove pet stains, while others are labelled as carpet cleaners. The vast majority of them contain unsafe chemicals. Many of them can not be sold in concentrate form because they violate regulations. Because of this, they have to be watered down. Some of them so watered down they can contain up to 99% water. Others contain bleach or ammonia which can damage surfaces. Some cleaners are soap based. These types of cleaners, if used incorrectly, can actually make staining worse as soap attracts dirt and grime.

Genesis 950 is a green cleaner, free of harsh chemicals, bleach or soap. It works unlike any other cleaner because it is a surfactant based cleaner. Surfactant cleaners act different then traditional cleaners because they do not break down stains using chemicals. Instead, the surfactants work with water. When combined with water and applied to a stain, the stain absorbs the mixture of the surfactant and the water. Once this happens, the structure of the stain is altered and in turn broken down. The breakdown of the stain causes it to detach from the surface it has been adhered to. When the stain has been broken down, it can then be rinsed from the surface and the area flushed clean.

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 water, the customer is paying for product. For general cleaning, the ratio mixed with water can be as low as 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. This means that as a general cleaner 1 gallon of concentrate can be mixed to equal 7 galls of cleaning solution.

General Cleaning

Genesis 950 is the perfect cleaner for general cleaning. When used as a general cleaner, the
recommended mixing ratio is 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. Fill up a spray bottle with this mixture and it is always ready for household cleaning. To clean, simply spray the mixture on the area in need of cleaning, allow it to sit for a few moments, then wipe down.

The mixture will work to break down grime, fingerprints and dirt from multiple surfaces. It will break down dirt in hard to get crevasses, along molding and in deeper grooves where different surfaces come together.

Use it in the bathroom to break down mold and kill bacteria, in the kitchen on appliances, stainless steel and tile, on floors, doors and more. It works wonders on stove tops, breaking down stains that typically need to be scrubbed. When the mixture of Genesis 950 and water are absorbed into tough stains, they are easily broken down and can generally just be wiped off. Cleaning the inside of ovens has never been easier either!

Pet Stains

Pet stains can be among the most stubborn stains. Every pet owner deals with them at one point or another and finding a cleaner that works can sometimes be harder then actually cleaning the stain. Different pets can have different types of stains. With dogs and puppies there are training incidents. With cats, spraying can be an issue of concern. Both cats and dogs have occasional instances of vomiting unexpectedly. Health issues with either type of pet can also present a problem. Older dogs may have bladder issues. Cats can be prone to kidney infections, which in addition to urine stains can be blood stains.

Regardless of which stain is being dealt with, Genesis 950 can address them all. Not only does it remove the stain, but it also removes any associated odor. In addition to cleaning, Genesis 950 has anti-bacterial components. When breaking down the bacteria, it is not only preventing the spread of germs, but it is also killing odor causing bacteria which deodorizes the area.

When cleaning pet stains, it is best to use Genesis 950 in a carpet cleaning machine. The reason for
this is because often with urine stains, the stain actually goes deeper than the carpet surface. The padding can be affected. Once urine is absorbed by the padding, the issue is no longer the visible stain, but the unseen scent of the urine in the carpet. Whether the area affected was created by a cat or dog, it is very important to properly clean it. Both cats and dogs urinate where they smell they have gone before. If the urine scent is in the padding, the behavior will be repeated in that area and the stain will be worsened. Too often, pet owners try to spot clean the stain in the carpet. Such spot cleaning does not impact what is in the padding. Just because the visible stain has been removed does not mean what was left in the padding has been removed. Another error made is pet owners sometimes try to remove the odor with products designed to add fragrance. While this might be beneficial to the human scent, both cats and dogs have a much more advanced sense of smell. Masking the urine odor with an air freshener does not eliminate the odor of urine that your pet will still smell. If what your pet can smell is not treated, deodorized and removed, your pet will still go to the bathroom in that spot. One of the most common scenarios pet owners experience is that their pet keeps going in the same spot. The reason for this is because they have not properly cleaned the area.

Using a steam cleaning machine allows the cleaning mixture to be released deep into the carpet. Here it will break down the visible stain, and deodorize deep in the padding. When treating these types of stains, the mixture of Genesis 950 to water can be increased to as high as a 50/50 mix of solution to water. Another benefit to using these types of machines for urine stains in the carpet is that they have a rinse cycle. After the carpet has been cleaned with the solution, the area should be rinsed. This will flush out all of the lifted stains. Without a carpet cleaning machine, such rinsing would not be possible. A final benefit of this type of cleaning is the area can be easily extracted. Using the high powered suction of the machine, the bulk of the moisture can be lifted. This allows for a faster drying process.

There are countless products available for cleaning pet stains. However they do not have the positive affects that Genesis 950 has. Too often, people use the wrong things to clean pet stains and end up with situations worse then before they attempted to clean.

• Vinegar & ammonia - Perhaps the most commonly recommended cleaning agents for pet stains. Unfortunately, they are the WORST things you can use to clean pet stains. Both do have their positive attributes. They are green, natural products. They have a high enough level of acidity to break down stains without damaging surfaces being cleaned. They are inexpensive, and typically easy to find in the home. However, the acidic properties have comparable structural elements found in the acidic base of urine. This causes a problem because the odor released has some of the same properties found in urine. Remembering that animals urinate in areas where they smell urine, the use of ammonia and/or vinegar can serve as an open invitation for your pet to go in the spot you just cleaned with either of the products. Pet owners who use either of these often find themselves confused and perplexed when their pet keeps going in the same spot no matter how many times they clean the area. They go in that spot because the odor of the vinegar and ammonia do not remove the urine odor, they only enhance it from your pet's perspective of scent.
• Enzymes - Enzymes line the aisles of pet stores. They are often hailed as the go to miracle cleaner for pet stains. This couldn't be further from the truth. Enzymes work on a principal that when two specific substances come in contact with each other, there will be a natural reaction in which one breaks the other down. It sounds simple enough, release the enzymes into the urine and they break down naturally. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Enzymes are very complex. It takes specific factors to make an enzyme work. The process is often explained in comparison to using a lock and key. There can be a thousand keys and one lock. For the lock to be activated, the correct key needs to be used. All the other keys can be put to the lock, but if there is not a 100% match,
  
  
  there will be no reaction. Enzymes can only break down an element if they have the biological capacity to do so. The DNA strands have to be a 100% match. In addition to the DNA matching, there are other factors in play: temperature, moisture, age and so on. If any of these factors are off, the enzyme can not work. To complicate the process even more, enzymes sold are sold in general mass production. They are not designed to react specifically to the pH levels of individual pet's urine, variables in pet's diets, health issues and other details that vary from one animal to another. One of the most common complaints about enzymes is that the stain typically reappears a few days later or the odor returns. This happens because enzymes do not have the strength to get deep into the padding. So, while the stain on the carpet may be removed, what is left behind below the surface can rise to become visible as temperature changes. They also can not kill the bacteria which creates the odor. Without proper deodorizing, the odor returns.
• Household Cleaners - Perhaps the most readily available cleaners are the traditional soap based, spot designed cleaners. They are designed as surface cleaners. Most perform well when removing stains from hard surfaces. Some can do a good job at lifting light food or drink stains, but they do not have the power to properly clean pet stains. As a spot cleaner, again the issue of what is below the surface is not being addressed. They can not get into the padding where the odor originates. Many of these cleaners are soap based. When soap based cleaners are used on carpet, they can lift some of the surface stain, but in doing so, they can leave other stains. Soap attracts dirt. Rather then break down dirt, it pulls it together and can cause it to clump up. In the process, streaking can occur in the carpet.
• Oxidizing Cleaners - These cleaners work using a process called oxidization. Many of them use Nirtic Acid (which is in fertilizer - do you really want that in your carpet?) to remove electrons in an effort to displace a stain. It's a little more of a complex process. The chemistry used is not natural and very chemical based. Because of the use of chemicals, this is the process of cleaning pet stains where a consumer is most likely to damage their carpet. Discoloration can be a common effect when using oxidizing cleaners. The chemistry in the oxidizer can react to the carpet and turn it various colors, although a pinkish tint is the most common side effect. This type of discoloration can not be reversed.

Carpet Cleaning

Regardless of whether one owns pets or not, carpet cleaning is always an issue. Throughout the year, traffic on the carpet can cause it to look worn or dirty. Spills and stains can hinder the appearance. Dirt, dust and dander can have an impact on people sensitive to allergies or sensitive skin.

Professional carpet cleaning is an option, however it can be quite costly. A cleaning company can easily charge up to $100 per room. Other associated fees might be added when different cleaning options are added such as deodorizers, stain protection or warranties. When dealing with professional cleaners, you don't always know what types of chemicals they are using. Are they safe? Are they green? Are you getting a thorough clean as well as a rinse? What happens if the stain returns? Many times, cleaners can leave and the carpet looks clean, but after a number of days, phantom stains can return to the surface. Genesis 950 has been used on several occasions to remove these stains that reappeared. In some cases it has even been used to remove stains that professional cleaners have not been able to remove. Not only is cost and issue, but time is an issue. With professional cleaners, you often have to book in advance and clear your schedule to be available when they come to your home.

A 2.5 gallon of Genesis 950 allows you to not only clean your carpet on your own time, but it also contains the anti-bacterial agents and the deodorizes with no addition expense. You also know you are getting a safe, green product that won't cause harm to you, your family or your pets.

There is also the option of replacing the carpet. Sometimes there comes a point where the carpet just seems beyond cleaning. Stains that have set in, failed attempts with other cleaners or odor might make it seem all hope is lost. Again, cost is a huge factor in replacing carpet. The cost of new carpet and installation can run up into thousands of dollars depending on the size and style of carpet being replaced. Before taking such drastic steps, a good cleaning with a machine using Genesis 950 could quite possible restore the carpet, remove the stains and bring it's bounce back.

Car Cleaning

Make your car look like it was professionally detailed. With Genesis 950, you can clean your car inside
and out. Remove stains from leather and upholstery car seats without damaging the material. Remove mud, dirt and stains from car mats and carpeting. Detail the dashboard and control panels. Genesis 950 can be used on the exterior to remove grease, oil and tar from the body, the grill, hubcaps and tires.

The uses don't stop there. Degrease engines and transmissions with little effort. Spray the unit with a mixture of 950 and water. Allow it to site for about 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse off. If a powerwasher is available, the mixture can make cleaning even easier then you ever thought.

On the garage floor, remove stains from oil and grease stains.
