Best Pet Stain Remover For Carpet And Pet Odor Eliminator: Clean Pet Vomit Stains

How To Remove Pet Vomit Stains

Pet vomit stains can be stubborn and in some cases hard to remove. This is often because of the dye in pet 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.

While there are several products on the market that claim to be designed to work specifically on pet stains, they do not always work. There are several reasons for this:

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.

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.

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 water, the customer is paying for product. When used for general cleaning at a recommended ratio of 1 part 950 to 7 parts water, that concentrated gallon actually breaks down to 7 gallons of diluted cleaner.
