Its so effective and truly no scrubbing was needed. See my before and after pictures. I did not have to label them. I followed instructions and ventilated the area but an added bonus is that this product did not have overwhelming fumes. The scent was mild for the workhorse of a mold remover that it is. This is going to be my go to product from now on. I am very happy with the results.

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2025
Size: 10 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Waste of Money. Do not waste your time with this stuff. At first it seemed like a good idea but it will not get all the mold off. After two tries some came off but it was a big SMELLY mess. After sitting around for a few weeks the bottle had mostly water in the tube. No more paste, defeats the purpose.
This SHOULD BE BANNED from Amazon. I have never bought any thing as destructive from Amazon before. I am writing this after wiping this goey smelly stuff off of my shower that is now destroyed. Every Metal surface this stuff touched is now destroyed. It ate off the Shiny metal surface. It is now a dull metal surface, now DESTROYED. Thank you for destroying my shower. My shower looks like it belongs in a low lifes house not the clean one I have worked so hard for.

Size: 10 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I saw this in a Facebook ad and looked on Amazon for the reviews. Most people said it worked so I thought I’d give it a try. Our main bathroom tub has some nasty mold in the caulking. I’ve tried everything, even bleach and nothing touched it. I really had my doubts about this product working but thought I’d give it a shot. When I told my husband what I bought, I got the “oh we just threw away our money” look. And I can’t say I disagreed with him. One weekend I decided to give it a try. I cleaned the caulking first and applied a generous layer of gel. 30 minutes later, I happened to look at the tub and couldn’t believe my eyes, it was already lighter. I called my husband in so he could see and we stared in shock. It’s working! 3 hours and one more application (only to spots) later, the caulking looked brand new. Best product ever! So glad I gave this a shot!

Works on grout
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024
Size: 10 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
This works well on grout, but not so much on silicone caulk. The box says it is made to be used on "silicone surfaces", but then in another location on the box, it says "It may have limited effectiveness on mould (the company spells mold this way) behind silicone...". I'd have to agree that it has limited effectiveness on silicone. It removed a little bit, maybe 25%, but after 2 overnight uses, there's still mold behind the silicone caulk around our kitchen sink. It is easy to use and clean up is pretty easy too. So, glad I bought this as it cleaned the little bit of mold in our grouted shower, but I'm not impressed with the fact that they don't mention in the product description on line that it has limited effectiveness on silicone.

It works but
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023
Size: 10 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I am using this on a 70s era shower with cement grout... something that collects mold like all get out and it is REALLY tough to get rid of. You have to kill the mold, not simply bleach it... which BTW didn't totally remove the staining anyway. Yes, the first time I used it this worked. It clearly killed the mold and removed the staining BUT it is a very serious pain to apply for the type of job I had and the smell is horrendous. Unfortunately for us, that's a basement bathroom with little ventilation (old fan) so yeah but that's to be expected and not something I'm complaining about. The problem is the second time I went to use the tube it didn't smell anywhere near as strongly and it also didn't work. SO my take is use it or lose it... I went looking for another product and ended up with RMR - Tub and Tile Cleaner, Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, Industrial-Strength, No-Scrub Foam Cleaner. That product works like magic (it's probably terrible for the environment and made out of 'baby bunny pancreas' like my brother always jokes... something horribly offensive) almost instantly and it's waaaaay cheaper and refillable. It also smells to high heaven but at least it's super easy to apply. If you're working on something like I was, get the RMR not GlassGuard.

Absolute game changer! I have been ignoring adverts for this product in Facebook for over two years thinking that it’s got to be a scam, but holy smokes it freaking works! I can’t believe that I won’t have to cut bloody silicon out and replace it anymore, just because it’s mouldy, as it is such a pain to replace! I was gobsmacked when I wiped off this stuff after leaving it on for five hours to see that actually removed it from the silicon. Squeezed it onto the grout which wasn’t too bad, but it also ate away the mould that I was struggling to scrub off with normal shower cleaning products.

I bought this to clear some particularly bad black mould marks in the sealant around the bath. It worked ok after a 5 hour application, but still hadn’t cleared. So I tried again, leaving it for 24 hours this time. The results are brilliant and it has nearly all gone. I’m trying one last application on the bits that are left.
I don’t normally post reviews, but was so impressed I felt I should.
Lessons: you need to cut the tip off the nozzle(!), allow plenty of time and be patient.
