I bought this and in product description above says "kills mold and mildew". On the gallon container Iabel, nowhere does it say it kills mold & mildew?

I have been tested for mold toxins and a doctor told me to use this product. He said it does kill mold and to use it as a disinfectant as well. I spray it everywhere including my rugs.

We learned about Benefect from Serv-Pro, a national disaster mitigation service chain. They used it on a project on our house. They swear by it, and it doesn't stink!

I bought it to kill the mold on my stuco wall, and I can tell you after using it it's still there but it did get rid of it on the floor.

I have never had mold or mildew on mine, probably because we always hang it on the towel bar after each use. However, I think that it could easily be removed with a clorine solution.

I used the dispenser in both summer and winter. No mold or mildew in the past year. My kitchen where the water machine is kept is not air conditioned and still no mold. We're happy with our system. Much easier to use than always using the small table model. Some keep that model in the refrigerator. We store water in 1/2 gallon Ball canning jars. That way we always have clean water for cooking and coffee. Oh, when we go out of town for more than a day or two, we empty the machine completely. Also, we ran white vinegar through our water machine before installing the Zero water system. This cleared the system so the Zero water would actually be zero. Hope this is helpful.

I never had any problems with Mold and Mildew, but I did use those little balls that you can purchase for this unit. My biggest problem was that it left a white, chalky feeling coating on all surfaces within 3 ft. of the unit. It would take too much distilled H2O to got that route. I stopped using it.

Thank you for your question. We called ADCO at 1-800-541-ADCO to get the answer to your question. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the cover with a solution of one gallon water and 1/4 cup bleach. Use a spray bottle to apply, and allow it to sit for a few minutes, then immediately rinse. This should kill the mold. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help you! Thank you Jessica with Covers Direct

Have used this product in both kitchen and bathroom and have never experienced mold/mildew.

Yes it kills mold spores. It is a high concentration ozone and should not be used in an occupied room as ozone is a lung and mucous membrane irritant. I believe the manual says to leave the room unoccupied for forty-five minutes after completion of ozone treatment. There is a smell of ozone that lingers for quite some time as in a couple of hours or so that some of my family finds annoying. After that time the air is quite fresh as the ozone converts back to oxygen. Even in our unfinished 150 year old brick and dirt floored basement feels fresh. It has drastically cut down on any mold problems in that space. Yes it kills mold spores.

I'm not positive in the answer. But I would not want anything in my way of this product penetrating as it should. It works great! I vaguely believe this company sells a product that contains Bora care with a mold killer. Check out their website.

I have 2 of these racks and love them! One of them is used in Florida, where it is humid, and we have not seen any mildew/mold. Have used it for 4-5 years. There is a coating of plastic on the rods.

No, I do not believe it can stop mold spores. It does have a waterproof membrane so it might be effective in doing so.

I bought it to help kill mildew on old books and it has reduced the mildew smell, but I also have a UV disinfectant light in the room with the books, which may be doing most of the work. Takes a lot of patience to wand over every book.

It will kill mold spores, but won't remove the dead mold that is still there. Still has to be wiped or removed. But if it's dead and you can't get to it, still worth it.

I honestly don't know. But it works great. No problems at all with it, we keep in basement of a 250. Year old home and it has been very effective at removing mildew and killing mold. My house smells incredibly fresh since we started using it

I did not clean the mold off but I did spray the mold with 1/2 cup per gallon of chlorox/water mix. It was done in the hot summer and the mold was brown in a week. The zinc has it under control now.

I use my everyday during Cross Country season and the only time i ever encountered mildew was when i left just a little watter on the bottom, completely sealed, and left it there for a little under a week. So, Yes, it does mildew.. but not easily. Just clean it and you'll be good
