Finally, Finally found something that works on mold in shower grout.....Mold Armour, $2.99 at Publix......I tried everything, pure bleach to $10.00 a bottle Mold and Tile cleaner....Wanted to pass on to anyone else with this problem...Now debating if a sealer is necessary????

I does work. I've used it for a while. Make sure to use adequate ventilation, it's pretty powerful stuff.

gave it one more blast
 
and shower floor looks like new.....Soooooo glad I discovered this....While in publix, someone else was debating, we exchanged our unsuccessful attempts and concluded that Mold Armour was the ONE!....You won't be disappointed!

jebartle/pooh.... you are good sales reps. Went to the Publix in Colony and there is a big gap next to Publix brand "Mildew Remover". Guess that's where the "Mold Armour" was.... none left in stock. Mr 07 also checked the Publix in So Trace and could not find it.

Any other store locations you know carry it???

I can not wait to get some mold armor myself. I will keep checking for it to be restocked. :thumbup:

I got the last bottle of Mold Armour on the shelf at the Mulberry Publix today.

Sprayed it on 1/2 of the shower floor so I could see the fantastic difference. So..so disappointed. I'm not sure it did anything (and yes, I did follow the directions).

It was worth a try, however, and I thank the poster who suggested it. Glad it worked for them.

Hi Juneroses
 
That is surprising....Hmmm! Could you have a sealer on grout?...I'm not kidding, left on shower floor and it turned pure white in minutes....So sorry it didn't work for you.....

I will see if it works?
 
I am still going to give it a try. My grout is not sealed as I took a dremel tool and removed most of it. Then re-grouted it myself. Good to be retired and do projects that keep you busy.

I'am curious about...
 
The "Active Ingredients" That are (or SHOULD be) posted on the label. If anyone has a bottle handy and can tell me I would appreciate it.

Actually, I have a feeling I know what it is but I'am just wondring in what formulation it is being used.

My guess is you can buy a whole GALLON of the stuff at a pool supply store for pennies, compared to what this spray bottle cost.

Thanks
Dave

IF....your installer used acrylic based grout...instead of the cheaper sand based....you can simply use white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda and a brush....Worked fine in several homes, for the last twenty years. It will foam, but I do not believe it is toxic. HOWEVER.......WARNING>>>>>>>WARNING>>>>>>>WARNING> >>>>>NEVER....AND I MEAN<<<<<<NEVER MIX VINEGAR WITH chlorine (chlorox) BLEACH ..

We spray ours with plain apple cider vinegar, let it sit for about 1 hour and rinse it off.

once your grout is clean, silox 8 is the best sealer money can buy, it is not voc compliant so make certain you are well ventilated
