Description
When used according to directions and for small spots in bathrooms or on appliances, mold removers are safe for homeowner use. However, it’s very important to take the necessary steps to keep yourself safe when cleaning.
As mildew grows, it releases spores that cause other colonies to form. Unless you completely remove all of the spores, it is possible for mildew to keep returning, especially if the conditions welcome its growth. This often occurs in humid environments and rooms, such as on the shower walls of a bathroom. If contained to non-porous surfaces, it can be fairly straightforward to manage and remove. But if there is an issue, such as a water leak that led to the mildew growth in the first place—or if you’re unsure what the source of the mildew is—it’s a good idea to call on a mold remediation specialist to test for mold in your home and safely remove it from all affected porous surfaces, including wall and flooring materials.Mildew is a type of mold, often found in flat growth in damp places like bathrooms. Mold can refer to a much larger group of fungal growth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mold can be found indoors or outdoors year-round. This gel formula is ideal for tiles and grout, because you can apply it exactly where it needs to go. The nozzle is tapered for precision application, and the gel consistency keeps it from sliding or running all over the place. It is safe for a variety of surfaces in addition to tile and grout, such as glass, toilets, and some countertops. It doesn’t contain bleach, but it is still a good idea to test it on a small, discreet area before applying it all over the surface. CLR is a household name when it comes to removing unwanted stains from surfaces around your home. Its Mold & Mildew Clear formula doesn’t use bleach, so it’s safe for everything from painted walls to car tires. It is also effective in spaces that commonly experience mildew, including bathrooms and kitchens.
For best results on fabrics and upholstery, hold the spray bottle four to six inches away and spray until wet without saturating your item, then allow to air dry for at least five minutes. For hard, non-porous surfaces, it’s important to pre-clean before application. Then, spray and let air dry, repeating every seven days for severe mold. To use, just spray from the ready-to-use spray bottle, and let the solution sit for a few seconds. Wipe away any mold or mildew with a rag. You shouldn't need to scrub heavily, even on stubborn stains. The product was originally developed in 2013 by Chris Atkinson, the founder of RMR-86, who worked in restoration and remediation.Showers and bathtubs are notorious for housing mold and mildew because of their humid, damp, and usually dark environment. To effectively kill mold in bathrooms, we recommend Clorox Plus Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover. The bottle’s Smart Tube technology also allows it to spray every drop and avoid waste. Emma Phelps revised this roundup to provide more context for each recommended product. Phelps also conducted research for this roundup by speaking with Michael Rubino. Rubino is an indoor air quality and mold expert, the author of The Mold Medic, and the founder of HomeCleanse, "a revolutionary company with the vision to end the worldwide health epidemic caused by poor air quality and toxic indoor environments."Rubino is a council-certified Mold Remediator by IICRC and ACAC and a contributing member, sponsor, and speaker for the Indoor Air Quality Association.
Before choosing a mold remover, Rubino says it’s important to find one compatible with your affected surface. These include porous, non-porous, and semi-porous. According to Rubino, porous surfaces include fabrics and carpets, while non-porous surfaces include finished woods and sealed countertops. Finally, semi-porous refers to surfaces like leather and some types of plastic. It can be used on a wide range of non-porous surfaces, including walls, tiles, shower curtains, grout and window frames. With regular use, the product promises to not only eliminate existing mould but also keep its likelihood of return low – though we couldn’t test this ourselves. Application is easy too. Carefully apply the product to the affected area – we tested it on the bathroom grout – then leave it for a few minutes before wiping it clean. When in doubt, always call in a professional to help you with your mold removal. They have the know-how to identify, treat, and help prevent spores in your home.Once mold and mildew have been removed from a surface, it’s common for them to leave behind dark, pesky stains. To get rid of these and leave your surface sparkling clean, we recommend Zep Mold and Mildew Stain Remover. Using the power of bleach, this product eliminates dirt, stains, and grime on toilet bowls, sinks, tubs and more and can leave grout and other surfaces like new. Products designed to get rid of mold spots work by targeting the spore (or root) of the mold. (Note: this does not mean the root cause, which is moisture.) After you apply the product, most formulas require you to wait a few minutes. During this period, the product is destroying mold spores at the roots with the help of a fungicide. At the same time, other active ingredients, like ammonium in some formula, works to clean and disinfect the treated surface. Many mold removers also work to prevent growth by leaving behind an antimicrobial coating. The "prevention" part of a formula is known as a mildewstat. Keep in mind that this mold remover is explicitly designed to kill mold and mildew fungus that may be growing on the surface level. Despite the presence of ammonium, you will want to scrub the area and completely clean the affected room to be sure all mold spores are removed, per Rubino's guidance. Also, while we appreciate this formula's broad application potential, it is not a mold stain remover. If months or years of buildup have left lots of stains behind, you may need to use a separate product to remove the discoloration. If you’re using the product for the first time, it’s usually best practice to test it on a small, out-of-sight area on the surface you want to clean. You should also be sure to follow any safety conditions that are stated on the product. Mold is not only unsightly, but it can pose real risks to both your health and your home. If you’ve spotted mold on any surface, getting rid of it will take a little time, patience, elbow grease, and, most importantly—a powerful and effective cleaner.
We were genuinely impressed by the results, not only because of the price point but because it can be used in a wide range of settings. Another bonus is that its delicate apple scent offered a refreshing change from harsher chemical smells you often get with these products. Astonish comes with eco credentials, too, as it’s cruelty-free, vegan-friendly and the bottle can be recycled. What kind of surface do you plan to use it on? Some mould removers are specifically created to target mould in certain environments or on specific materials. For example, if you need to remove mould from a pair of curtains, you will need to seek out a fabric-friendly mould remover. The 12 Best All-Purpose Cleaners of 2023 Questions You Might Ask How can you tell if you have mold or mildew? Removing mold does require some elbow grease, even when you're dealing with small spots in your home, but choosing the right product can make application easier. Mold removers typically come in spray bottles that give thorough, uniform coverage—even in hard-to-reach areas. Every remover on our list either comes in a spray bottle or has the option to buy a separate spray top attachment. Not only are the stains they leave behind unsightly, mold and mildew can also impact air quality and lead to health problems if left untreated.
If you'd prefer to avoid using strong chemicals when washing away mold growth, consider the plant-based Botanical Decon 30 Disinfectant from Benefect. Unlike other mold removers that contain strong chemical agents to help clean surfaces, like ammonium, this formula does not. Botanical Decon 30 is a very gentle formula that has no chemicals or dyes present. That being said, it's not a fungicide—which means it's not designed to kill mold spores. "Benefect washes away mold spores and their food sources, so it removes a large amount of the mold and reduces mold growth," notes Homer. To find the best mold removers, we spent hours researching products, considering factors like type, ingredients, and compatibility with different surfaces. We also received tips on how to choose and use mold removers from Michael Rubino, founder of HomeCleanse and author of The Mold Medic. If you prefer to take a gentler approach towards your household cleaning, there are mould remover products out there to match. EcoZone’s non-toxic mould remover is free from bleach and can be used on a wide range of surfaces including grout, sealant and window sills. Ensure the doors of the affected rooms are kept shut to limit the spread of moisture around your home.
