I just finished a HUGE cleaning series so you’re probably wondering why I’m blogging about yet ANOTHER cleaning product. AND, I assume you’re wondering why I’m blogging about a product that doesn’t seem to be very “green” (particularly considering it’s Earth Week). I don’t know about you, but where we live (which is about 10 minutes or so from the beach) it gets humid. In fact (not to freak you out) we had an exterminator come in a few weeks ago because we had some strange inhabitants in our kitchen (which apparently liked our kitchen because of it’s moisture and humidity). Needless to say, no matter how much I think I’m airing the house out by opening windows, mildew seems to appear in the bathrooms and the kitchen. I wish I could tell you that I clean all 3 bathrooms and the entire kitchen every day. But since I’m not superwoman, days go by and mildew sets in. The toughest areas for me are around the bases of the faucets.
Thanks to Mom Central, I was offered an opportunity to try X-14 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover. I have tried product after product after product on the mildew stains in my bathroom and kitchen. They do a good job at removing some of the stains, but they’re never completely gone. And, they seem to come back rather quickly (which is probably because I don’t remove them entirely). Now I don’t want to scare you (since that was my reaction when I googled “dangers of mold”), but mold has the potential to cause serious health effects. I’m not going to mess around with mold and mildew. I wanted it gone from my house which was why I decided to try x-14. Here is a little more information about the product from the site:
X-14 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover works without scrubbing, and it’s been proven to remove mold and mildew stains faster and more completely than competitors.
I want to start by saying that this is a very strong cleaning solution. I recommend saving this project for when the children are outside of the house. The active ingredient is sodium hypochlorite or bleach and that’s exactly what it smells like. I made sure to open the windows first before using the product. The great thing is that all you really have to do is spray the cleaner, leave, and let it sit for a few minutes while it works to remove stains. Come back, rinse and the smell will dissipate. If I had to sit and scrub, inhaling the product, I probably wouldn’t use it. But because I can spray and walk away while it works, I think it’s brilliant. I don’t like to clean, especially something as icky as mold and mildew. X-14 just does the work for me. The stains I used the product on were not heavy or thick, but I imagine this would work just as well on thicker, heavier stains. Another nice thing about the product is that it claims to keep mildew stains away for 2 weeks. Now, why can’t all of my cleaning products have that guarantee? I’d have so much more extra time!
You can use X-14 Mold and Mildew Stain Remover on a variety of surfaces. I highly recommend checking out the site, including the FAQs as they are highly informative. It retails for $7.99 and is available at retailers nationwide.
Profuse thanks to Mom Central for this review opportunity.
