Love it but use with caution
This is one of the most amazing cleaning products I have ever used. It helped me clean my moldy bathroom and restored it to pristine white within minutes. However, to safely use this product, you really have to treat the product and cleaning procedure like a science lab. The people who are having problems with this product aren't. Here's a mini science lesson for you all. Mold have spores that protect the cells and keep them alive under *extreme* conditions. This product is DEFINITELY strong enough to destroy the spores and therefore successfully keeps the molds away. I've sprayed my bathroom months ago and take extremely steamy showers. Still no black or pink mold anywhere. Now here's the catch, in order to destroy spores, the chemical has to be pretty strong... This stuff is advertised as 5x stronger than other chemical cleaning products. The directions on the bottle even asks you to check the MSDS. Think back to chemistry lab where you have to take safety measures, follow instructions carefully, wear goggles, gloves, and cover exposed skin. Remember, this is a VERY POTENT BLEACH. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to use the product. Just know this: 1) If you are working in a small room, ventilate the area before spraying and for long after. 2) Put on a MASK and maybe even goggles. COVER ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO BLEACH. Wear an apron if you're wearing something nice while cleaning. The stream/spray nozzle will splash the product and bleach whatever it touches. You really don't want this to get on anything other than the thing you want to clean. The blue pants I wore have white spots with pink halos now. 2) DO NOT INHALE and THOROUGHLY WASH your hands and anything the product might have touched with water. THOROUGHLY. 3) **MOST IMPORTANT** DO NOT THROW AWAY THAT SCREW CAP THAT CAME WITH THE BOTTLE. Unscrew the spray nozzle and screw the original cap back on to store. ** This last step is where I made my mistake. As a person who's worked in chemistry labs for years, I should have known better. I treated the bottle as any other cleaner and thought I wouldn't have a problem storing it with the spray nozzle still attached. WRONG. The directions aren't explicit enough when it says "Cap bottle after usage." I thought this meant screw the nozzle tighter. You have to close it shut - air tight - with the original cap!! Otherwise, if you store it with the spray nozzle still attached, exactly like how I did and many others who gave bad reviews, the solution leaked out of the spray nozzle and ruined all of my cosmetics and toiletries in the bathroom cabinet. It turned my paper boxes into goop, melted off the waxed paper coverings and revealed the aluminum sheets that lines wet towelettes, and glued the bottoms of the boxes into my white cabinets. I didn't realize what had happened until I saw that a brand new product box had been bleached at the bottom. I picked it up and the whole bottom came off. PEOPLE, this is a highly volatile, highly potent bleach! Treat it as such and it will be a dream to clean whatever mold and mildew you wanted to get rid of. Treat it as anything else, and it can quickly turn into a nightmare. Seller, PLEASE make the safety precautions and directions more clear.
