⭐ One of my favorite cleaning products is @genesis950concentrate. This green, multi-purpose, surfactant-based cleaner works by breaking down the bonds of a stain and making it water soluble.
⭐ Genesis 950 effectively breaks down grease, oils, food stains, pet stains and dirt. Plus it kills many harmful germs and bacteria!
⭐ It's also economical – Genesis 950 comes in concentrated form in a gallon container which you can use to mix your own spray bottles of cleaner.
⭐ I've been using Genesis 950 multi-purpose cleaner for several years now and it's my go-to favorite for cleaning our kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces and even RV!
⭐ For me, a clean home is a happy home!
