Directions from Packaging
Rinse immediately after use on rubber, plastic and vinyl. Avoid prolonged contact with metal and old porcelain, as this product can react with these materials and leave a ÒrustyÓ stain. Do not use on wood or painted surfaces unless you plan to refinish or repaint them. This product may not be able to remove mildew embedded in hard water deposits, old grout or silicone caulking. Avoid contact with aluminum, clothes, fabric, carpet or paper surfaces, as they will discolor. To Refill Spray Bottles: Remove trigger sprayer from empty bottle. Unscrew cap on refill and pour contents directly into empty bottle. Replace trigger sprayer and use as you normally would. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. TO REMOVE MILDEW STAINS: Spray: Turn sprayer nozzle to SPRAY position. Spray, wait until stains disappear and rinse. Foam: Turn nozzle to FOAM position. Spray 6Ð8 inches from surface until surface is thoroughly covered. Allow foam to deeply penetrate mildew and problem areas. Wipe with a wet sponge or cloth, and rinse. Heavy mildew buildup may require longer contact time, or two cleanings. If excess foam dries on nozzle, rinse with warm water. TO DISINFECT AND KILL MOLD & MILDEW ON HARD, NONPOROUS SURFACES such as glazed ceramic tile: Spray surface until thoroughly wet, let stand 5 minutes and rinse.
