RMR-86 Mold Stain Remover

Had years worth of dark mold/mildew stains on bathroom ceiling. Put off cleaning because of hours of scrubbing required by tsp and other similar solutions. This product says spray and it works in 15 seconds. To be honest, I was skeptical. When it arrived, I sprayed a spot to test and watched the second hand on my watch - 15 seconds and the test spot was clean. My wife has done the entire bathroom and looks like new. Started with 2 32 oz bottles which wasn't quite enough so I bought a gallon. HIGHLY recommend having a window open - VERY strong bleach like scent. The smell will also take a while to dissipate but definitely worth it. As an added bonus, the product is made in USA by a veteran owned business.

Ok, seriously, if you’re brave AND a home owner, BUY THIS. This is the literally the BEST product for mold or mildew i have ever used. YES, it may need to be evaluated by the Chernobyl Nuclear Assessment Team down the road, but PLEASE let me explain and leave some application pointers #1) If you're not using PPE + a respirator, make SURE you only plan to work on small patches at a time, and in a well ventilated area you can get in and out of to fresh air quickly. I cannot stress this enough. This stuff is STRONG. As in...BLEACH x about 5. You can Taste It. Do NOT BREATH IT! If you can, hold your breath, hold the bottle at a safe distance, spray the area quickly, then runaway! “Spray. Then Runaway.” #spraythenrunaway #2) Get a CLEAN towel and place it under the door crack of the room you run out of after spraying. use it, ALWAYS! Clean towel is your buddy here. #3) After 15 minutes, Hold your breath and check out your progress carefully. It dries VERY quickly and the smell/fumes drop to a good 1/2 of what they are during initial application. Again, wait AT LEAST 15 minutes before checking. More mold? Spray a bit more in the areas that need it, ...runaway #spraythenrunaway, ....wait 15 more mins and check again....same process as above. #4 Repeat protocol until about 15-25% of mold or mildew remains. #5 WAIT 2-5 HOURS then check again. At this point, the mold should be almost 100% gone. #6 IF more application needed, repeat process again as many times as needed, ....then proceed to fortune and glory. My Actual Spray Process I used on our Bathroom Window Casing: 1. Remove Blinds. 2. Cut large piece of cardboard out to use as a mask for window vinyl, steel or fibrex behind the wood casing. 3. Grab paper towels, about 10 squares and fold them into little wads that can be stuffed at the bottom of the window sill's left and right sides to catch the runoff from the vertical side casings. 4. Grab a small ziplock bag to store the used paper towels in and keep them sealed up and the fumes contained. You can just leave that in the sink. 5. Get a fan and set to low about 3 feet from the open window and blowing toward it. 6. Grab your cardboard and your RMR 86, take a deep breath, hold it....hit the left side wood casing, using the cardboard as a mask for the window behind the casing, hit the right side, same process. Do NOT try and do the top casing, or spray will potentially come back down on you and get on your skin. Don't overspray. Just hit them quickly enough to cover each side. About 15-20 seconds total should be fine. Stuff paper towel squares in the lower right and left window frame, runaway! (for me, I closed the door behind me and stuffed a paper towel under it. Worked like a charm as the smell never got into the rest of the house. 15 minutes later, I cautiously walked back in each time, smelling carefully from a distance and as I approached, as I said, the fumes and volatility drops a LOT after the first 15 minutes but is still STRONG! I removed the paper towels used to capture the runoff in the lower left and right sills, sealed them in the baggie, dropped it back in the sink. Then went outside the room to fresh air, took another deep breath and repeated step 6. Our casing was BAD, so I had to hit it about 4x over an hour. For me, and because I was doing such a small area with plenty of ventilation, I did not go full PPE or respirator. I used long dish gloves, goggles and held my breath each application, keeping the airflow via a fan pushing air OUT the wide open window and as to move any overspray or fumes outside asap. The first application, not a lot of difference. Second, BIG difference. By application 4, 85% of the mold and mildew were gone and we were looking at CLEAN wood. Next morning, I checked and the mold was 100% GONE...so this stuff KEEPS working long after that 15 minute mark. I'd say it likely keeps working up to 24 hours after application so expect to see additional progress on the affected area up to a day later. For the TOP casing, I waited until the sides were treated as explained above. Then 2 days later, I used the same ventilation setup as before. This time, I grabbed a paint brush, poured a tiny bit of rmr 86 into a plastic cup, and lightly painted it onto the top casing, still wearing gloves and goggles. It took more applications...i believe 5 or 6, but was a lot less stressful as I was using so little of the stuff and the fumes, although still bad, were no where near what spraying did. Each application, I'd let sit 15-20 mins, and I kept the paint brush and tiny bit of RMR solution in a cup in the sink so I could just grab and go each new session or dump out with running water. This worked well on the top casing as it was no where NEAR as caked as the left and right sides were, but something tells me, spraying/aerating this stuff out of the bottle must increase effectiveness, as it IS a corrosive and reacts with O2. I'd say if you're doing ANY job larger than what I described here, go Full PPE with Respirator and make SURE the room you are working out of is well ventilated and siphoned OFF from the rest of the house. If you're just squirting a few corners of your bathroom...1-2 squirts, 1 area at a time, then gloves, eye protection and lotsa of ventilation should be fine. Higher up areas, I'd recommend the paintbrush trick. And I'd personally NEVER try and spray multiple areas in the same room...I'd do 1 at a time and leave. Even a few squirts in a few areas adds up fast, and you don't want to create a potential "fume trap" by which you get a breath of lingering spray and burn your lungs/throat, etc. Not worth it!

This actually works!!! I had many black and yellow mold, stains on my paint, and after spraying most of the spots just once within two or three minutes full of the stains were completely gone! I transferred this to a smaller spray bottle so I can use it in the future if needed, but I was able to use less than 16 ounces for an entire bathroom which is pretty impressive. Super simple to use just spray it and be careful. Do not stand under it if you’re spraying it on a ceiling so it doesn’t drop down on you and make sure to wear a mask as it is a very strong chemical smell.

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.

This is my second purchase of this product. I bought the RMR-86 Instant Mold and Mildew Stain Remover for stubborn stains in my bathroom, and it worked great. I used it on mold stains in grout and the results were almost better than I expected. The stains started were taken care of with very little scrubbing, just a light pass with a toothbrush. It worked very easily and saved me a ton of time compared to other cleaners I’ve tried that require repeated applications or hard scrubbing. One small improvement would be the strong smell during use, good ventilation is definitely a must. That said, the effectiveness more than makes up for it. After using it, the surfaces looked noticeably cleaner and brighter, and the stains haven’t come back so far. Overall, this is a powerful, no-nonsense cleaner that does exactly what it promises and is well worth having on hand for tough mold and mildew problems.

If you're questioning whether or not to buy it, just buy it. I sprayed it the Coke in our bathroom and came back the next day and it was almost all white. I was very impressed. It does have a strong smell so if you're sensitive to that I'd open several windows. The spray bottle itself can get a little janky sometimes and you end up getting the product on your hand which I try to wash off immediately but all in all it's a great product. It's not going to get off every single thing but it will whiten up most.

This stuff is amazing!!!!! I live in a very old house built in the 1800’s and my bathroom has no fan in it so it gets moldy quick, I bought this and spray my shower all the mold disappeared. I spray my shower, shower liner and caulking and it’s all stayed mold free and looks good. Only downfall is that the smell is so strong and since I don’t have a fan I gotta hurry spray and leave immediately or I inhale all those fumes. 100% recommend

Was looking for a product that truly worked. Now a days I find myself very dubious on things I purchase especially with the cost of things, I am over spending money on products that do not work. I must say this product definitely delivered. I was happy with the results not much scrubbing remove the mold as if it never existed. Will definitely buy again when I need it.
