20 Best Mold And Mildew Remover For Shower (2023 Updated)

Kaboom! Always understands the assignment and does exactly everything it’s supposed to do. The only thing that kills me is the smell. I really don’t care for it. But, it’s doesn’t linger so that saves it.

It’s definitely a 10/10 for me.

The pro is that it totally works! I’ve gone through many, many cleaners to get rid of mold stains on the grout of my small tiles in my 90s shower and nothing worked. scrubbed with the toothbrush, used chemicals, natural stuff, nothing worked.

this works basically on contact and with a toothbrush on grout, it looks like new. Highly recommend wearing a mask while using it and having some kind of ventilation as it has very strong bleach/chemical smell.

The other thing I noticed is after you initially clean it with this it really does a decent job preventing the mold and mildew from building up again.

Really bleaches out mildew. I used it in some rarely-used lockers on my boat that were covered in mildew and the Zep cleaned it right up. Or at least bleached the mildew away, whatever. The lockers looked like new.

I rinsed them out a couple of times to make sure I wasn’t leaving bleach behind to eat away, but all in all, definitely works. Make sure you have good ventilation and wear gloves!.

I had a bathroom shower re-tiled in 2011, 6 years ago. I had it professionally done, so wanted it to last. It was not cheap, and I am. Was advised NEVER TO TOUCH YOUR TILES WITH ANYTHING ABRASIVE! You’ll deglaze your tiles and wreck your grouting.

It’s why Tiling is such a great business to be in. People wreck their tile the second they start scrubbing. How do you clean that part of the shower, with all that grout and grout sealant to worry about! Once ever 2 months, I spray Zep Mold and Mildew stain remover on my shower while it’s still wet from my shower.

We are a family of 5 and that shower gets used constantly. This product not only keeps the tiles clean, stripping off soap, shampoo and conditioner residue, but it seems to settle into the pores of the surfaces, caulk, and grout, making sure mold mildew and scum are never get hold.

Seems to solve things for about 8 weeks, protecting it from getting”grossness” as my son used to call it. Skip the wiping step on the bottle, says my tile guy. Even that’s too dangerous for the grout, and will quickly damage the grout sealant coating.

Couldn’t say enough about this ultra-strength chlorine based cleaner. I’ve used it on the outside of my hanging roof gutters as well, the greyness just melts off with a gentle spray. Only side note, spray and vacate the bathroom with the fan on, let this stuff sit in the wetness, then spray it down or let the next shower naturally remove what’s left.

It’s why community swimming pools deck surfaces never get mildew, the chorine inhibits any growth. Sounds too good to be true, no more squigy, no more using a towel to dry down my beautiful Italian tile.

Magnifico!.

I believe you’ve reached peak adulthood when you find the best cleaner where it cleans the bathroom so well it gives the impression that you’ve been on your hands and knees scrubbing for hours, when, in fact, all you did was spray this magical solution! I kid you not, this is the holy grail of natural bathroom cleaners — and believe me, I’ve tried SEVERAL; none work like this one.

I had nasty soap **** all over the shower doors that I had to scrub and scrub with other cleaners to get it off. This cleaner? Spray it on (best after showering when it’s still wet) and if you feel like it, you can scrub, just to get that immediate gratification.

Otherwise, you have to do is spray it on and it does the job for you! I didn’t think much the first time I sprayed it, but hubs commented that something smelled good (it’s like a light citrus orangey-lemon scent, not overpowering), and the next time I hopped in the shower I was blown away that all the soap **** was gone! I’m legit talking GONE!!! I highly recommend this cleaner to anyone; it’s the best on the market, clean ingredients, and does the dirty work so you don’t have to!.

This works amazing in my front load washer. It’s gets rid of the mildew around the rubber ring and keeps it from coming back for a few weeks. I just spray it and leave it. It cleans mildew on any surface I’ve used it on.

Our car mechanic told us to use it on the air conditioning to get rid of smelly odors we had every time we used the air conditioning in an Explorer we owned. Worked like a charm. It does have a strong, unpleasant scent and will leave bleach marks on anything bleach does so be careful.

It works so well that I didn’t deduct a star for these cons.

I never leave reviews for products but I’m making an exception. I sprayed this on mildew stains in my tub and they literally disappeared in seconds. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve been thinking about it all day- it was incredible.

I know it’s probably lame that I get excited about mildew stain remover but I don’t care- this was like a dang magic show.

I absolutely HATE this new brand. I have bought it twice thinking it would get better but it didn’t. It does not clean as well as the original brand and has a more powerful clorox smell. If I want to use Clorox I will just use Clorox and water to clean with.

I love Clorox for other uses but I want the Tilex Mold&Mildew Remover Refreshing Breeze that worked great in my shower, toilet and tile floors. I will be using another brand because this is not the Tilex of old.

I also waste my time going to many different store looking for the original brand only to find this less effective new formula. You have lost a faithful customer and I will be sharing with everyone I have told to buy the old formula not to waste their money on this new brand.

I will be watching to see if you go back to the original product but until then good bye.

Been using this product for quite some time now. Everything from bathroom cleaning to power washing the house exterior. Terrific product. It IS getting harder to find in the stores and online. Thank goodness for Jet.

com. Their price is really competitive and shipping/delivery is quick. Good solid packaging with NO leaks or crushed containers. Tilex and Jet. com are a real super team. Thank you.

Great refill size. I have individual smaller spray bottles in each bathroom and refill them with this gallon size. Love Tilex to clean bathrooms. Trying to be green and have less plastic to recycle.

Hell ya good stuff I spray my fence with it because algae grows like wild fire here. And kills it cleans it without scrubbing.

I began using this stuff about 3 years ago and i’m hooked. It works it’s magic slowly but surely as it’s exposed to the weather conditions. The first time using it did take a few weeks to notice a difference and from that point on was a clear noticeable difference.

It has worked faster each year since. I apply in early Spring so it has a chance to do it’s magic and by Summer it’s pretty much done. My sidewalks, stairs, pavers, brick, and vinyl fence look like new! My house sticks out like a sore thumb in a good way compared to the rest of neighbors on my block.

It’s clean and looks like a newly built home.

so. i was skeptical. okay. very skeptical. At the end of winter i went into my son’s (unused) closet, only to discover, over winter, it was taken over by mold. i took bleach to it amd scrubbed. and scrubbed.

and scrubbed. no such luck. i startled googling ideas and what i could use on it, and then started googling reviews of those products. which led me to purchase this. within SECONDS of spraying. the mild disappeared! it was literally like a magic trick and my boys and i were shocked watching it.

their entire closet was like new within 5min of starting and spraying everything. my ONLY suggestion, use a fan! the closet was enclosed and my eyes and throat definitely startee burning and watering.

i threw a fan in there and closed it off until the smell dissipated. i am recommending this product a million times over and over again!!!!.

We recently had a new walk in shower installed in our apartment for me since I’m disabled. The contractor installed beautiful white subway tile. I wanted to make sure my gorgeous new shower stayed looking as good as new.

My husband & son spray this all over the tiles and shower curtain after every shower. So far my lovely white tile is still as shiny & beautiful as ever!.

This is without doubt the best product on the market for removing mould & mildew! I have used a ton of different products over the years and this is by far the best. I couldn’t get any for months during the beginning of the pandemic, and came dangerously close to running out – panic stations! Now I always stock up when I see it on offer.

I absolutely love the stuff and couldn’t bear to be without it!.

House is painted white but after a few years started showing unsightly pink discolouration in lots of places. Tried power hosing off with no success. Found out it was a type of mould so I purchased the stain blaster.

I sprayed the offending areas and left for a few hours. To my “astonishment” the staining completely disappeared.

I was very excited to find a product for mildew that didn’t test on animals which is why I bought this. I think it gets rid of mildew very well so I’m rating it mainly on it’s purpose. The downside is this.

The spray comes out kind of foamy so it’s hard to direct it well onto side walls and each spray doesn’t cover a wide area like if it would if it were a finer spray. I thought this was very safe product but label says it can bother skin, eyes, respiratory, etc.

That was disappointing and concerning for me as most non animal tested products are very “green”.

Works amazingly on black spouts on grout. I spray and let sit for a minute and then go back and scrub. Always find myself surprised at how well it works. Even if it is the millionth time. I still find myself excited to see the results.

As others had noted, I have been unable to find in my home area as well as near other family members (checking whereever I go). No where on the mid-Atlantic east coast. What has happened that Food Lion and BJs (nor Harris Teeter or even Walmart) carry this in this region.

Are there other substitutes in your products?.

Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover is extremely effective. When I first tried it, I was living in New York where many bathrooms in apartments do not have windows, and, therefore, do not have a lot of ventilation.

So it is easy for mold and mildew to grow. My sister recommended it to me and my problem was pretty much gone. I just sprayed it and left it for a minute or two and the mold and mildew wiped right off.

A couple of times the mold or mildew grew back in the same place, which made me think that the Tilex had not killed all of it, but for the most part, an area only needed cleaning with Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover once and it would not grow there again.

Although I have given it five stars, there is one drawback, and that is the odor. It has that smell of a very strong cleaning product, which it is, and it helped me to think it was doing its job. But, as I mentioned, my bathroom did not have a lot of ventilation, so I think that was why it would get so bad.

A couple of times I felt sick after using a lot of it, so I would recommend that you open the windows and possibly get a mask if you are bothered the same way I was. But this has not deterred me and Tilex is one of my cleaning staples.

Used this item and it seemed to bring the old damp, moldy, horrible smell to life. Thought it was made to clean and deodorize the smells.

This is great stuff, cleans mold and does not contain bleach so it does not smell like bleach! Great product

Must admit, Ive never understood the more critical reviews of this product on here. In my experience, it has always done what it claims to do. I just wonder if some users have expectations that are a bit unreal, seeing as how this isnt a oneshot instantcure treatment.

Nor could it ever be, otherwise such sheer aggression would be dangerous to life and limb. Over the years, our household has used what was formerly known as Dettox but is now Dettol AntiBacterial Mould and Mildew Remover and never been disappointed with the result.

A friend, however to whom we recommended the product very clearly was, so I popped round one day to see what might be the problem. The answer was the user. Not the product. My friend seemed to expect that one spray was sufficient.

And then, when that didnt work, had sluiced the target surface and promptly resprayed. For some reason, it seemed not to have occurred to him that wiping off first so that the antimould agent can be in direct contact with the intended surface rather than its sheen of water was elementary commonsense.

Doh. Im not sure why there appears to be a supply demand problem where this product is concerned, and especially since Dettol has invested in an attractive new bottle. Tesco used to stock it, yet now tells us that it no longer does.

Impressive, not. Wilkinsons advised that they do, but had no idea when it might be back in stock. Accordingly, we used an Amazon marketplace supplier to order a box of three. They duly arrived by Royal Mail, perfectly packed and with additional protective taping around the spray nozzle just in case.

We have two Mira showers in daily usage here and had noticed that of late, both of the inset white plastic shower heads had begun to display mould blackening, an inevitable and recurring consequence of hot water hot steam in an enclosed space and Id guess, definitely not a pretty sight if viewed under a microscope.

I therefore unscrewed the shower head, popped it in the washbasin, sprayed the upturned head, left it for 5 minutes and never more than that the bleaching element of this spray can mark a chromeeffect surface if too long in place and then ran the cold tap over it and dried with a microfibre cloth.

I then resprayed, left it for another 5 minutes, and rinsed clean. The Mira head is now 90 white again. Tomorrow morning Ill repeat the exercise. In total, four sprays and a task involving minimal effort, minimal time, will as usual restore the head to its clean, original condition both Mira shower heads have been in use for 10 years thanks to this Dettol product, theyre good for another ten.

Recommended then, both for showerhead maintenance and the effective treatment of mouldflecked white grouting. Yes, the mould will return a bathroom, a shower enclosure, are both ideal incubators, and noone has yet invented a product which will permanently inhibit such growth in that kind of environment without seriously hazarding a users health.

Expecting an antimould antibacterial treatment to be an instant or permanent cure is blithely unrealistic as for the criticism that this product, unsurprisingly, leaves the smell of bleach in the air, popping open the bathroom window or running the extractor fan has always solved that problem for us and in any event, Dettol makes it quite clear that the spray should only be used in a wellventilated location.

Kudos to Dettol for being as effective and reliable as ever, and kudos, too, to LightingandMobileAccessoriesUK for good customer service and safe delivery at a very fair price.

Arrived in good time. But had leaked everywhere in the box, I think if it had been kept upright and not on its side, then I think it would of been fine. It was only one bottle that had leaked, but you can imagine it soaked the entire box of 6.

But otherwise I cannot fault this Dettol, Ive been using this for quite sometime now it does exactly what its meant to. As long as you have a window open whilst using it because its a very strong powerful smell and rubber gloves is needed.

It does have a strong smelling of bleach, but it always seems like that freshly deep cleaning smell. I tend to use this in my shower and a good few squirts of this, if any black mould mildew appears leave for about 1015mins boom its disappeared and then I just get some soapy water in a bucket with a scourer to wipe it off.

Its fantastic stuff and I would highly recommend.

This is the ONLY chemical product allowed in my home. Everything else I use is natural but then so is the turmeric I put into my juice which loves to leave yellow stains all over my white silestone worktops With a quick spray of this Dettol, the turmeric stains just lift straight out and my worktops are like new.

I also use this spray occasionally to get rid of limescale in the bathroom or very carefully remove scuffs on white walls but it has a very strong bleach smell and is highly toxic so cover your mouth and nose and dont get onto your skin wash immediately with natural soap if you do.

The best wash to keep shower glass and bathroom sinks and chrome clear is to squeegee glass and walls after showering bathing and then use the grey tea towels I reviewed here on Amazon to wipe everything down.

They are so absorbent, everything is left sparkling and you dont need chemical unless you shower with turmeric.
