When it comes to getting a clean carpet, hiring a professional is one option. This can be expensive as some companies can easily charge up to $100 to clean just ONE room! Additionally, they may add charges for different types of cleaning solution needed. Scheduling is another issue to hiring a carpet cleaner, and adjusting your schedule to suit theirs. If you have kids or pets, you may also be worried about what chemicals they are introducing to your home. The there is the dilemma of issues in the event the carpet is cleaned and dried but the stains come back. Do you get a refund? Do you have to go through the process of rescheduling?
Genesis 950 makes carpet cleaning easy and affordable. Genesis 950 works a little different than traditional carpet cleaning solutions. It is a green, surfactant based cleaner that works with water to alter the bonds of stains. As the bond's become altered, the stains lose adherence and lift away from the carpet surface and padding. While breaking stains down, Genesis 950 also has antibacterial elements to kill germs that spread illness, prevent mold growth and remove bacteria. Genesis 950 can be used for general carpet cleaning, or to remove tough stains and heavy traffic areas. It can also be used to spot clean small stains and spills on carpeting, rugs and even upholstery.

Using Genesis 950 to clean carpets saves both time and money. A 2.5 gallon cube of Genesis 950 is enough to clean an entire home for less than the cost of a professional cleaning one room! By cleaning your own carpet, you are not bound to the schedule of the hired professional. You can clean at your convenience.

With Genesis 950 you also don't have to worry about what is being put in your carpet. Genesis 950 contains no regulated chemicals. Regulated chemicals contain hazards that have been linked to respiratory illness, skin irritation, allergies and even more severe symptoms such as cancer or damage to the blood cells. You can clean your carpets knowing that your family and pets will not come in contact with any residue that could harm them.

While there are several other cleaners on the market, many of them are soap based. Soap based cleaners are terrible for carpet. Soap cleans by the method of attraction. When soap is introduced to an area, it pulls dirt and grime towards it. When introduced in carpeting, the soap travels downward during the cleaning process. As it moves downward, it brings dirt and debris with it. Because soap foams and suds, it is very difficult to remove from carpet. Residue left behind continues to attract dirt. As the dirt accumulates in the padding, humidity can bring that dirt to the surface after the carpet has dried. Typically in instances where a stain "reapears", it is because a soap based cleaner had been used. On the surface, soaps can leave a greasy, grimy coating on the carpet fibers. Being a surfactant, Genesis 950 breaks down and removes stains by flushing them out. It will even break down and remove residue left behind in the carpet. This leaves your carpet feeling soft and looking plush.
With Genesis 950 you can clean what you want, when you need to clean. No need to try to find an opening in a professional's schedule. With the availability of carpet cleaning machines, there's no reason why you can't clean your own carpets.
Home carpet cleaning machines can be relatively inexpensive, and certainly lower than the cost of having a professional clean your carpet. The Bissell pro Heat is one of the most popular carpet cleaning machines. These machines are fairly lightweight and easy to use. They have 2 tanks for cleaning. One tank holds clean water and the other holds solutions. Machines like these automatically measure the amount of solution used based on settings like "Low," "Medium" and "Heavy". These can be adjusted based on your cleaning needs. For a general carpet cleaning, select "Low." For pet stains or high traffic areas, select "Heavy." There is also a rinse cycle. This makes flushing what has been cleaned from the carpet very easy.

Some machines with larger tanks, particularly units available for rental or industrial machines, give the user more control as to how much solution is being used. Typically, these machines have one tank where the water and solution are mixed together by the user.
With Genesis 950, fill the tank based on your cleaning needs. if you are give giving your carpet a general cleaning, fill the tank 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. In the event you have pet stains or high traffic areas, fill the tank with 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water. In extreme cases, you can go as high as a 50/50 mix. Be sure to never exceed this ratio and having more water than Genesis 950 is crucial in ensuring that the solution can become active. if you use more Genesis 950 than water, you will not achieve better results. Less is more! |
Regardless of which machine type you use, Genesis 950 makes cleaning easy. Simply fill your machine with the desired ratio of solution or set your machine to the setting needed. Slowly go over the carpet ensuring that enough solution is being released to saturate the carpet fibers. If you have odor issues, you will want the solution to soak into the padding to break down the odor causing bacteria and stains.
After slowly going over the carpet, give the solution time to soak in. This will allow it to make the stains water soluble and lift them from the surface or padding. For general cleaning, allow the carpet to sit for about 30 - 45 minutes. For heavier stains, allow the carpet to soak for about 1 - 2 hours. |
After enough time has elapsed, fill your tank with only clean water, or change the setting to rinse. Slowly go over the entire area where solution was applied. The clean water will flush out everything that has been broken down by the soaking solution. Upon your first attempt to rinse, the return water will come back blackish. This is as a result of the solution breaking down not only the stains, but any dirt, dust and dander within the padding. Continue to rinse until the water comes back clear. Your first time rinsing with Genesis 950 may take several times to rinse as so much "gunk" will been broken down within the carpet. In this case, rinse until satisfied. If you see a lot of foaming or sudding, this is not the Genesis 950. This is the 950 breaking down and removing the residue left behind from other cleaners.
