PATIO CLEANING
|
Make the most of your patio with a good thorough cleaning. Genesis 950 is a versatile cleaner both inside and outside. As a Green cleaner, Genesis 950 allows you to clean outdoors without worrying about hazardous chemicals being released into the atmosphere, your yard or the sewer system.
genesis 950 contains no regulated chemicals. Regulated chemicals are chemicals that need to be monitored or used in accordance with regulations to prevent illness or damage to the environment. Because Genesis 950 does not contain any of these chemicals, you can clean without sacrificing the health of you or your family. Outdoors, Genesis 950 can come in handy for cleaning a number of things. Clean grills, patio furniture and concrete. Remove stains from rainwater, mold, mildew, birds, bugs and other elements of nature. |
CLEAN OUTDOOR RUGS
|
Outdoor rugs add an entirely new look to outdoor patios. Being outside they are exposed to elements that can damage them. Rain and moisture can cause mold growth and collect dirt. Stains and spills from cookouts can create stains. This rug has been exposed to everything you can imagine. Grass stains, mold growth, food spills and even grease and oil stains from lawn tools. While the rug looks like it should be replaced, Genesis 950 has the cleaning power to restore the carpet to it's original state.
|
|
To clean the rug, use Genesis 950 in a spray bottle at a ratio of 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water. Looking at the stain, because it's so bad, one might be inclined to use Genesis 950 straight. There is no need for this. In fact, Genesis 950 works better with water as It activates Genesis 950. It is important the water ratio is greater than the 950 ratio. Spray the stained areas and ensure they are thoroughly saturated. Allow the mixture to soak into the carpet for a few moments. As the mixture soaks into the carpet, it will work to break down the stains.
|
|
After the mixture has been given time to soak into the stained areas, begin to scrub the treated areas. You can see in the photo how the stain has already lightened from the mixture of Genesis 950 and water. As you continue to scrub the area, you will see it cleans up quite easily. This particular stain is mold and engine grease. These stains have been set in for months. Traditional cleaners would have a hard time removing these stains without damaging the carpeting!
|
|
Once the stained areas have been scrubbed, rinse the areas clean. Because this is an outdoor rug, designed to withstand water, it can easily be rinsed using a garden house. And because Genesis 950 is environmentally friendly, the runoff will not kill the grass or leave harmful chemicals to seep into the soil. In this photo you can see a lot of foaming. This foaming is NOT from the Genesis 950, but rather foam from previous cleaners that were used (and clearly did not work) to clean the rug. In addition to breaking down stains, Genesis 950 also removes residue left behind from other cleaning products.
|
|
Once the rug has been rinsed, you can see the difference Genesis 950 has made. This rug went from a dingy, completely stained rug to a carpet that looks brand new. Allow the rug to dry thoroughly. No need to spend money on a brand new rug!

CLEAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE
|
Wicker is one of the most popular types of outdoor furniture because of how well it withstands weather. Birds love wicker furniture too!!! This chair has become a favorite perch for some Sparrows with a nearby nest. While wicker is resilient, it can also be difficult to clean because of how the wicker intertwines. With typical cleaners, this type of stain needs to be scrubbed off, making it difficult to clean in between layers. This is especially true if the wicker is tightly woven, such as the case in this photo. Trying to pull the wicker to clean in between the woven layers can damage the furniture and loosen the wicker. However Genesis 950 makes cleaning these types of stains very easy.
|
|
To clean lawn furniture, spray the stained area with Genesis 950 and water. Again, the 1/3 Genesis 950 to 2/3 water ratio is recommended. Spray the stained area as thoroughly as possible, Saturating the stain. Because of the location on the chair, it is hard to really soak the area as the solution will run down the chair. It will however be able to collect in the tight weave of the wicker, which will break down any of the stain that has dried in those spots. Because this is a natural stain, it will break down fairly easy and you should see some of the stain breaking down simply by spraying the mixture of Genesis 950 and water onto it. Let it sit for a few moments. This will allow it to work it's way into the stain.
|
|
After the mixture has been allowed to sit for a few moments, rinse the stain away. Again, being outside, simply use the hose. With Genesis 950, there is not even a need to scrub this type of stain. The mixture of Genesis 950 and water work so well at breaking down natural based stains that they simply need to be rinsed away. This will also rinse clean any debris that might have been left in the weave of the wicker. No scrubbing & no damage to your furniture. You can also spray the entire piece of furniture with the Genesis 950 and water mixture to remove any dirt, dust, insect residue, mold, or in the case of metal furniture rusted areas.

Here you can see final outcome of the chair. Now you don't have to worry about people sitting on filthy furniture!

However Genesis 950 isn't just for wicker furniture. You can also use it to clean cushions and cloth upholstery. This photo shows a zero gravity chair that has been stained either by rain or a soda spill. Because these chairs are portable, they see a lot of staining. They are also not cheap. With that being said, it's easier to clean one than to replace one. This stain had been set in for a couple of weeks.
|
|
To remove the stain, spray the area with the 1/3 Genesis 950 and 2/3 water mixture. Be sure to thoroughly saturate the stain. The mixture will allow the Genesis 950 to break down the bonds of the stains and allow the water to saturate the stain. Once you have saturated the area, allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to work itself into the stains.
|
|
As the mixture sits, you will immediately see a difference in the stain. Regardless of what material you are cleaning, Genesis 950 will not damage the material. There is no bleach in the cleaner, so there is no possible way the fabric can be lightened or bleached out. For as tough as Genesis 950 is on stains, it is gentle on the surfaces it is applied to. With many traditional household cleaners, the bleach used can cause significant discoloration to fabric and upholstery.
|
|
After the mixture has been allowed to sit, simply wipe the stain away. Typically stains of this nature do not require a lot of scrubbing. The outdoor carpet did require some scrubbing due to the fact that the stains were not just on the surface, but they were in the fibers of the carpet as well. In the event the stains have not been removed, try either using Genesis 950 at a higher ratio in the mix with water, or allow it to sit on the stain for a longer period of time.
|
|
The chair is now cleaned! Just allow it to dry. This cleaning method is perfect for all types of outdoor furniture. From fold out chairs, to permanent backyard furniture. Easily remove spills, stains, dirt, dust, mold and any other debris that might collect on your chairs. Keep them looking new and ready to use.

CLEAN GRILLS
Grills can take a little more elbow grease than furniture or carpets. They also require more time to clean. Because of this, the grill often doesn't get the attention it deserves. Genesis 950 can make cleaning the grill less of a challenge. And because it's green, Genesis 950 is safe. It will not leave behind chemicals or residue that can be hazardous on areas where food cooking or preparation takes place.
This particular grill was given away by the original owners because of all the grease and buildup. The new owners were happy to take on the challenge of cleaning the grill up, making it like new!

To clean it, Genesis 950 was used at the standard 1/3 ratio with 2/3 water. Every inch of the grill was thoroughly saturated with the mixture. As the mixture soaked into the grease and burnt areas, they began to break apart. After soaking for some time, the grill was rinsed with a pressure washer to break away all of the buildup that had been saturated. When rinsing was complete, the areas that still had buildup were once again coated with the cleaning mixture and allowed to sit for about 5 - 10 minutes. These areas were then cleaned with a scouring pad. There were areas that did require a lot of scrubbing and in many instances a second or third application of the Genesis 950 mixture.
|
Section by section the grill was cleaned. Eventually areas that were dull from layers of grime began to sparkle in the sun. Eventually, the entire grill was clean. While there were some traces of past use, it was nowhere to the extent it had been when the previous owners decided to just give it away.
Needless to say, after seeing it cleaned, they wished they had never let it go! They also order some Genesis 950 immediately to maintain the new grill they bought after making the mistake of passing this one along! |

CLEAN CONCRETE
|
One of our favorite reviewers, Bre at The Small Things, had recently moved into a new apartment. The previous renters had a rubber mat at the front door that stained the concrete. Although she tried EVERYTHING to clean it, nothing removed the stains. That all changed when she used Genesis 950.
To remove the stains, she used Genesis 950 at a mixing ratio of 1/4 Genesis 950 and 3/4 water. She applied the mixture to the concrete and allowed it to sit for a few moments. She then used a scrub brush on the stain. This helps to get into the pours of the concrete. After scrubbing, the stain was rinsed away.. Bre also had another area of stained concrete near her back patio. where the air conditioner unit drips water on the concrete. The mixture of water with the heat of the running unit was a breeding ground for mold. You can clearly see the mold and bacteria growth on the concrete. Again, she saturated the area with the cleaning mixture and let it sit. After two minutes, she began scrubbing. Finally, she rinsed away the stains. The difference is night and day. Another plus, the fact that Genesis 950 is green means it will not kill any grass with the runoff, it will not pollute the yard with toxic chemicals, and it is safe in the event a pet or child decides to explore the area. You can read her full review at The Small Things to see what else she has to say. |
CLEAN BRICK
CLEAN DOORS |
Brick can collect all sorts of build up. Mold, stains from plants, bird droppings, dirt, and dust can all become embedded in brick and grout. Genesis 950 can be used to clean brick and grout without damaging either. In the examples shown, Genesis 950 was again used at the 1/3 to 2/3 water ratio. We have no idea what these stains are! It appears to be some time of mold. The stains were sprayed with the cleaning mixture, allowed to sit and then cleaned off with a towel and rinsed. For tough jobs or a thorough cleaning, use Genesis 950 in a power washer to really get in the nooks and crannies as well as high to reach places. Genesis 950 can also be used to power wash aluminum siding.

CLEAN WOOD TRIM

Genesis 950 is safe on finished wood! Clean window ledges with ease by spraying them down with a mixture of Genesis 950 and water. Remove surface stains! Because Genesis 950 works to lift stains, it is great for older windowsills, frame work and ledges. Genesis 950 can get into indentations to actually pull the dirt and debris from those spots.
By spraying the areas and giving just a few minutes for it to soak in, Genesis 950 works well enough that typically the stains and buildup just wipe off. No need to try to use your fingernail to get into those grooves or imperfections. |
