Mildew - EW

MomCentral sent out the email for the X-14 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover blog tour just about the time that I had waged war on the mildew stains in my two showers.

The main bathroom is a veritable Woodstock for mildew with a propensity to party hardy because there is no window, no ventilation. Like, peace, love and mildew, man. In other words, it's disgusting.

Abby's bathroom is Mildew Central because well, she's 12. She is the child that just last week found a petrified piece of popcorn chicken in her dresser drawer and thought it was hilarious that I freaked out. All I can say is, I hope she either does a whole lot of changing before she becomes an adult or that her husband is a very tolerant person who enjoys cleaning.

When I finished doing the Happy Mailbox Dance (packages from MomCentral always induce the dance) I waged war on the mildew in my bathrooms.

I had just attacked the week earlier with another major name brand bleach-based cleaner with very poor results. Oh sure, the stains faded some, but I wanted them GONE. To be honest, I was skeptical that X-14 could do any better - HOWEVER, X-14 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover has a bleach level that is generally 60% higher than similar products on the market. And let me tell you something:

The mildew is gone. As in GONE. No more. And I'm incredibly impressed at how they are staying gone. The packaging boasts that surfaces will stay stain-free for up to two weeks. So far, I have yet to see the stains come back. The mildew hippies must've known how mad I was. Now, be warned, the higher level of bleach in X-14 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover means that the smell of bleach is well, about 60% stronger (if I were a betting woman). I highly recommend using fans and open windows when using it.

All in all, I'm giving it two very non-mildewy thumbs up. Thanks to MomCentral for making my bathrooms happier places!
