DampRid Mildew Stain Remover

Many people wait until it’s too late.  This applies to a whole number of things, from dinner reservations to cleaning the house.  In the case of the latter, the state of the home can deteriorate to a high degree before anything is done.  Garbage pile-up, unmitigated clutter, and unwanted microscopic growths can make the home quite unlivable.  This is why products like DampRid were invented.  Although it can do nothing about your trash problem, people willing to convert to a preventive mentality can use DampRid to reduce humidity levels in the home, thereby stopping the growth of mold and mildew.  Due to its effectiveness and popularity, DampRid came out with a whole line of mold and mildew products.   This is where we come back to things having gotten out of hand.  If mold and mildew have already grown in the damp areas of your home, then the people behind DampRid suggest using their Mildew Stain Remover with Blocker.

   

 

  

As an idea, the DampRid Mildew Stain Remover sounds good.  For the environment, the bottle claims that there are no harmful fumes, making it a green product, something very popular these days.  They also claim that if used properly, no harmful side effects will be expected and rubber gloves are not needed as well.  This is probably due to it being a non bleach product, which is usually a good thing since bleach isn’t recommended for removing mold and mildew.  The instructions are generally simple, albeit similar to almost every other mildew cleaning spray in the market.  Just apply on the affected surface, wait a few minutes, and wipe off.  Severe stains will need a little more scrubbing and more applications.  Even soap scum and grime can be supposedly removed by this DampRid offering.  To top it all off, after the affected area is cleaned, the Stain Remover doesn’t stop working as it also has a Blocker added to the mix.  When sprayed every month or every other month depending on moisture levels, this spray should hold off mold and mildew.

The product has gotten a lot of mixed reviews, however - either it works ok but the blocker doesn’t do much, or the reason why it doesn’t have any fumes is because it’s wimpy.  Some claim that even with repeated cleanings, a little stain is still left behind.  No one would come out with a product if it didn’t work, but a lot of people report that this one just doesn’t work as well as hoped. At six to seven dollars, it’s not much more expensive compared to the competition.  But due to relative inefficiency, it may be costing you more.
