Mold stains tend to appear in dark, damp areas with high levels of moisture and humidity. That means that even the cleanest-seeming bathroom is a pretty common area for mold stains. With water constantly turned on and off, sinks, showers and tubs are a prime spot for mold stains to show up. Plus, spray from the sink and toilet can spread water droplets and contribute to mold stains in tricky bathroom corners or in tile grout lines on the walls, floors, or in the shower.
1. Point
Turn the nozzle to Foam position and locate the mold stains in and around your shower, behind the toilet or on grout lines.
2. Spray
Spray surface to cover mold and mildew stains.
3. Wash
Allow the foam to work its magic on stained areas. You may consider waiting several hours or even overnight, but rinse immediately after use on metal or porcelain to avoid pitting or discoloration.
4. Wipe
Wipe away the clingy bleach foam with a wet sponge or cloth. Heavy stains may require longer contact time or repeating the steps.
Do not use OxiClean™ Bleach Mold & Mildew Bathroom Stain Remover on clothes, fabric, wood, rubber and painted or papered surfaces. For other surfaces, spot test in a hidden area first. Always follow manufacturer’s recommendation for item on which you use OxiClean™ Bleach Mold & Mildew Bathroom Stain Remover.
Why Is it So Hard to Clean Mold Stains?
Mold and mildew stains can be difficult to get rid of because they creep into the nooks and crannies.

Plus, the no-drip foam formula clings to the mold and mildew stains to allow the cleansers to penetrate and get to work.
