Genesis 950 Reviews

Genesis 950 is a stain remover like no other. It is a green, all purpose cleaner that works with water to break the bonds of stains and lift them from the surface. It is sold in concentrate form and can easily replace traditional household cleaners. Use it in the kitchen, the bathroom, the garage, on clothes, carpets and more. The uses are endless.

Genesis 950 was first used in 1986 as a cleaning tool in printing plants. It is manufactured by Amerikal Products. Amerikal has been a leader in manufacturing sustainable products for the printing industry for nearly 30 years. Genesis 950 was initially designed to remove ink from roller presses, printroom floors, equipment and clothing. Over time, Genesis 950 found its way from the printing presses into people's homes. In 2011, it was made available online at www.genesis950.com. In 2014, it was made available on Amazon. Since it has been made available, over 10,000 orders have been placed.

Since 2011, several reviews have been done on Genesis 950. Here is an overview of what reviewers are saying:

One of our favorite reviews is Bre. She has reviewed Genesis 950 for her blog The Small Things several times. She has cleaned everything from carpets to furniture. This time around, she put Genesis 950 to a tougher test. In her current apartment, the previous renters had a rubber doormat. That doormat left behind residue in the concrete. Bre had tried everything she could think of to remove the stain, but nothing worked. She then tried Genesis 950 at a ratio of 3/4 Genesis 950 to 1/4 water. After spraying with this mixtures, she scrubbed the concrete with a scrub brush and rinsed away the stain with water. 

Bre continued the concrete challenge at her back patio where the air conditioner unit sits. The unit was dripping water on the concrete. Over time, the buildup can create quite a mess. The warmth of the unit provides a breeding ground for mold on the concrete. Bre used the ratio of 3/4 Genesis 950 to 1/4 water and soaked the area. She let it sit for about two minutes, then scrubbed the stained area and rinsed it clean with water. The results speak for themselves!

Danielle reviewed Genesis 950 for her blog Making Time. Danielle is a working Mom with 2 kids. Time is

not something she has a lot of, but with her blog, she helps find ways of making time. With Genesis 950, she found lots of ways to save time. Her preferred mixing ratio was 1/4 Genesis 950 to 3/4 water. With that ratio she tackled all sorts of cleaning tasks from spills and stains, to mopping floors and cleaning the tub. But the real challenge she had was her stove top. She sprayed the mixture of Genesis 950 and water on the stove top, let it sit for a few minutes, then used a stove top scraper to remove TONS of gunk and buildup. Danielle indicated that she couldn't remove this buildup with her regular household cleaners. Take a look at the process. Photo #1 shows the initial stove top. Photos #2 & #3 show the process and the final result is in Photo #4.

Amber reviewed Genesis 950 for Beautifully BellaFaith. Amber used Genesis 950 to clean her tile floor. This is a great use for Genesis 950 as it works with water to break the bonds of stains and make them water soluble. Tile, along with grout, can be hard to clean, especially with traditional cleaners. Soap based cleaners can actually leave residue behind in the pores of the tile. Because Genesis 950 is a surfactant, when it enters the pores, it works to break down the trapped dirt and grime. This in turn allows it to break free from areas where it has been trapped in. With traditional cleaners, Amber has to mop 2 - 3 times a week and has noticed even doing so doesn't really clean the tile. With one application of Genesis 950, she was not only complimenting how pristine the tile looked, but was also amazed that the grout was cleaned so well it actually went from dark brown to beige as the Genesis 950 removed all the trapped buildup.

Julee tried out Genesis 950 for her blog Mommy's Memorandum. Her primary goal was to clean carpets. This is by far the most common use for Genesis 950. Julee asked a lot of questions about using Genesis 950, and they are common questions. Carpet cleaning machines are not expensive, and if used incorrectly, they can break down. One of the most common reasons that these machines malfunction is because of a heavy soap presence. Foaming of soap can cause the engine to blow out. For this reason, many manufacturers include a warning that no cleaner should be used in the machine other than the cleaner designed for that machine. This is specifically to prevent people from using heavy soap based cleaners in the machine. Genesis 950 is NOT soap based, therefore can be used in any type of carpet cleaning machine. It will not damage the machines. After clarifying this for Julee, she was ready to go. Her machine was the type that has a container for solution and a separate container for fresh water. She filled the containers up and gave it a try.

It should be noted that in addition to wear and tear from everyday life, Julee lived in a small apartment with a dog. One of her biggest concerns was the odor from the dog - specifically pee odor. However once Julee started cleaning, she was beyond amazed. Not only were the stains gone, and the odor gone, but her carpet had a soft, plush feel to it. In fact, she noted it was the first time since she's lived there that the carpet was so soft and plush that there were tracks left from the vacuum when she cleaned!!

After cleaning her carpets, Julee went on to clean the walls.

Julee found all sorts of other uses for Genesis 950 from laundry stains to general cleaning. Read Julee's full review at Mommy Memorandum.

Lisa from Homeschool Insights (formerly Chronically Content) re-visited Genesis 950 for a second review. Lisa does not have pets or small children, which is no problem at all. While Genesis 950 is best known for carpet cleaning and pet stain removal, Lisa's review is a great reminder that Genesis 950 is an All Purpose Cleaner. Lisa is also chemically sensitive. For her, it is important to use a cleaner that does not impact her well being. Genesis 950 is green . . . making it safe! Lisa used Genesis 950 to give her bathroom a deep cleaning for Spring.

Using Genesis 950 at a ratio of 1 part 950 to 7 parts water, Lisa sprayed her bathroom fixtures and simply wiped away the grime, gunk and buildup with a sponge. 

In the shower, Genesis 950 can break down water stains, soap build up and scaling. In addition, as you rinse away the product, it also helps clean your pipes as it breaks down buildup. Eco-friendly consumers can also rest assured knowing that there are no volatile chemicals being released into the drainage water. 

Use Genesis 950 to clean toilets as well. The anti-bacterial elements kill and germs that might be lingering.

A2Z Reviews reviewed Genesis 950. As a house with both kids and pets, genesis 950 was a welcomed addition to the home. One of the biggest complaints pet owners have is that there are so many cleaners available and none of them truly remove that "dog" smell. However Genesis 950 is not like other cleaners and the reviewer found Genesis 950 DID, and that it was "without a doubt the best cleaner I have ever used on my carpet." 

In the home, the kids have their beloved Mickey Mouse chair. Every family with kids knows that the beloved item, over the years, becomes dirty. Stains build up from food, drinks, and life in general. The results were wonderful, and the beloved chair was like new!

The A2Z Review took Genesis 950 into the kitchen. As a green cleaner, it is ideal for kitchen use and cleaning appliances as it does not leave harmful chemicals behind. The microwave became her next target. Using Genesis 950 in the Spray Bottle at a mixture of 1 part 950 to 7 parts water, food stains, fingerprints and splatter marks were all easily removed from the microwave.

Another great use of the Genesis 950 in this review was for general cleaning. Doors are touched everyday. Hand prints, dirt, dust, scrape marks and scuffs are probably on your door right now. But one doesn't often think about cleaning door. However when Genesis 950 is used to clean doors, the results are incredible. It's almost like having a new door!

Jessica reviewed Genesis 950 for Gobble It Up Reviews. The opportunity to try Genesis 950 came at the perfect time. Her 4 year old decided to express himself artistically by coloring her white carpet with green marker. This of course, as she would find out, was no challenge for Genesis 950. Genesis 950's origins are in the printing industry. It was designed in the 1980's to remove industrial printing ink from equipment, flooring and clothing. Genesis 950 is an environmentally friendly surfactant based cleaner. It works unlike other cleaners by making stains water soluble. When this happens, the stains lose their adherence and lift from the surface. Genesis 950 is a concentrate, which means you mix it with water based on what you are cleaning. In her example, Jessica used 1 part 950 to 7 parts water, sprayed the stain, allowed it to sit, then rinsed. Here are the before and after pictures of the stained rug.

After cleaning this "disaster," Jessica used 950 to clean other spots on her carpet and furniture.

However Genesis 950 isn't just for carpet and upholstery. It can be used as an all purpose cleaner throughout the home. In addition to cleaning better than most cleaners, it is also safer. Genesis 950 doesn't contain chemicals that can impair your health. It is truly a green cleaner. Safe for both you and the environment. 

In the bathroom, remove water stains, soap scum and dirt. Check out the before and after photos of her bathroom sink!

Megan from Ahh-Mazing Reviews reviewed Genesis 950. Megan has 3 children, all girls. They are energetic and artistic. Often, their creativity spilled onto the floor! Her biggest struggle has been keeping her home looking like she did before kids came along. Like most Mothers, she knows that just doesn't happen anymore. While there are many spills and stains, one she had the hardest time with was from a purple putty stain. Her girls smashed the putty down into the carpet. While she was able to remove the putty, the stain remained behind for months . . . until she tried Genesis 950. Using it at a 1 part 950 to 7 parts water ratio, she was able to remove the stain! Just see the before and after photos!

Nicole at Organic Sunshine is a Mother, a Blogger and a consumer concerned about the products she uses. She strives to ensure that products as well as food are free of harmful chemicals. This made Genesis 950 a perfect fit for her. Not only is Genesis 950 green and safe, it is effective.

Her review touched on 2 different stains. The most popular use for Genesis 950 is for pet stains. It works like no other cleaner. Instead of using harsh chemicals, Genesis 950 works with water to break the bonds of stains and remove them from the surface. In doing so, it also removes the odor. Nicole's dog Bailey had left a little surprise for her on a rug. She put Genesis 950 to the test and found that yes, it did remove the stains, and even better, it removed that lingering odor! She writes "This stuff really works for pet stains and odor!"

Her second use for Genesis 950 involved ink. This is a perfect fir for Genesis 950 as the origin of the product is to remove ink stains. Since the 1980's Genesis 950 has been used in industrial printing presses to clean spilled ink. Because industrial ink is so much more tough than ink you find in pens, make up, or in Nicole's case ink from silk screen printing, removing the stains was not a difficult task for Genesis 950.

Nicole used Genesis 950 to remove tough stains that other cleaners can't touch. Not only does it work, but it is safe! In summary, Nicole writes, "Genesis 950 is an effective cleaner and a must have for any household."

Remove Pet Stains & Pet Odor From Carpet Safely With Green Genesis 950

Remove Pet Stains & Clean Carpet

Throughout the year, carpets can take a toll. Everyday life can leave a mark on your carpets. Spilled food and drinks, art and craft projects, smudged makeup, spilled paint, muddy boots and pets can leave your carpet unsightly and embarrassing. In addition to the visible stains, there is also buildup in carpet. From dander to pollen, unseen particles can cause health related issues which aggravate allergies and skin conditions. Even further below the carpet, bacteria can promote mold growth which can cause respiratory issues and destroy your carpet. 

Keeping carpet clean is an important task and should be done not just to keep your house looking presentable, but also to reduce factors that can contribute to poor health. Spring and Fall are the best times to give your carpet a thorough cleaning to remove any buildup which has settled into the carpet over the seasons. However it always seems the carpet needs to be cleaned when it is most inconvenient. An unexpected spill 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 of these cleaners are unsafe. Many contain harsh chemicals that can impose health risks. Simple Green contains 2-buthoxyethanol, which can damage red blood cells and irritate the eyes. Spot Shot may be fatal if inhaled. Febreeze, 409 and other ammonium or ethonalamine based can cause and 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 the dangers in a number cleaning products. 

In addition to being unsafe, many household cleaners do not properly remove stains. Many of these cleaners contain toxins which will alter the carpet. A proper cleaner can safely break down the stain. Genesis 950 is a safe, green cleaner which uses water as it's primary mode to remove stains. Genesis 950 is a surfactant based cleaner. A surfactant based cleaner uses water to make a stained area water soluble. When a stain becomes water soluble, it's bonds are broken. Once the bonds of a stain are broken, it loses it's adherence to the surface it has been attached to. It can then be rinsed from the surface. 

Genesis 950 can be used as a spot cleaner to target specific stains, or it can be used in a machine to clean entire carpets. Either way, it is the best cleaner for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it is safe. It does not contain any regulated chemicals like other cleaners. There is no 2-buthoxyethanol, ammonium or ethonalamine. Genesis 950 will not provoke asthma, respiratory issues, or fatal reactions. It is a green product, designed with the safety of the environment, pets, children and families in mind. Genesis 950 can handle all types of stains. Initially designed in the early 80's, it has been used for decades to remove industrial ink from printing presses. In 2011 it was made available to the public as a general all purpose cleaner. Because of it's ability to break down food stains, makeup stains, paint stains, and even pet stains, it has become one of the most popular carpet cleaners on the market. 

Pet owners love Genesis 950 because it can remove vomit and urine stains as well as odors. It does so without harming the surface being cleaned, or the pet. In addition to removing stains, it also removes odors. 

Remove Pet Stains & Odors From Carpet

Pet urine and vomit can make carpet unsightly. It can also cause a great deal of frustration when it comes to cleaning them. If not properly cleaned, it can also cause a shift in the bathroom patterns of pets. Animals, both cats and dogs, urinate where they smell they have gone before. If an area is not properly cleaned, they will be drawn to that spot repeatedly. Unfortunately, some people follow some terrible advice in regards to cleaning pet stains and find themselves with an animal that keeps going in that spot.

The worst advice by far is the recommendation of vinegar as a solution to clean pet stains. Vinegar, as well as ammonia, has a pH level with an acidic base. This pH level is comparable of that found in urine. As a result, the acidic odor confuses your pet into thinking that is the spot to go to the bathroom. Even the Humane Society advises to stay away from vinegar and ammonia. Likewise, cleaning products containing ammonium compounds have

the same effect. It is for this reason you see so many people baffled that their pets won't stop going in the house. More often than not, it is not a housebreaking issue, but an issue revolving around cleaners used that draw animals to urinate in the spot they were used.

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.

Another huge misconception is that baking soda or air fresheners will remove the odor. This is false. Baking soda is a neutralizer when introduced to an acidic component.

Neutralizing and odor is not the same as deodorizing. 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 do not neutralize or deodorize them. Genesis 950 kills the bacteria in the carpet and completely removes the odor . . . safely!

This carpet was full of pet stains. It was cleaned with

traditional cleaners over the course of several years. The cleaners themselves created more staining and left discolored blotches throughout the carpet. Typically, these cleaners are soap based. As soap attracts dirt, the marks left behind by those cleaners only became more prominent as time went on.

Because the cleaners used did not deodorize the area, the pets repeatedly went to the bathroom throughout the carpet. This was not a housebreaking issue. It was an issue caused by the odor not being properly removed and the animals being drawn back to that spot as their bathroom.
Pet stains, as well as other stains, should be cleaned using a steam cleaning or carpet cleaning machine. There are a number of machines available for retail consumers. They are great investments, as they can restore carpet and keep your home clean. For those who prefer, these machines can be rented from local grocery and hardware stores. Genesis 950 is compatible with all types of cleaning machines.

To remove pet stains, and the associated odors, Genesis 950 should be used at a mixing ratio of 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water. Typical cleaning recommendations for general cleaning are 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water, however pet stains can be more persistent and for this reason, the ration can be increased. In extreme cases, Genesis 950 can be mixed with water at a 50/50 ratio. There should not be more water than Genesis 950 though as it is the water which activates it and enables the stain to be broken down.

After being cleaned in a machine at a ratio of 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water, the pet stains and odor were completely removed, as were the marks left behind from other cleaners.

Genesis 950 can also tackle surface stains. Whether it's food, make up or unknown stains, use 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.

In addition to pet stains, Genesis 950 removes many other types of stains.
