Star brite Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, 1 Gallon Spray Cleaner, 085600N
Star brite Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, 1 Gallon Spray Cleaner, 085600N
Star brite Mold & Mildew Stain Remover (085600N) is a 1 gallon, ready-to-use spray cleaner that removes mold and mildew stains on contact, without heavy scrubbing. Its high-alkaline, triple-action formula combines buffered-bleach technology to lift mold and mildew stains, chelating agents to break down ground-in dirt, and surfactants to cut through grease and grime. The buffered-bleach formulation is designed to be gentler on marine and outdoor upholstery and outdoor acrylic fabrics, including Sunbrella, than unbuffered bleach-water mixes or diluted supermarket cleaners, and it will not harm stitching or threads.
Simply spray the product on, let it sit until the stain disappears (most stains clear in 15 to 30 seconds), then rinse. Stubborn stains may need a second application with light scrubbing. It is suited for use on boat seats, boat covers, bimini tops, T-tops, bolsters, vinyl cushions and chairs, awnings, fiberglass, wood, concrete, drywall, siding, tile and grout, gutters, roofs, and most outdoor acrylic fabrics. Always test an inconspicuous area for colorfastness before overall use, and do not use on wood or painted surfaces unless refinishing or repainting is planned. It is not recommended for indoor fabrics or clothing. This is a bleach-based stain remover, so it removes existing stains but does not kill the underlying mold or mildew organism; for ongoing prevention, follow up with a dedicated mildew stain blocker product.
