Best Carpet Cleaner And Stain Remover: remove pet stains

GENESIS 950 CARPET CLEANING

Cleaning carpet is not only a necessity for keeping your house clean, but also needed to maintain a healthy home. A thorough carpet cleaning will remove dirt, dust and pollen that has settled into the carpet throughout the year. However it seems the carpet needs to be cleaned when it is most inconvenient. An sudden spill or stains often triggers the urge to clean before the stain sets in. Because of this, people typically grab the most convenient cleaner and start scrubbing away.

Unfortunately, many household cleaners are unsafe. Some contain harsh chemicals that can trigger health risks. Simple Green contains 2-buthoxyethanol, which can damage red blood cells and cause irritation to the eyes. Spot Shot may be fatal if inhaled. Febreeze, 409 and other ammonium or ethonalamine based cleaners can trigger asthma. Some of these cleaners have been cited as releasing up to 89 air contaminants. The Environmental Working Group has composed a list of products on their Hall Of Shame. This list outlines dangers in common household cleaning products.

In addition to being unsafe, many household cleaners do not properly remove stains. Many cleaners contain chemistry which can alter the carpet's color. A proper cleaner can break down stains without damaging your carpet. Genesis 950 is a safe, green cleaner which works with water to break down stains by making them water soluble. Once water soluble, the bonds of a stain are broken and the stain can then be flushed from the surface.

Genesis 950 was named a Top Baby & Kids Invention
Because of How Safe It Is To Use Around Families

Genesis 950 can be used as a spot cleaner for surface stains, or it can be used in a machine to deep clean carpet. It is the best carpet cleaner for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it is safe. It does not contain any regulated chemicals like other cleaners. It is free of 2-buthoxyethanol, ammonium or ethonalamine. The contents of Genesis 950 will not provoke asthma, respiratory issues, or fatal reactions. As a green product, it is designed with the safety of the environment, pets, children and families in mind.

Genesis 950 can handle all types of stains. Initially designed to remove industrial ink from printing presses, Genesis 950 found it's way into homes in 2011. The ability to break down food stains, makeup stains, paint stains, and even pet stains, has made it one of the most popular green cleaning products on the market.

Pet owners love Genesis 950 because it can remove the toughest pet stains well as odors. In doing so, it will not harm surfaces being cleaned. In addition to removing stains, it also removes odors.

Remove Pet Stains & Odors From Carpet

Pet stains, such as urine and vomit can make carpet unbearable. They also cause a great deal of frustration when it comes to cleaning. If not cleaned properly, it can create reoccurring urination on that spot. Both cats and dogs, urinate based on instinct. If they smell urine in a spot, they will likely go on that spot again. Unfortunately, the internet is littered with terrible advice in regards to cleaning pet stains. When this happens, the pet stains only get worse.

The worst advice by far are all the DIY pet stain remover recipes that include vinegar. Vinegar, as well as ammonia, has an acidic base. The pH level in vinegar is similar to the pH level of urine. This acidic odor confuses your pet into thinking that is the spot to go to the bathroom. Even the Humane Society states the following warning:

Avoid cleaning chemicals such as ammonia or vinegar. Strong chemical odors may encourage your pet to reinforce the urine scent mark in that area.

Likewise, cleaning products containing ammonium compounds have the same effect. There are countless testimonials where people have cleaned with vinegar or ammonia based cleaners and find themselves bewildered because even though they cleaned the spot, it keeps coming back. Chances are it's coming back because your pet smells those chemicals and keeps going to the bathroom in that spot. Using these cleaners only starts a vicious cycle between you cleaning there and your pet going to the bathroom there.

Another issue in dealing with pets is the odor below the carpet surface. When an animal urinates on carpet, the urine travels downward. It becomes infused in the padding and the fibers of the carpet. Surface cleaning a spot will not remove the odor underlying the carpet. While you might not be able to smell it, you pet can. As they sniff about the carpet, when they come across the section with an old stain in the padding, they are likely to go to the bathroom there again.

Baking soda is another incorrectly advised pet stains remover. While baking soda is a neutralizer when introduced to an acidic component, neutralizing is NOT the same as deodorizing. Baking soda also presents other problems - the fine powder can damage vacuum cleaners and blow out the vacuum motor. It can have the same impact on carpet cleaning machines if wet clumps are sucked up by the machine. It can also make a mess of your carpet as the mixture becomes paste like if using it in conjunction with some sort of liquid. To remove pet odors, the bacteria causing them needs to be destroyed. Air fresheners, in addition to releasing contaminants and asthma inducing chemicals, only mask odors. They also do not neutralize or deodorize them. Genesis 950 completely removes the odor . . . safely!

In this photo, a Berber carpet was full of pet stains. Over the course of several years it had been cleaned with countless traditional cleaners. These products created more staining and left discolored blotches throughout the carpet. Many of these cleaners were soap based. Because soap attracts dirt, the marks left behind by those cleaners became worse over time.

Over time, pets repeatedly went to the bathroom throughout the carpet. This was not a housebreaking issue. This was an issue created by the cleaners not removing the odor properly. As a result, the animals continued to go to the bathroom throughout the carpet.

Pet stains involving odor MUST be cleaned with a carpet cleaning machine. Not only do they make the carpet look more appealing, but they also allow you to get to the padding. Odor issues can not be treated with a surface cleaning. Unless you use a carpet cleaning machine, you will not remove odor from the carpet.

For the best results, use Genesis 950 at a mixing ratio of 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water. While general cleaning recommendations are 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water, pet stains can be stubborn. For this reason, the ratio should be increased. In extreme cases, Genesis 950 can be mixed at a 50/50 ratio with water. If choosing to clean with a higher ratio, there should ever be more Genesis 950 than water. Less is more! It is the water which activates Genesis 950.

Once the carpet was cleaned using Genesis 950 in a carpet cleaning machine at a ratio of 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water, the pet stains and odor were completely removed. Not only did it remove the pet stains, but it also removed the stains that other cleaning products made. This cleaning process also remove any odor from within the carpet. This prevents the animals from being attracted to that spot and ends "accidents" in the house.

Pet stains on carpet surfaces can be appropriately cleaned using Genesis 950 as a spot cleaner. Clean surface stains from food and drinks to, make up, markers and even unidentifiable using Genesis 950 in a spray bottle with water at the general cleaning ratio of 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. Spray the area, then rinse clean with water and allow to dry.

How To Remove Cat Vomit Stains From Carpet

Cat puke can be a mess. Cats always seem to throw up in the most visible places. Their vomit can be quite troublesome to clean. In addition to stomach bile, there can also be dyes from their food. If not caught in the act, the stain can easily set into your carpet, rugs or furniture and as a result be more difficult to clean.

There are many ways to clean cat vomit, however not all of them are helpful. Two of the most recommended cleaners are vinegar and ammonia. They are recommended for a number of reasons. They are inexpensive, they are organic and they are usually readily available. Both have an acidic level which helps them break down stains without chemicals. They are unarguably good cleaners. However problems arise when using them in a home with cats. Cat urine, like ammonia and vinegar, is acidic. It also contains some of the same compounds found in the two cleaning agents. This causes a problem because cats urinate based on scent. They are drawn to pee in the same spot. What draws them to the spot is the scent. Because vinegar and ammonia have some of the same odors found in cat urine, you might find your cat sniffing out the spot and going to the bathroom there. Now, in addition to having to deal with a vomit stain, you are also struggling with cat urine stains.

Everyday household cleaning agents are also recommended. Some of them claim to resolve the issue or shout out the spot. However these cleaners can present several problems. The first is the chemical level in such cleaners. They can react to other chemicals used or even to the actual carpet composition. This holds particularly true with cleaners that have oxidizing agents. Oxidization is a chemical process. Often, the chemicals used in carpets react to these oxidizers and can cause discoloration to the carpet. Discoloration can also come from any cleaner that contains bleach. Another issue with these cleaners is that many are soap based. Soap based cleaners can clog the pores of the carpet and trap the stain in it. The soap can also attract dirt. When this happens, it makes the stain look worse than before.

HOW TO CLEAN WITH GENESIS 950

This photo shows cat vomit stains that were cleaned with a typical household cleaner that is designed to remove stains. You can clearly see that the stain is much larger than a vomit stain. The cleaner actually left marks of it's own all around the stain. It made the carpet look much worse than before the cleaning. Household spray stain removers might be idea in some situations, but they should not be used on carpet for this reason.

To properly remove stains from cat vomit, or any other types of stain for that matter, Genesis 950 works better than other cleaners. It is a surfactant based cleaner. This means that rather treating a stain with bleach, soap or harmful chemicals, it works with water to be absorbed by the stain. Once absorbed, the 950 alters the structural bonds of the stain. This in turn causes them to break apart from the surface and be rinsed away.

Genesis 950 is sold in concentrate form. To properly use it, mix it with water at a ratio of 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. This can be increased all the way up to a 50/50 mix depending on the severity of the stain.

Step by Step Directions

1. Locate the stain and remove any excess particles. In this photo, the hairball was removed and the area was blotted with a paper towel.

2. A closer view shows the stain. Bile and liquid from the digested food can be seen. This stain is on a wool rug, and not the least bit attractive.

3. To clean the area, spray with a mixture of Genesis 950 & water. For this stain, 1/3 of the bottle was filled with Genesis 950 and the remaining 2/3 with water. Spray the area until fully saturated.

4. Allow the mixture to sit on the area for a few minutes. Even without any scrubbing, you can see the difference between this photo and the photo in step 2. The mixture of Genesis 950 and water begins working once it comes in contact with the stain.

5. Using a scrub brush, towel or sponge (as seen here), gently massage the area allowing the mixture to get deep into the carpet and the stained fibers.

6. The effect using Genesis 950 on a stain is visible very quickly and with little effort.

7. Next, rinse the area. Here, a sponge was used to
release fresh water on the area. The 950 will not damage your carpet in any way, but if left in the carpet, it will continue to pull any dirt from the carpet out and upward. Rinsing allows you to get anything flushed out that the 950 has broken down below the surface.

8. The stain is removed and the carpet is cleaned. The spot that is visible in the photo is not a stain, nor is it discoloration. This is simply the wet area on the rug.

9. Allow the area to dry. Use a fan (as seen in the photo), dehumidifier or wet vac to speed up the drying process.

10. After the carpet has dried, you will be able to see the stain is gone. In fact you would never even have known it was there.

On a side note, the stain occurred in them morning. At that time, natural light filled the room and no flash was needed for the photos. The carpet dried throughout the day and by evening when this photo was taken, a flash was needed. As a result, it changed the way the color of the rug appeared on camera.

With Genesis 950 you don't have to live with unsightly stains. You don't have to throw away perfectly good rugs, or replace carpet. Genesis 950 is also safe to use in carpet cleaning machines. Cleaning an entire room can be easy!

In addition to removing pet stains, it can also remove stains caused by other cleaners. Remember the picture from above showing how household cleaners stained a carpet? Genesis 950 ended up cleaning that as well!
