Step 1: Stain Remover

I had given up hope on ever removing the mildew from my deck furniture and canvas cushions. Although our deck furniture was kept outside under a covered deck, most everything was still subjected to the fickle, moist Ohio summers. Add to that drippy popsicle messes, and a band of homeless cats that routinely took up residence on the cushions at night, and you can imagine how literally disgusting the furniture on our deck was by the end of the summer. The cushions had both spotty mildew and dirt.To note, the instructions specifically state that this product is not for use on fabric. I decided to ignore that, as it was this or buy new cushions. I absolutely cannot believe how well this stuff works. I used it on four different types of materials, with impressive results.I do have a few suggestions for use...wear protective eye wear and wear a filter mask. I went bonkers spraying this stuff on my porch swing, and almost passed out from the fumes. It smells worse than straight bleach. Use this outside, on a relatively windless day, or you'll feel the burn on your skin. I'm not really a safety freak, but I do think eyewear, long sleeves, a mask, and sturdy gloves are a must. Wear something you don't mind ruining. That being said, I tried my deck swing first. It is that weird plastic wood composite stuff that's supposed to last forever, but it's white, so it shows everything. I sprayed the entire swing, and waited about 10 minutes before rinsing with my garden hose. Most of the spotty black gunk was gone, but I wasn't truly happy until I used a second application. The swing looks brand new again. Then I moved onto the cushions. I opted against testing an inconspicuous spot, and went to town. This stuff removed not only the mildew, but also the dirt from the cats. A few spots I had to treat twice, but the cushions look amazing. The cushions are a light teal color, so they show everything. I also used it on the multi colored patterned pillows- no problems with the colors bleeding or running. Also just hosed these off and left them in the sun to dry. Honestly I though for sure this would bleach the colors, or leave white spots all over, but that didn't happened. I moved on to the plastic deck box and outdoor garbage cans. Same awesome results, and no scrubbing required. So far, this has been the best cleaning day of my life. I live with my husband and gaggle of grimy active children, so to have something this clean is nothing short of a miracle. The last place I tried this product was on the greenish algae spots on my house siding. I had to use a stiff bristled brush, and a little elbow grease, to get everything, but it wasn't terribly difficult. I probably didn't need the brush, but I didn't want to spray this stuff above my head, and experience the rain down, so I applied some on the brush and scrubbed that way. I feel like this product has a multitude of uses. I can't wait to tackle the outdoor umbrellas next. I bought the gallon size, and used about half of it to treat 6 cushions and pillows for our deck set, 4 decorative pillows, a deck box and cushion, porch swing, two garbage cans, and about , 6x6 foot area of algae covered siding. A little goes a long way, but if the area you are treating is heavily soiled, plan on two applications. Also, if you really like your stuff, and you're not completely desperate, I would test any fabric for colorfastness prior to use.

One bottle cleaned my entire 20' jetboat, and the vinyl looks better than it has in the past 11 years! I couldn't get some of the deepest mildew stains out, but improved them by 80-90%. I was amazed at fresh mildew...I sprayed this on and turned around and the mildew was gone! Great product!

Works! After bleaching the outdoor hammock in commercial bleach with no results I tried this based on a Tik Tok video. it truly works on mildew and mold from outdoor moisture and rain. This hammock was left outside for two seasons and was covered in mildew spots. It took most of the bottle and two applications but it finally worked. Saved us from buying another hammock this summer. I also like how it didn't really bleach the color out (blue). Few products deliver on their claims. This is one of them. Definitely spray and do this outdoors. It's a got a strong bleach smell and the it requires a rinse afterwards. I'd keep it away from pets and children too.

Very happy with how well the STAR BRITE Mold & Mildew stain remover worked—stains started disappearing almost immediately upon contact! It made cleaning up a lot easier and more efficient. However, the packaging could definitely be improved. The 1-gallon container arrived inside a plastic bag, and the outer packaging wasn’t very secure. Luckily, there were no leaks. Despite that, the product itself delivers great results and I’d still recommend it.

I don't know even where to start. Boat was under shrinkwrap stored outdoors for 5 years. Totally neglected it and recently found out that there was a few holes in the wrap and the entire interior was covered in black mold. Seats looked destroyed and unrecoverable. Friend suggested that I try this and I am so glad I did. Simply sprayed it on and within seconds you could see the product literally eat the black mold. One quick wipe and it shiny white again! I still can't believe it. Went under the shrinkwrap and did all the seats in 10min. Incredible stuff!

Recommended by our grout sealer vendor as the best way to protect sealed grout without damaging the seal. It works! Mildew disappears quickly.

Mildew and Mold stains on your boat upholstery? By this product, thank me later. At a time when most things I buy are a disappointment, this product WORKS!

so upset, i love the way this works however bottle leaked in package i only got half the bottle.
